Abstract
Being optimistic about their future employability can help to provide young people with certainty and independence. We examined the relationship of perceived future employability (PFE) and some career outcomes using the social cognitive career framework. Response (N = 449, 78% female, mean age 21.07 years), revealed that: (a) PFE was associated with career self-efficacy and outcome expectations, (b) career self-efficacy and outcome expectations were associated with career distress, career effort, and career aspirations, and (c) career self-efficacy and outcome expectations mediated PFE and career distress, career effort, and career aspirations.
期刊介绍:
The International Journal for Educational and Vocational Guidance publishes articles in relation to work and leisure, career development, career counselling and guidance and career education, which have preferably either an international content (e.g. comparative studies, multi or cross-cultural perspectives, regional surveys, etc.) or contribute to topics of broad international interest (e.g. theoretical developments, ethical issues, etc.). Important national developments which are of wider interest can be included. All articles should present implications for practice.
