“…Comenzando por la influencia más remota de la autoeficacia en la configuración de metas emprendedoras, los escasos estudios disponibles en adolescentes y estudiantes universitarios avalan la relación entre competencia percibida e intereses vocacionales por el desarrollo de carreras vinculadas al mundo empresarial (Flores et al, 2010;Schaub y Tokar, 2005;Schmitt-Rodermund y Vondracek, 2002;, al tiempo que se ha probado el efecto positivo de la autoeficacia sobre la intención emprendedora de estudiantes universitarios (Chen et al, 1998;De Noble et al, 1999;Kickul, Gundry . Asimismo, existe sobrada evidencia sobre la relación entre autoeficacia y conducta empresarial subsiguiente (Arenius y Minniti, 2005;Chen et al, 1998;Hechavarría et al, 2012;Koellinger, Minniti y Schade, 2007;Markman, Balkin y Baron, 2002;Markman, Baron y Balkin, 2005;McGee et al, 2009;Sequeira et al, 2007;Townsend et al, 2010), si bien este vínculo no ha sido analizado en muestras de universitarios para explicar su conducta emprendedora temprana.…”

No en vano, los postulados de la TSCC han sido probados con éxito en muestras de estudiantes universitarios de diversos campos académicos (Blanco, 2009;Diegelman y Subich, 2001;Ferry, Fouad y Smith, 2000;Flores, Robitschek, Celebi, Andersen y Hoang, 2010;Gainor y Lent, 1998;Lent et al, 2001Lent et al, , 2003Lent et al, , 2005Lent, López, López y Sheu, 2008;Lent, López, Sheu y López, 2011;Lent, Sheu, Gloster y Wilkins, 2010;Schaub y Tokar, 2005;Sheu et al, 2010;Tang, Fouad y Smith, 1999).…”

Resumen: Este trabajo analiza las limitaciones de la literatura previa sobre intenciones emprendedoras de estudiantes universitarios y propone un modelo de elección de carreras emprendedoras basado en la Teoría Social Cognitiva de Carrera (TSCC) de Lent, Brown y Hackett (1994, 2000. Particularmente, el estudio hipotetiza una relación secuencial directa entre intereses vocacionales, intenciones y conductas emprendedoras, desencadenada a su vez por las creencias de autoeficacia y expectativas de resultados extrínsecos e intrínsecos atribuidos a la creación de empresas. En la puesta a prueba del modelo, se describe un estudio realizado con 400 estudiantes universitarios de distintas áreas de conocimiento. Los resultados del trabajo, obtenidos mediante la técnica PLS (Partial Least Squares), confirman una relación positiva entre intereses, intenciones y conductas emprendedoras tempranas y erigen la autoeficacia emprendedora como el principal desencadenante de dicha secuencia de metas. Por su parte, las expectativas de resultados intrínsecos se asocian con los intereses vocacionales por la creación de empresas mientras que las recompensas esperadas a nivel extrínseco no influyen en el modelo. Los resultados tienen importantes implicaciones para el diseño de programas de apoyo a la iniciativa emprendedora en entornos universitarios.

Abstract: This work analyzes the limitations of previous literature on entrepreneurial intentions of university students and proposes a model of entrepreneurial career choice based on Social Cognitive Career Theory (SCCT) by Hackett (1994, 2000). Particularly, the study hypothesizes a sequential direct path between entrepreneurial vocational interests, intentions and nascent behaviors, which in turn would be triggered by the beliefs of self-efficacy and outcome expectations attributed to business start-up at both extrinsic and intrinsic levels. To test the hypotheses of the model, an empirical study carried out with 400 university students within different knowledge areas is described. The results obtained, using the PLS (Partial Least Squares) technique, confirm a positive direct link between entrepreneurial interests, intentions and nascent behaviors, while perceived entrepreneurial self-efficacy predicts such goal sequence. Otherwise, intrinsic outcome expectations are related to vocational interest in business startup, whereas expected extrinsic rewards do not play any important role in the model. These findings have important implications for the design of entrepreneurship support programs in university environments.

“…That is, stereotype threat was associated with diminished self-efficacy beliefs and research intentions, which in turn predicted weaker science goals. Flores et al (2010) examined the relations of contextual-cultural variables (e.g., Anglo and Mexican orientation), self-efficacy, and interests to the career choice goals of Mexican American college students regarding Holland's realistic (e.g., mechanical-technical) and investigative (e.g., scientific-mathematic) themes. Byars-Winston et al (2010) assessed the context in terms of perceptions of campus climate and included two cultural orientation variables (ethnic identity and other-group orientation) in a sample of racial-ethnic minority science and engineering majors.…”

The present review organizes the vocational psychology literature published between 2007 and 2014 into three overarching themes: Promoting (a) agency in career development, (b) equity in the work force, and (c) well-being in work and educational settings. Research on career adaptability, self-efficacy beliefs, and work volition is reviewed in the agency section, with the goal of delineating variables that promote or constrain the exercise of personal agency in academic and occupational pursuits. The equity theme covers research on social class and race/ethnicity in career development; entry and retention of women and people of color in science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) fields; and the career service needs of survivors of domestic violence and of criminal offenders. The goal was to explore how greater equity in the work force could be promoted for these groups. In the well-being section, we review research on hedonic (work, educational, and life satisfaction) and eudaimonic (career calling, meaning, engagement, and commitment) variables, with the goal of understanding how well-being might be promoted at school and at work. Future research needs related to each theme are also discussed.

“…In turn, self-efficacy and outcome expectations influence the individual's vocational interests and other career outcomes such as career choice, both directly and through a sequential pathway. Given SCCT's attention to contextual as well as internal person variables, this theory has been applied to ethnic minorities and women in both conceptual literature (e.g., Byars & Hackett, 1998) and empirical studies (e.g., Flores & O'Brien, 2002;Flores, Robitschek, Celebi, Andersen, & Hoang, 2010;Lent, Sheu, Gloster, & Wilkins, 2010;Nauta & Epperson, 2003;Navarro, Flores, & Worthington, 2007;Rivera, Chen, Flores, Blumberg, & Ponterotto, 2007). However, much of the traditional SCCT research focusing exclusively on African Americans has been conducted in math and science-related domains (Lent et al, 2005 because African Americans are underrepresented in STEM occupations (National Science Foundation, 2013).…”

Future research is needed to explore the impact of race, gender, and occupational domain on the relative influence of self-efficacy, outcome expectations, and interests on choice goals.
