| 總結: | This study investigated the relationship between personality traits and occupational self efficacy
with career interests among Malaysian university students. The demographic
factors associated with students' occupational self-efficacy and career interests were
also determined. The study had provided more insights on students' behaviour that
could enhance the alleviation of social and academic maladjustment among students
and increase their academic achievement. In addition, the findings of this study were
likely to enhance job satisfaction, quality services, and productivity. The research
questions and hypotheses determined the following objectives of the study:
1. The identification of students' occupational self-efficacy expectations, career
interests patterns, prevalent personality traits and their relationship.
2. The relationship between personality traits, occupational self-efficacy, and career
interests with the extraneous variables. 3. The relationship between personality traits and occupational self-efficacy with career
interests after controlling for the demographic variables.
The population of the study comprised the second and third year Malaysian
undergraduate students. Accordingly, based on the knowledge disciplines, 238 subjects
were selected from UPM, HUM, and UTM using the cluster random sampling. The
Occupational Self-Efficacy Scale (OSES), Vocational Preference Inventory (VPI), and
Personality Research Form (PRF) were used in the data collection to measure
occupational self-efficacy, career interests, and personality traits respectively. The
computer program software, Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) was used in
the data analysis. The statistical techniques used were Pearson and Point-Biserial
correlation, ANOVA, MANOVA, and the Multiple Regression. |
