Predictors of Career Decision-Making Self-Efficacy in Asian American College Students
Ann-Yi, Sujin
ProQuest LLC, Ph.D. Dissertation, University of Houston
The purpose of this study was to examine what career development variables, according to the Social Cognitive Career Theory, contribute to career decision-making self-efficacy, one of the key components of career development in a sample of Asian American undergraduate college students. The career literature is historically limited in empirical studies related to Asian American career development. A regression analysis was conducted on a sample of 98 Asian American college students from a large southern urban university using the independent variables: perceived career barriers, perceived education barriers, coping with career barriers self-efficacy, coping with educational barriers self-efficacy, acculturation, and global social support to predict the dependent variable career decision-making self-efficacy. All independent variables, with the exception of acculturation, were found to be significantly correlated in expected directions with the dependent variable. A significant regression model emerged in which 36% of the variance of the dependent variable aligned with the variance of the independent variables (Adjusted R[superscript 2] = 0.36, F[subscript 6,91] = 10.108, p less than 0.0001). Implications of the findings for clinical considerations and future research on Asian American career development are discussed.
