dc.description.abstract | The objective of this study was to determine significant predictors of career uncertainty by comparing university students with low and high career uncertainty. A non-probability quota sample (N = 782) and cross-sectional design was used. Participants were categorised as either certain (n = 644) or uncertain (n = 135). These two groups were enclosed as a dependent variable in a logistic regression analysis. In the final step of the logistic regression, significant predictors of career uncertainty were found to be: lack of information about the decision-making process; lack of information about occupations; inconsistent information due to internal conflict; exhaustion (p< 0.01); lack of information about ways of obtaining information; inconsistent information due to external conflict; cynicism; and lack of dedication (p< 0.05) | en_US |
