Empirical findings show that students feel more stressed about their future positions during the isolation of a pandemic (Mahmud, Talukder, & Rahman, 2020). This study examines the dynamics of personality traits that interfere with occupational decisions among young adults, especially during a pandemic. Probable factors related to indecision are planning, emotional intelligence (EI), and career decision self-efficacy (CDSE). As such, we conducted three multiple regression analyses to predict CDSE, such as planning and indecision from the Big 5 personality measures. We hypothesized that EI and personality affect employment conflicts (Study 1), and that CDSE mediates EI and planning difficulty (Study 2). Two out of five personalities, conscientiousness and openness, significantly predicted CDSE, F(5, 128) = 15.64, p < .001, R2 = .38, while only neuroticism was statistically significant in predicting CSPS, F(5, 128) = 3.94, p < .01, R2 = .13. When predicting employment indecision, neuroticism was significant for personality variables, F(5, 128) = 5.58, p < .01, R2 = .18 while a negative correlation was found between EI and career indecision (r = -0.25, at p < .01). Results demonstrate that the positive effect of CDSE mediated EI’s link to any big decision, which reveals that conscientiousness also predicted participants’ occupational indecision (β = -0.17, p < .05), as well as the effect of EI on their choices, mediated by CDSE. This study expands on Gray, Lee, and Kim’s study (2020) by conducting a remediation analysis. Building organizational frameworks that allow college students to pursue their professional goals was critical in maximizing their full potential.

This study examines the dynamics of personality traits that interfere with occupational decisions among young adults, especially during a pandemic. Three multiple regression analyses were conducted to predict career decision self-efficacy (CDSE), e.g., planning and indecision from the Big 5 personality measures. We hypothesized that EI and personality affect employment conflicts (Study 1), and that CDSE mediates EI and planning difficulty (Study 2). Conscientiousness and openness significantly predicted CDSE, F(5, 128) = 15.64, p < .001, R2 = .38, while neuroticism was statistically significant in predicting CSPS, F(5, 128) = 3.94, p < .01, R2 = .13. Neuroticism was significant for personality variables while a negative correlation was found between EI and career indecision (r = -0.25, at p < .01). Results demonstrate that the positive effect of CDSE mediated EI’s link to career indecision, which reveals that conscientiousness also predicted participants’ occupational indecision (β = -0.17, p < .05).

This research has as main objective to identify if there are differences between emotional intelligence, social support and self-efficacy, depending on the stage of human development, adolescence and adulthood. This research involved a total of 100 people in Romania who were divided into two groups, differentiated from the stage of human development. Differences have been identified as expected, except for emotional intelligence, as adolescents have been shown to report a higher level of emotional intelligence than young adults.

ABSTRAK Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui pengaruh kecerdasan emosional, efikasi diri, motivasi kerja, dan komitmen organisasi terhadap kinerja perawat. Metodologi penelitian adalah analisis penelitian kuantitatif dengan menggunakan pemodelan persamaan struktural. Penelitian dilakukan di Rumah Sakit Anutapura, Palu, Sulawesi Tengah. Populasinya adalah perawat. Teknik pengambilan sampel menggunakan simple random sampling dan diperoleh 100 perawat pelaksana sebagai sampel. Hasil penelitian ini adalah sebagai berikut: Ada pengaruh positif kecerdasan emosional terhadap kinerja, ada pengaruh positif efikasi diri terhadap kinerja, ada pengaruh positif komitmen organisasi terhadap kinerja, tidak ada pengaruh langsung motivasi kerja terhadap kinerja. Berdasarkan hasil penelitian, kecerdasan emosional berpengaruh paling kuat terhadap kinerja. Oleh karena itu, RS Anutapura harus lebih memperhatikan variabel ini saat merekrut perawat baru. Kata Kunci: kecerdasan, efikasi diri, motivasi, komitmen.ABSTRACTThe objective of the research is to determine the effect of emotional intelligence, self efficacy, working motivation, and organizational commitment toward nurses’ performance. Research methodology is quantitative research analysis using structural equation modelling. The research was conducted at Anutapura Hospital, Palu, Middle Sulawesi. The population is nurses. Sampling technique used simple random sampling and 100 nurses obtained as a sample. The results are as follows : there is positive effect of emotional intelligence toward performance, there is positive effect of efikasi diri toward performance, there is positive effect of organizational commitment toward performance, there is no direct effect of work motivation toward performance. Based on the result of research, emotional intelligence has the strongest effect toward performance. Thus, Anutapura Hospital must pay more attentions to this variable when recruiting new nurses.  Keywords: intelligence, self-efficacy, motivation, commitment.

Although different studies have investigated career choices as cognitive acts of decision-making, non-cognitive components also play an important role. The study tries to develop an empirically based model of career decision-making process linking cognitive (search for work self-efficacy - SWSE) and non-cognitive (psychological well-being - PWB) components. In particular, the study investigates, among 148 never-employed Italian young adults, to what extent the relationship between SWSE and career indecision in terms of lack of readiness (LoR) can be explained by their common relationship with PWB. Results highlighted that SWSE is negatively associated with LoR when considered in absence of PWB. However, when PWB was included in one comprehensive model, it was positively associated with SWSE and negatively related to LoR. Moreover, the presence of PWB nullified the negative association between SWSE and LoR, meaning that PWB shares a large extent of variance with these variables. Implications are discussed in the light of theoretical expectations and limitations.

Three hundred and forty-one high school students completed measures of how confident they were in their ability to perform a variety of specific occupational tasks (task career self-efficacy), how decided they were on a career (career decidedness) and how easy it was for them to make independent decisions (indecisiveness). There were no significant differences between the gender groups on the measure of career decidedness, although females reported more difficulty in making decisions. There were significant correlations between some of the task career self-efficacy subscales and both career decidedness and indecisiveness. In particular females and males who were confident in their verbal interpersonal skills tended to be relatively decisive and relatively career-decided. A series of regression analyses indicated that the relationship between task career self-efficacy, indecisiveness and career decidedness was similar for females and males.
