“…The results suggest that there was no significant difference in the career certainty of males and females (e.g. Harren et al, 1978;Lunneborg, 1975;Daniels et al, 2011;Guay et al, 2003;Esters, 2007). The age of students was also the subject of research and led to conflicting results.…”

is a research scientist in the Designing Education Lab in the Department of Mechanical Engineering and the Director of ePortfolio Initiatives in the Office of the Registrar at Stanford University. Chen earned her undergraduate degree from UCLA and her Ph.D. in Communication with a minor in Psychology from Stanford University. Her current research interests include: 1) engineering and entrepreneurship education; 2) the pedagogy of ePortfolios and reflective practice in higher education; and 3) redesigning the traditional academic transcript.c American Society for Engineering Education, 2017 Career Certainty: Differences between career certain and uncertain engineering students AbstractTo gain a deeper understanding of the career decisions of undergraduate engineering students, this research paper explores the differences between students who show a high degree of career certainty and those who are rather uncertain about what their professional future should look like. These analyses were based on a dataset from a nationwide survey of engineering undergraduates (n=5,819) from 27 institutions in the United States. The survey was designed with an interest in understanding engineering students' career pathways. For the purpose of this study, students were designated as either "career uncertain" or "career certain" according to their survey answers. Those two groups were then compared against a variety of background characteristics, past experiences and personality variables.The results suggest that career uncertain and career certain students do not differ on background variables such as gender, age or family income. However, when it comes to students' past experiences, the percentage of students who had already gained internship experiences during their time in college was significantly higher among career certain students as compared to career uncertain students. As expected, seniors were more certain about their professional future than juniors. Similarly, a higher percentage of career certain students reported talking about their professional future with other students or faculty members more frequently. Furthermore, career certain students were significantly more likely to show a higher level of innovation self-efficacy and engineering task self-efficacy. In addition, career certain students were more likely to have career goals that involved innovation and they also considered several job characteristics as more important than did uncertain students. On average, career certain engineering students were also more certain about staying in engineering one, five and ten years after graduation.Overall, the results of this research suggest that more hands-on experiences and fostering stronger beliefs in their engineering skills can contribute to undergraduates becoming more certain about their future professional careers.

“…Tetapi kenyataanya tidak semua individu memiliki kompetensi dan mampu menentukan pilihan kariernya (Tien, 2001). Suatu kondisi dimana individu tidak mampu atau merasa sulit menentukan pilihan karier yang hendak diraih dapat disebut sebagai kebimbangan karier atau career indecision (CI) (Germijs & Boeck, 2003;Guay, Senecal, Gauthier & Fernet, 2003;Brown & Lent, 2005;Esters, 2007;Talib & Aun, 2009;Arulmani, Bakshi, Leong, & Watts, 2014).

ABSTRAKKebimbangan karier merupakan kondisi dimana individu mengalami kesulitan dalam membuat keputusan karier yang akan ditempuh. Mahasiswa tingkat akhir rentan merasakan kebimbangan karier. Hal ini mengakibatkan mahasiswa menjadi tidak yakin terhadap kemampuannya untuk menempuh jenjang karier setelah lulus nanti. Efikasi diri merupakan salah satu aspek penting dalam proses pembuatan keputusan karier, yang dapat membantu individu dalam menentukan karier. Akan tetapi, penelitian sebelumnya menunjukan hasil yang tidak konsisten mengenai hubungan antara efikasi diri dalam membuat keputusan karier dengan kebimbangan karier.Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk melihat kembali bentuk hubungan antara efikasi diri dalam membuat keputusan karier dengan kebimbangan karier pada mahasiswa tingkat akhir. Penelitian ini melibatkan 328 mahasiswa tingkat akhir sebagai sampel, yang diperoleh dengan menggunakan teknik sampel insidental. Pengukuran kebimbangan karier menggunakan alat ukur Career Decision Scale (CDS) dan pengukuran efikasi diridalam membuat keputusan karier menggunakan Career Decision Making Self-efficacy Scale (CDMSES). Hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan terdapat hubungan yang signifikan antara kedua variabel penelitian (r = -0,143 p = 0,010,01). Implikasi dari hasil penelitian ini adalah mahasiswa dapat mengurangi kebimbangan karier dengan cara meningkatkan efikasi diri saat membuat keputusan karier.Kata kunci: Career Decision Making Self-efficacy, Career Indecision, Mahasiswa Tingkat AkhirABSTRACTCareer Indecision is a condition when students has difficulty to make career decision that will be pursued. Final years college students, are vulnerable to feel career indecision, it causes students to be unsure of his ability to pursue career after graduation. Self-efficacy known as an important aspect of career decision-making process, which is can help college student to determine his or her career choice. However, previous studies have shown the inconsistent result about relationship between career decision making self-efficacy with career indecision. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to examine again the relationship between career decision making self-efficacy and career indecision among final year’s college students in1Seurune, Jurnal Psikologi Unsyiah ISSN: 2614-6428 Vol 2, No. 2, Juli 2019 E ISSN: 2655-9161Indonesia. 328 final year college students who recruited by incidental sampling participated in this study. Career Decision Making Self-Efficacy Scale (CDMSES) and Career Decision Scale (CDS) used to collect the data. Result of this study showed that there is significant correlation between Career Decision Making Self-Efficacy and Career Indecision (r = -0,143 p = 0,010,01). The implication of this study is college student with high career decision making self-efficacy can decrease their career indecision.Keywords: Career Decision Making Self-efficacy, Career Indecision, Final Year College Students

“…There are rare examples of vocational psychology research appearing in the literatures of other disciplinary fields (e.g. agricultural education; Esters, 2007, 2008). Unfortunately, vocational psychology’s contribution to agriculture over the past four decades is diminishingly insignificant when contrasted against its contributions to other industries (e.g.…”

“…Furthermore, students at an agricultural college experience levels of career decidedness and exploration behaviours that indicate a need for integrated career development learning in the curriculum (Esters, 2007(Esters, , 2008Esters & McCulloh, 2008). Vocational psychology has empirical, conceptual, and pedagogical bases on which to build curriculum-integrated career development learning (McIlveen et al, 2011;Reardon, Lenz, Sampson, & Peterson, 2009;Watts, 2006) and enhance students' employability (Fugate, Kinicki, & Ashforth, 2004).…”

The Vocational Psychology of Agriculture – Farming Food and Fibre is advanced in this article. It is argued that vocational psychology can and should provide a substantive contribution to agriculture by solving problems associated with labour supply and the quality of work, particularly the problems of poverty and hunger that blight the world. Despite its scientific and professional capability, the immediate problem is that vocational psychology lacks an epistemology and knowledge base on which to advance its contribution to agriculture. The Vocational Psychology of Agriculture – Farming Food and Fibre is motivated by the ethical vision of the psychology of working perspective. The Systems Theory Framework of Career is used as a prism to render a research agenda for the Vocational Psychology of Agriculture – Farming Food and Fibre. The Systems Theory Framework enables the integration of conceptually different vocational psychology theories. When coherently organised by the Systems Theory Framework, these theories will furnish novel research questions that may populate the research agenda and, ultimately, foster research and development that enhance agriculture’s capacity to feed and clothe the world.
