| description | Studies have shown that the behaviour of family, friends and significant others shapes young
people’s self-belief and interest in Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET)
programmes. However, limited research has documented how vocational self-efficacy can
significantly impact the relationship between perceived social support and students’ interest
in Pakistani TVET programmes. Thus, this study utilised quantitative research to examine
the role of vocational self-efficacy as a moderator in the relationship between perceived
social support and students’ interest in TVET programmes. A total of 386 secondary
school students filled out three questionnaires: vocational self-efficacy, perceived social
support, and interest in the TVET programmes scale using Social Cognitive Career theory
as a theoretical framework. The data were analysed using Structural Equation Modelling
(SEM) and statistical analysis using Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS).
The correlation analysis revealed that perceived social support and students’ interest in
the TVET programmes were negatively correlated, and vocational self-efficacy was not a
moderator. This study benefits the authorities, policymakers, and researchers in supporting
TVET programmes in Pakistan. |
