摘要:The paper examines the career decision’s self-efficacy of final year students and analyses the relationship between students’ career decision self-efficacy and parental involvement during career decision-making. The importance of cognitive factors in deciding on the profession is sufficiently widely analysed in the modern psychological literature on career topics,but links between external factors,such as parental support,interference,or non-involvement,and career decision’s self-efficacy analysis are inadequate. The aim of this study is to investigate the relationship between parental involvement during career decision-making and students’ career decision self-efficacy. The study sought to find the relationship between three parental involvement facets – support,interference,lack of engagement – and students’ career decision self-efficacy. In order to achieve the aim of this work,the following questions were formulated: whether career decision’s self-efficacy is higher on the profession determined students compared to students not determined on the profession;whether increasing support of parents when deciding on the profession will increase career decision’s self-efficacy of school leavers;whether increasing parental interference and non-involvement while choosing a career in children’s career decision self-efficacy of school leavers will decline;whether perceived parental involvement in choosing a profession is different compared to schoolgirls and schoolboys. 205 students of 11-12 grades from Vilnius and Trakai secondary schools participated in the main research (mean age – 17,SD = 0.8). The assessment was based on two questionnaires: Career-Specific Parental Behaviours (Dietrich,Kracke,2009) and Career Decision Self-efficacy Short-Form Scale (Betz,Klein,1996). The results indicated that parental support and interference were positively related to career decision’s self-efficacy,while lack of engagement was negatively associated with career decision’s self-efficacy. As well as this,it was found that students,who have made their final career choice,scored higher on Career Decision Self-efficacy. There were no gender differences between parental support and interference;however,it was found that boys tend to receive less parental involvement in their career decision–making compared to girls.
