This study intends to elaborate upon difficulties in career decisions of high school students with different locus of control. 9th, 10th, 11th and 12th grade students aged 14-19, 282 (%55.4) females, 227 (%44.6) males totaling 509 participants involved in research located in the south of Turkey. Career Decision-Making Difficulties Questionnaire (CDDQ) and Rotter Internal-External Locus of Control Scale (RIEFCS) were used to collect data. One-way analysis of variance was conducted to compare the participants' career decisionmaking difficulties in accordance with the locus of control. The findings indicate that total points obtained from the scale of career decision-making difficulties of the participants with external locus of control and lack of information of the scale with inconsistent information sub-dimensions have a higher score average than students with internal locus of control. Individuals with external locus of control experienced more difficulty in the process of decision-making due to the lack of necessary information or inconsistent information. This study contributes to practitioners working in the field of career for theory or application.
The aim of this study is to examine how career maturity levels of high school students predict their career desicion-making difficulties according to their locus of control. The sample consisted of 562 (321 female, 241 male) students from 4 different High Schools affiliated with the ministry of national education in city center of Adana province. In the study, Career Decision Difficulties Questionnaire which was developed by Gati and Saka (2001) and adapted to Turkish by Bacanlı (2008), Rotter’s Internal and External Locus of Control Scale developed by Rotter (1966) and adapted to Turkish by Dağ (1991; 2002) and Career Maturity Scale developed by Kuzgun and Bacanlı (2005) were used. The pearson moment product correlation coefficient technique was used for the analysis of the relationship between variables Regression analysis was used for the power to predict career desicion making difficulties scores of career maturity of students with internal and external locus of control. According to the findings, career maturity predicts career desicion-making difficulties and its subscales. In addition, the level of career maturity of the students with internal locus of control has reached the level of career decision making difficulties more than the students with external locus of control.

Araştırmanın çalışma grubunu dört farklı anadolu lisesinde öğrenim gören 321’i kız ve 241’i erkek olmak üzere toplam 562 öğrenci oluşturmuştur. Araştırmada Gati ve Saka (2001) tarafından geliştirilen ve Bacanlı (2008) tarafından Türkçeye uyarlanan Kariyer Karar Verme Güçlükleri Ölçeği, Rotter (1966) tarafından geliştirilen ve Dağ (1991;2002) tarafından Türkçeye uyarlanan Rotter’in İç-Dış Kontrol Odağı Ölçeği ve Kuzgun ve Bacanlı (2005) tarafından geliştirilen Mesleki Olgunluk Ölçeği kullanılmıştır. Değişkenler arasındaki ilişkinin analizi için pearson momentler çarpım korelasyon katsayısı tekniği, iç ve dış denetimli öğrencilerin mesleki olgunluklarının kariyer karar verme güçlükleri puanlarını yordama gücü için ise regresyon analizi ile hesaplanmıştır. Araştırma bulgularına göre mesleki olgunluk, kariyer karar verme güçlüklerinin toplam puan ve alt boyutlarını yordamaktadır. Ayrıca iç denetimli öğrencilerin mesleki olgunluk düzeyi kariyer karar verme güçlükleri düzeyini dış denetimli olanlara göre daha fazla yordadığı sonucuna ulaşılmıştır.
