Self-Esteem, Career Salience, and the Choice of an Ideal Occupation
Greenhaus, Jeffrey H.; Simon, William E.
Journal of Vocational Behavior, 8, 1, 51-57, Feb 76

It was found that the most likely students to consider their chosen occupation ideal were high in both self-esteem and career salience. (Author)
