Abstract

The purpose of this study is to investigate the relation between social skill, career decision making abilities, and career decision making self-efficacy (CDMSE) using statistical analysis.Although prior research discussed whether people can or not decide their own career and its factor that promote career decision making, the relation between social skill, career decision making abilities and CDMSE is rarely investigated. A questionnaire survey of 44 undergraduate students of Japanese national university was conducted. We analyzed the relation quantitively based on Bandura fs self-efficacy theory. We found that social skill promotes career decision making abilities and CDMSE directly and career decision making abilities partially mediate between social skill and CDMSE. Finally, we discussed theoretical and practical implications and addressed future research.
