Abstract
This study assessed the efficacy of My Career Story (MCS)-based online group counseling in enhancing career adaptability. Employing a pre-test, post-test, and control group design, the statistical population of this study consisted of female graduate students enrolled at Kharazmi University during the academic year 2021–2022. A voluntary sample of 16 students participated. Using the Career Adapt-Abilities Scale (CAAS), significant improvements in the concern, control, and curiosity dimensions of career adaptability were noted (P < 0.05), affirming the MCS approach’s efficacy. The results provide solid empirical support for the MCS approach in online group counseling as a means to improve career adaptability.
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.
