“…In the SCCT model, CDMSE is identified as a vital construct in understanding individuals' career decision-making processes [23]; it affects individuals' sustainable career development, long-term targets, vocational identity, and other career behaviors [24]. CDMSE can be defined as an individual's belief or confidence that they can make appropriate decisions related to their career development, and it has five dimensions: self-appraisal, gathering information, goal selection, planning, and problem-solving [25]. In various studies, CDMSE served as a crucial factor of an individual's vocational behaviors and outcomes [26][27][28][29], and these findings demonstrate a link between sustainable career development and CDMSE.…”

In the field of vocational psychology, career decision-making self-efficacy (CDMSE) and career exploration (CE) are considered the crucial factors for developing a sustainable career. This study investigated the relationship between CDMSE and CE among Chinese high-school students, as well as the moderating effects of gender and school. From 2019 to 2021, 24,273 students from 13 different high schools were recruited in the study (male = 15,050, female = 9223; urban schools = 12,327, rural schools = 11,946). The results showed that (i) male students scored significantly higher than female students in both CDMSE and CE, (ii) students from urban schools scored significantly higher than students from rural schools in both CDMSE and CE, (iii) CDMSE positively predicted CE, and (iv) school moderated the relationship between CDMSE and CE, with the effect of CDMSE on CE stronger among rural school students; a moderating effect of gender was not found. These findings indicate that promoting CDMSE can lead high-school students, especially rural school students, to engage more in CE to ensure sustainable career development under the protean and boundaryless career orientation.

“…These results also show the importance of further studies considering other implicit psychological dimensions with the potential to influence an individual's perceptions concerning career barriers, employability, and satisfaction. An example would be self-efficacy, which is inserted in a career social-cognitive perspective (Brown & Lent, 2019;Lent et al, 1994) and has been found to influence perceptions regarding career barriers.…”

Barriers, Adaptability, Employability, and Satisfaction: Career Perceptions of Business Students

et al. 2021

Objective: this study was aimed to verify how perceptions of career barriers and adaptability held by senior undergraduate students attending Business Administration programs influence employability and career satisfaction. Method: a survey was conducted among 358 senior undergraduate students. Data analysis included descriptive statistics, hypothesis tests for differences between means, and structural equation modeling. Results: significant differences were found in individuals’ perceptions regarding career barriers depending on sex and race. Contrary to the expected, the hypothesis test showed that contextual career barriers do not predict employability or satisfaction. Adaptability, in turn, predicted both, while employability predicted satisfaction. Conclusions: the results reinforce that sociodemographic characteristics are potential indicators to support understanding of perceived career barriers. Additionally, the students’ continued development of adaptability (concern, control, curiosity, confidence) to advance their careers and life plays an important role, positively influencing perceptions of overall abilities for work (employability) and career success.

“…Well planned transition is crucial for students with disabilities because they often face several postsecondary challenges and are less likely than their same age peers in general education to enroll in postsecondary school or secure and maintain well-paying employment. 36 Therefore, the problem of interest in this case example is the research evidence on the use of established career theory, specifically social cognitive career theory (SCCT), 18,19 to support students with disabilities in exploring career interests, a key component of transition planning. This problem was identified as a potential research topic appropriate for a convergent SMSR with an aggregation approach to integration using SCCT as the framework to answer the research question: What does recent literature tell us about transition experiences for students with disabilities from the framework of social cognitive career theory?…”

“…We seek to guide researchers through these decision points by elaborating on assumptions and necessary but implicit choices that every researcher must make and by providing examples from our own work. Specifically, we draw from two SMSR examples: a sequential SMSR on the relationship between college savings accounts (CSAs) and parental expectations for college-going, and a convergent SMSR to understand research evidence on the use of established career learning theory, specifically social cognitive career theory (SCCT), 18,19 to support students with disabilities in exploring career interests through job exploration, a key component of transition planning.…”

Leveraging the opportunities of mixed methods in research synthesis: Key decisions in systematic mixed studies review methodology

Research Synthesis Methods

This article identifies and unpacks three key decision points in a systematic mixed research synthesis, a mixed methods approach to research synthesis. The research community has increasingly recognized the value of synthesis studies in expanding our understanding of phenomena. Mixed‐methodology broadly has also gained ground as a pragmatic approach to research investigations. By leveraging mixed methods approaches in a synthesis review, systematic mixed studies review (SMSR) enables a broad and integrated summary of existing research on the topic. Yet SMSRs can be challenging to undertake given the complexity of working with research synthesis and mixed methods requirements. This methods guidance article presents information to assist novice researchers in navigating these critical decisions in SMSRs, and provides examples of how these were addressed by researchers in the two case studies provided. Implications of the SMSRs for the research community and future research directions are also discussed.
