“…The need for autonomy means that individuals try to make choices in initiating, maintaining and regulating their behavior (Guay, Senécal, Gauthier, & Fernet, 2003). In addition, the autonomy degree of the decision and autonomy support are thought to lead to positive cognitive and emotional outcomes (Katz, Cohen, Green-Cohen, & Morsiano-Davidpur, 2018). In this context, as the need for autonomy increases, students may experience career indecisiveness because they think of many professions and find it difficult to find the profession they want to practice independently.…”

The aim of this study is to examine the relationship between high school students’ emotional and personality-related career decision-making difficulties (EPCD), perception of social support and basic psychological needs. The predictive effect of social support perception and basic psychological needs on EPCD will also be examined. In addition, it has been examined whether emotional and personality-related career decision-making difficulties differ according to some demographic variables. In this research, survey model was used. For collecting data, Personal information form; the EPCD-short form; New Psychological Needs Assessment Scale, were used. The data obtained in this research were analyzed using SPSS (20). In the analysis of the data, descriptive statistics, independent groups t-test, ANOVA test, and correlation and regression analysis technique were used. In addition, a significant correlation was found between the mean scores of the students on the career difficulties, and the perceived social support, and the autonomy and the achievement. The findings were discussed as a part of the relevant literature and suggestions based on the findings were included.

“…Yet, it is theoretically and practically important to know whether self-employment is positively linked to eudaimonia in general or whether this relationship only holds in certain contexts. On the one hand, self-determination theory highlights the importance of contexts that enable individuals to make volitional choices in research on employees ( Deci et al, 2017 , for a review) and in career decision making research ( Katz et al, 2018 ). On the other hand, a review ( Stephan, 2018 ) pointed to the lack of consideration of context for the explanation of well-being benefits of entrepreneurship.…”

“…However, research on how particular aspects of context may impact well-being is lacking ( Stephan, 2018 ). We start to develop such theory by integrating insights from self-determination theory (SDT) about contexts enabling self-determined (career) choices ( Deci et al, 2017 ; Katz et al, 2018 ) with research on the relevance of cultural norms and, in particular, the societal legitimacy of entrepreneurship ( Kibler et al, 2014 ; Stephan and Uhlaner, 2010 ). Doing so advances the understanding about normative influences on volitional career choice through impacting the choice-set of both , the wage- and self-employed, as well as about the significance of volitional career choice for the subsequent experience of work (meaningfulness and autonomy).…”

This study investigates why and where self-employment is related to higher levels of eudaimonic well-being. We focus on meaningfulness as an important eudaimonic process and subjective vitality as a eudaimonic well-being outcome that is central to entrepreneurs' proactivity. Building on self-determination theory, we posit that self-employment, relative to wage-employment, is a more self-determined and volitional career choice, which enhances the experience of meaningfulness at work and perceptions of work autonomy. In a multi-level study of 22,002 individuals and 16 European countries, meaningfulness at work mediates the relationship between self-employment and subjective vitality and explains this relationship better than work autonomy. We identify moderating effects of context: the societal legitimacy of entrepreneurship in a country affects the choice set of alternative career options that individuals can consider and thus shapes the experience of meaningfulness at work and work autonomy, and thereby indirectly subjective vitality. These findings expand our understanding of eudaimonic well-being, entrepreneurs' work, and the role of context in entrepreneurship and well-being research. They complement existing research on hedonic well-being of entrepreneurs and extend the scarce literature on their eudaimonic well-being.

“…The goals and the material, psychological, and social resources adolescents utilize to achieve them are influenced by the social, cultural and environmental circumstances they live in (Massey, Gebhardt & Garnefski, 2008). In particular, parental involvement and support have been found to be associated with adolescent goal-setting, perceptions of attainability, and plans for goal attainment (Ginevra, Nota & Ferrari, 2015) with parental support of autonomy in adolescents being related to adolescents' satisfaction with career decisions, wellbeing, and success (Katz, Cohen, Green-Cohen & Morsiano-Davidpur, 2018).…”

The intent of the present study was to examine the associations among differentiation of self, resilience and hope. Extending Bowen’s family systems theory to adolescents in a middle eastern culture, we anticipated age and gender-based differences in the level of the constructs as well as in the associations among them. Employing a multistage cluster sampling procedure, a sample of 300 adolescents (132 girls and 168 boys) ranging in age from 14 to 19 years old (M = 16.36 years; SD = 1.24) were recruited from junior and senior high schools in Khoramabad. Data were collected through self-report measures, Differentiation of Self Inventory, Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale and Snyder Hope Scale, and analyzed via descriptive statistics, correlations and bootstrap analyses. Higher scores of differentiation were related to greater resilience and hope. Scores on I-position, emotional cutoff and fusion with others were also associated with resilience and hope. Age and gender differences emerged in certain components of differentiation. However, a moderated mediation analysis revealed no moderating effects of age and gender in the association between differentiation and resilience. Separate gender based bootstrapping results for mediation highlighted the specific indirect paths that resilience has in the relationship between I-position and hope in adolescent boys and between emotional closeness (low emotional cutoff) and hope in adolescent girls. Findings are discussed with regard to the cross-cultural validity of Bowen family systems theory.
