Mapping the Nomological Network of Career Self-Efficacy

This article examined the degree to which personality hardiness (control, commitment, and challenge), career beliefs (status, preference, motivation, and flexibility), self-efficacy (general and social), and occupational choice status related to career self-efficacy among a sample of 181 college juniors and seniors. Results from an intercorrelation matrix and regression analysis indicated that motivation, self-efficacy, occupational choice status, and commitment correlated significantly to career self-efficacy. Applications of these findings to career counseling are discussed.
