A well-planned career decision-making process helps individuals to be successful in an occupation. However, an undesirable decision-making process may hinder career development. This type of undesirable decision-making possibly leads to regrets in a career; if not addressed, these regrets may be highly destructive. To deepen the understanding of the reasons leading to it, this study focuses on the mediator role of career adaptability and career construction regarding the relationship between hope and regret. We collected the data through convenience sampling, and the participants comprised 550 Turkish university students. Each participant completed Dispositional Hope Scale, Student Career Construction Inventory, Career Adapt-Abilities Scale—Short Form, and Career Decision Regret Scale. The results revealed that career adaptability and career construction had significant mediator effects regarding the relationship between hope and career regret.</p>","PeriodicalId":47601,"journal":{"name":"Career Development Quarterly","volume":"71 4","pages":"267-283"},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2023-11-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135342046","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Immigrants make up a sizable proportion of the workforce and contribute to the US economy by creating jobs through entrepreneurship endeavors. However, research about culturally responsive programs for the immigrant community to assist in exploring entrepreneurship opportunities is lacking. The consensual qualitative research (CQR) method was implemented to analyze the interviews of 11 immigrant students, who participated in the 5-week program at a community college. Analyses revealed that students engaged in critical consciousness regarding barriers to entrepreneurship, educational values and barriers, achievement values, and the unique experience of immigrant entrepreneurs. Students addressed cultural advantages to reduce barriers during the program by engaging supports, family, technology, and community as resources. These strategies may be helpful to scholars, educators, and practitioners seeking to support immigrants in pursuing community entrepreneurship as educational and career pathways.</p>","PeriodicalId":47601,"journal":{"name":"Career Development Quarterly","volume":"71 4","pages":"284-299"},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2023-10-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/cdq.12335","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135883025","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Just as work volition has emerged as a key factor in understanding access to decent work, students’ sense of control over or volition in the college-going process may be a key factor in understanding their access to postsecondary education. In the current study, we adapted a common measure of work volition to create a measure of college-going volition (CGV). In a large sample of rural Appalachian high school students, the measure showed good psychometric properties and strong measurement invariance across gender and prospective college-generation groups. There were no gender differences in CGV, but prospective first-generation college students demonstrated significantly lower CGV than their continuing-generation peers. CGV also accounted for significant unique variance in college-going self-efficacy beyond educational barriers.</p>","PeriodicalId":47601,"journal":{"name":"Career Development Quarterly","volume":"71 4","pages":"252-266"},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2023-09-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135395201","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
