Predicting Occupational Considerations: A Comparison of Self-Efficacy Beliefs, Outcome Expectations, and Person-Environment Congruence.
Gore, Paul A., Jr.; Leuwerke, Wade C.
Journal of Career Assessment, v8 n3 p237-50 Sum 2000
Regression analysis of data from 93 college students showed that self-efficacy beliefs and outcome expectations are more powerful predictors of occupations considered than person-environment congruence. Congruence alone is a weak predictor of occupational considerations. Social Cognitive Career Theory and Holland's Theory of Career Choice regarding person-environment fit are therefore not complementary. (SK)
