Mapping the Nomological Network of Career Self‐Efficacy

This article examined the degree to which personality hardiness (control, commitment, and challenge), career beliefs (status, preference, motivation, and flexibility), self‐efficacy (general and social), and occupational choice status related to career self‐efficacy among a sample of 181 college juniors and seniors. Results from an intercorrelation matrix and regression analysis indicated that motivation, self‐efficacy, occupational choice status, and commitment correlated significantly to career self‐efficacy. Applications of these findings to career counseling are discussed.
