“…Moreover, it was found that neuroticism was positively related with impetuous indecisiveness. This is a consistent finding with the findings from the previous studies (e.g., Kelly & Shin, 2009;Lounsbury et al, 2005;Page et al, 2008). Also, this finding shows that neuroticism has a role in impetuous indecisiveness.…”

“…In other words, individuals who effectively communicate with others have a low level of exploratory indecisiveness. Also, it can be expected that individuals who are sociable, friendly, alive and talkative in their decision making approach have lower levels of exploratory indecisiveness (Lounsbury, Hutchens, & Loveland, 2005). Indeed, findings obtained by Gati et al (2011) support this finding.…”

ABSTRACT:The purpose of this study is to examine whether the five-factor personality characteristics and selfesteem predict two subtypes of personal indecisiveness (exploratory indecisiveness and impetuous indecisiveness). A total of 483 students (269 female and 208 male students, 6 of the students did not state gender) studying at the various faculties of Gazi University participated in the study. The results show that both exploratory and impetuous indecisiveness are significantly and positively correlated to neuroticism, and are significantly and negatively correlated to extraversion, openness to experience, conscientiousness, and self-esteem. Exploratory indecisiveness is not correlated with agreeableness. Self-esteem was found to be the strongest predictor of exploratory indecisiveness, followed by neuroticism and extraversion. The strongest predictor of impetuous indecisiveness was found to be neuroticism, followed by self-esteem, conscientiousness, and openness to experience. The findings are discussed within the scope of the relevant literature.Keywords: personal indecisiveness, exploratory indecisiveness, impetuous indecisiveness, five-factor personality characteristics, self-esteem. ÖZ:Bu araştırmanın amacı kişisel kararsızlığın iki alt boyutu olan araştırıcı ve aceleci kararsızlığın beş faktör kişilik özellikleri ve öz saygı ile ilişkisini ve beş faktör kişilik özellikleri ile öz saygının her iki kararsızlığı yordayıp yordamadığını incelemektir. Araştırmaya Gazi Üniversitesinin çeşitli fakültelerinde öğrenim gören 483 öğrenci (269 kız, 208 erkek, 6 öğrenci cinsiyet belirtmemiştir) katılmıştır. Sonuçlar, hem araştırıcı kararsızlığın hem de aceleci kararsızlığın nevrotizm ile pozitif, dışadönüklük, deneyime açıklık, sorumluluk ve öz saygı ile anlamlı ve negatif ilişkili olduğunu göstermiştir. Araştırıcı kararsızlığın yumuşak başlılık ile ilişkisi anlamlı bulunmamıştır. Araştırıcı kararsızlığın en güçlü yordayıcısı düşük öz saygı olmuş ve bunu nevrotizm ve dışadönüklük izlemiştir. Deneyime açıklık, yumuşak başlılık ve sorumluluğun etkisi anlamlı bulunmamıştır. Aceleci kararsızlığın en güçlü yordayıcısı ise nevrotizm olmuş, bunu düşük öz saygı, sorumluluk ve deneyime açıklık izlemiştir. Dışadönüklük ve yumuşak başlılığın etkisi anlamlı bulunmamıştır. Yumuşak başlılık her iki kararsızlık tipinin yordayıcısı olmamıştır. Sonuçlar ilgili literatür çerçevesinde tartışılmıştır.Anahtar sözcükler: kişisel kararsızlık, araştırıcı kararsızlık, aceleci kararsızlık, beş faktör kişilik özelliği, öz saygı.

“…The most common theoretical frameworks involving these sub-types have been personality led, e.g. trait based anxiety, self-esteem, locus of control, emotional stability, neuroticism (see Gordon 1998;Hirschi 2011;Lounsbury, Hutchens and Loveland 2005). For example, Lounsbury et al (1999;Lounsbury, Hutchens and Loveland 2005) studied the personality antecedents of career decidedness in relation to college students, finding positive correlations with traits such as student conscientiousness and agreeableness, but negative relationships with neuroticism (Lounsbury et al 1999).…”

This study investigates the role of personal values as motivational antecedents for understanding HE student career decidedness among university business school (UBS) students. We propose a new 'protean' informed HE student career decidedness model for theorizing how both personal values and social capital mediators (student social capital; personal, social and enterprise skills; access to resources) help in the student-centric and self-directed processes of career decision-making. A mixed methods study combines a (stage 1) survey of 308 UBS students from five (UK) university business schools, with results from (stage 2) four student focus groups, and (stage 3) two staff-student interactive seminars. From an employability perspective, arguably, the ultimate responsibility for becoming a 'protean graduate' rests with each UBS student, whilst the obligation of HE staff is to effectively facilitate and nurture all possible personal growth and skills development opportunities.

“…To assess decidedness, the Career Decidedness Scale (John W Lounsbury, Tatum John W Lounsbury, Hutchens, & Loveland, 2005) and has been widely used in employment studies (Earl & Bright, 2007;Feldt & Woelfel, 2009;Uthayakumar, Schimmack, Hartung, & Rogers, 2010). In terms of reliability, Cronbach's alpha was used and scored 0.751.…”

Youth employment in start-up ventures in Jordan: an exploratory study

Youth in developing countries are faced with high unemployment rates, even when they possess higher education degrees. In the developing world, small business and entrepreneurial ventures constitute the main drivers of economic development and offer employment opportunities for youth. Nevertheless, when faced with a career decision after their studies, youth seem to prefer careers in established companies over start-ups. As a consequence, start-ups find it more difficult to find and hire the right employees although they are available in the market. This study aims at examining the factors behind youth career decisions to work for a start-up company and provides suggestions for both research and practice. By relying on both entrepreneurship and career decision-making literature, we developed a theoretical model that includes background factors and individual characteristics. Results from a survey on youth graduates from Jordan show that a high school education fostered critical thinking and international exposure, the participation in entrepreneurial events and creativity, which predicted the willingness to work for a start-up.
