Abstract: Social cognitive career theory (SCCT) recognises the importance of individual differences and contextual influences in the career decision-making process.

“…Hence, psychological resources influence career development and range from more trait-like (such as neuroticism, extraversion, conscientiousness, openness to experience, core self-evaluations, proactive personality, or positive and negative affect; e.g., Judge & Hurst, 2008;Rogers, Creed, & Ian Glendon, 2008) to more state-like (such as career self-efficacy beliefs or vocational hope; e.g., Avey, Luthans, & Youssef, 2010;Diemer & Blustein, 2007).

Tomando agora as relações observadas entre as variá-veis sócio-demográfi cas, são os participantes mais velhos (e.g., Rogers & Creed, 2011;Rogers, Creed, & Glendon, 2008), de nível socioeconómico mais elevado (e.g. ; Blustein et al, 2002;Thompson & Subich, 2006) e do sexo feminino (e.g., Creed et al, 2009;Kracke & Schmitt--Rodermund, 2001;Rogers & Creed, 2011) que reportam os maiores níveis de exploração, que se apresentam menos indecisos (e.g., Vondracek, Hostetler, Schulenberg, & Shimizu, 1990), mais comprometidos (e.g., Chung, 2002) e com menor tendência para a exclusão prematura de opções (e.g., Lopez, 1994).…”
