“…For example, the research conducted in Nigeria showed that 48.36% of the participants claimed that parents were affecting their career choice (Olaosebikan & Olusakin, 2014). The research carried out in India and the USA also confirmed the statement that family influence was an essential factor in the process of a career choice and in the career-related decisions (Fouad, Kim, Ghosh, Chang, & Figueiredo, 2016). One can think that family members are more relevant in students' career choices comparing with other people, e.g., friends, teachers and so on (Kochung & Migunde, 2011;Taylor, Harris, & Taylor, 2004).…”

Professional self-determination/career choice is one of the most essential things in a young human’s life. Choosing a further life path is rather complicated. Self-cognition, harmony of one’s abilities and desires is difficult to be achieved. It is important for the young people to choose a profession corresponding to their interests, values, inclinations. It is not less important that the work/chosen profession would have a demand in the labour market. So, professional self-determination is inseparable from the all-round and directional personality education. A representative, complex research was conducted at the beginning of 2018, in which 643 Lithuanian gymnasium 11-12 grade students participated. Applying a questionnaire as an instrument, the gathered data were analysed using measures of descriptive statistics, correlation and factor analysis. In this research, it was emphasized on how Lithuanian gymnasium students valued their future personal career, how they planned their future professional activity, and the internal structure of the career choice process was established. The most significant factors for career choice were Personal feature importance, Profession prospects, and Important people’s position. The least significant factor was Coincidence factors. Some gender differences were found in significance of the factors contributing to career choice. Research results allow stating that differentiated and individualised approach remains urgent in the career education of students in the gymnasium. The role of psychologists, social workers and professional consultants working at school and its development remains very important as well.

“…Igualmente se debe tomar conciencia de que en toda toma de decisiones se está implicando a quién rodea al sujeto que decide (Slaten y Baskin, 2014;Olle y Fouad, 2015;Fouad, Kim, Ghosh, Chang y Figueiredo, 2016;Sleesman and Coulon, 2017;Morcionetti y Rosier, 2017;Lim y You, 2019). De ahí la importancia de hacer partícipes de las decisiones a las personas próximas y que forman parte de la vida del sujeto, en el caso que nos ocupa el alumnado de secundaria.…”

“…Estas diferencias pueden ser debidas a una mayor incidencia e implicación del centro y de la familia en la ayuda y consejo en la toma de decisiones. El profesorado y las familias han de tener un papel importante en el proceso de toma de decisiones (Santana y Feliciano, 2011;Olle y Fouad, 2015;Fouad, Kim, Ghosh, Chang y Figueiredo, 2016;Lim y You, 2019).…”

RESUMEN En este estudio se analiza la relevancia que tienen las dimensiones cognitiva, emocional y social en el proceso de toma de decisiones en el alumnado de secundaria, concretamente en 4º de educación secundaria obligatoria (ESO) y 2º de bachillerato, la interrelación entre dichas dimensiones y su relación con el género, el nivel educativo y el tipo de centro. En el estudio participaron 494 alumnos/as, 288 de 4º de ESO y 206 de 2º de Bachillerato de cuatro centros de la provincia de Barcelona (2 públicos y 2 concertados). Para ello, se elaboró un cuestionario de toma de decisiones con tres subescalas que corresponden a las dimensiones cognitiva, emocional y social. Los resultados obtenidos confirman que en los procesos de toma de decisiones influyen, de forma significativa, las tres dimensiones con una relevancia muy similar. Igualmente se aprecia una fuerte interrelación entre las tres dimensiones, con correlaciones altamente significativas entre sí. El coeficiente más alto se produce entre las dimensiones cognitiva y emocional. Esto confirma que en la toma de decisiones tiene tanto peso la emoción como la cognición. Y en cuanto a la relación de estas dimensiones con las variables género y nivel educativo no se aprecian diferencias significativas, en cambio sí se producen diferencias significativas con la variable tipo de centro (público y concertado), concretamente en las dimensiones cognitiva y social. En los centros concertados las puntuaciones son ligeramente más altas. Los resultados ponen de manifiesto la necesidad de acompañar al alumnado de estos niveles educativos en el proceso de su toma de decisiones.ABSTRACT This study analyses the importance of the cognitive, emotional and social dimensions in the decision-making process in secondary school students, specifically in 4th year of compulsory secondary education (ESO) and 2nd year of Baccalaureate, the interrelation between these dimensions and how they are related to students’ gender, educational level and type of school. The study involved 494 students, 288 of 4th ESO and 206 of 2nd Baccalaureate (at 16 and 18 years old respectively) from four schools in the province of Barcelona (2 public and 2 concerted school). To do that, a decision-making questionnaire was developed with three subscales that correspond to the cognitive, emotional and social dimensions. The results obtained confirm that the three dimensions with a very similar relevance influence the decision-making processes significantly. Likewise, a strong interrelation between the three dimensions can be found, with highly significant correlations between them. The highest coefficient occurs between the cognitive and emotional dimensions. This confirms that emotion and cognition have as much weight in decision making. Regarding the relationship of these dimensions with the gender and educational level variables, there are no significant differences, however there are significant differences with the type of school variable (public and concerted school), specifically in the cognitive and social dimensions. In the concerted school the scores are slightly higher. The results show the need for guidance and support the students of these educational levels in the process of their decision making.

“…Although research on career development appears quite enormous, there are still calls for continuous studies on career behaviours and the relationship with their antecedents and consequences (Fouad, Kim, Ghosh, Chany, & Figueiredo, 2016;Hargrove, Inman, & Crane, 2005). The importance of academic satisfaction in career decision making has also been acknowledged by career and vocational counsellors (Milson, & Coughlin, 2017).…”

To successfully progress in achieving the objective of vocational and technical education, it is necessary to determine the students’ satisfaction levels with the programmes as it relates to their career decision efficacy. This research, therefore, determined the demographic predictors in the relation between academic major satisfaction and negative career thoughts. The research was guided with four hypothesized research questions. Cross-sectional design that embedded a correlational survey was employed. The participants were 622 vocational education undergraduates selected from a public state-owned university in South-west Nigeria. The students’ demographic variables (e.g. gender, academic level of study, age, and subject areas of specialization), academic major satisfaction scale, and negative career outlook sub-scale were the main constituents of the questionnaire that was used for data collection. Data analyses were performed using mean, standard deviation, bivariate correlation, and regression analyses. Results depicted that the students’ satisfaction with their academic major significantly predicted their negative career thoughts. It was also found that gender, academic level and subject areas of specializations were the demographic variables that predicted satisfaction with one’s academic major, as well as negative career thoughts. Intervention studies were therefore recommended for career behaviour modification among vocational education undergraduates. Keywords: academic major satisfaction, career thought, demographic variables, vocational education students.
