This study aims to see how contextual support, personal mastery, self-efficacy, outcome expectation, and passion influence potential career choices in project management. The demand for project management practitioners is increasing, yet the younger generations are not particularly interested in pursuing this career. A quantitative study was conducted by collecting data from 346 university students and entry-level employees in project management using an online survey. Analyses using SEM have showed that personal mastery positively influences self-efficacy and outcome expectations. Both outcome expectations and passion positively influence career interests. There is no direct relationship between self-efficacy and career interests. The practical implication of this study is to have a better understanding on what influences people in pursuing a career, specifically in project management.
