Academic self-efficacy is positively associated with confidence and competence in decision making, which is critical for success in career decision making (Kim, et. al., 2022).…”

This descriptive research explored the academic self-efficacy, career development learning, and employability abilities of 405 Chinese college students taken at random. The study aimed to describe the demographic profile of the respondents in terms of sex, grade, university type, and family location; determine the academic self-efficacy of university students from the perspective of student attitudes, behaviors and abilities; determine the professional development learning situation of university students in terms of career exploration, career decision-making, and career action and monitoring abilities; identify the mastery of college students' employment skills, including professional employability, social coping skills, and employment development abilities; test the significant differences of responses when grouped by demographic variables; test the relationship between and among academic self-efficacy, career development learning and employment skills; and propose a Student Development Program.Results show that the majority of respondents are senior students, from rural areas, male and from public universities. In terms of academic self-efficacy, the respondents generally performed well, especially in terms of learning attitude and learning ability, showing a positive trend. Notably, respondents demonstrate positive career abilities and excel in career decision-making. The overall professional employment skills of respondents are relatively high with the social coping skills relatively lowest.University type had a significant impact on academic self-efficacy and students' employability skills.Career development learning ability showed significant differences in grade and university type, while sex, grade and place of birth had no significant effects on these aspects. Older adults and school students perform better in career decision-making, career exploration, career action, and monitoring. Furthermore, there is a significant positive correlation between and among academic self-efficacy, career development capabilities, and employability skills. Based on the findings, it proposed a student development plan. Schools may improve the learning environment, provide more learning resources and support, encourage students to participate in extracurricular activities and social practice, strengthen connections with society and enterprises, provide more employment information and guidance, and cultivate students' innovative spirit and entrepreneurship ability for better career prospects among students.

“…The CPBQ was developed by Kim (1997). It consists of 18 items on a 4‐point Likert scale (1 = absolutely true to 4 = absolutely untrue ), and the sample items of the scale are as follows: “I have talked about my career or aptitude with my friends in the past few weeks,” “I have watched or attended TV programs, job fairs, or recruitment fairs that are related to my career or job in past three months.” Cronbach a of the scale was 0.84 in Kim's study, and 0.90 in the current study.…”

The present study aimed to develop and validate a checklist questionnaire addressing career problems faced by college students. The research involved four steps: scale development, exploratory factor analysis, scale revision, and confirmatory factor analysis and correlation analyses. The career problem checklist comprised four components with 16 items: Self‐awareness (4 items), Occupational Information (4 items), Career Decision‐making (4 items), and Job‐seeking Skills (4 items). The reliability and the validity of the current scale were supported by the high levels of coherence of the subscales and their correlations with the related measures. The study's limitations and implications are also discussed.

“…We selected the study variables (barriers, preparation, self efficacy, and adaptability) based on previous studies [5,10]. Recent studies conducted to aid in evaluating and developing interventions tailored to college students' various career decision profiles (CDPs) [15,17] examined students with decided and undecided career paths; they indicate that failing to consider differences in career development characteristics between these two groups may undermine career counseling and intervention effectiveness.…”

“…Jung [16] reported that students with the "decided-comfortable" profile had high major satisfaction and career identity; those with the "undecided -uncomfortable" profile had high career stress. Meanwhile, Korean researchers reported that 40.0%~53.0% of the 70.0%~73.0% of decided participants were uncomfortable with their decisions [15,17].…”

Purpose: This study aimed to identify the career decision profiles for nursing students and analyze their career barriers, preparation behaviors, decision-making self efficacy, and adaptability according to the career decision profiles.Methods: This cross-sectional study used content analysis. A total of 219 nursing students enrolled in two private Korean universities participated in this study. The data were collected in person and via email between December 8 and 31, 2020.Results: The decidedness and comfort results were statistically significant. Four clusters were identified: undecided-uncomfortable, decided-uncomfortable, decided-comfortable, and undecided-comfortable. Most participants were found to be decided-uncomfortable, followed by decided-comfortable, undecided-uncomfortable, and undecided-comfortable. The self efficacy scores were higher for the decision-comfortable profile than for the undecided-uncomfortable and decided-uncomfortable profiles. The mean adaptability scores were higher for the decision-comfortable profile than for the undecided-comfortable profile. Career barriers were negatively correlated with preparation behavior, decision-making self efficacy, and adaptability, while preparative behaviors were positively correlated with decision-making self efficacy and adaptability. Decision-making self efficacy was positively correlated with adaptability. The mean career barriers, preparation behaviors, decision-making self efficacy, and adaptability scores differed significantly across profiles. The mean career barrier score was higher for the undecided-uncomfortable than for the decided-comfortable profile; preparation behaviors exhibited no significant differences.Conclusion: Tailored career coaching and counseling programs based on personal characteristics and areas of interest are needed for freshmen and senior nursing students to reduce career barriers and to improve preparation behaviors, decision-making self efficacy, and adaptability.
