It essentially denotes a state of being undecided about one’s educational, occupational, or career-related path (Osipow, 1999; Xu & Bhang, 2019). From a life-span perspective (Super, 1994), career decision-making is a continuous task throughout one’s career, and individuals need not only to make initial career choices during schooling but also to make necessary adjustments to their choices after entry to the vocational world (Savickas et al, 2009).…”
