| description | The aim of this research was to study the role of personal style of decision-making, personality dimensions according to the "Big Five" model, perceived self-efficacy in reference to occupational choices, and self-regulation in the process of occupational decision-making of fourth-year high-school students. We applied the Decision-Making Questionnaire for Adolescents, Career Decision-Making Difficulties Questionnaire, Big Five Inventory – BFI, Self-Regulation Inventory, and Career Decision Self-Efficacy Scale. The results confirmed the correlation between the level of manifestation of students' problems (i.e. occupational indecision) and their perceived self-efficacy in occupational decision-making, their ability of self-regulatory behaviour, and personality traits, such as emotional stability, conscientiousness and energy. The results also confirmed the difference in the level of manifestation of students' problems with relation to their prevailing style of decision making (whether it is adapted or non-adapted). The study offers better and more comprehensive insight into the behaviour and experience of fourth-year students in the process of occupational decision-making. As such it presents the basis for higher quality of occupational counselling. |
