Abstract

This study examined the role of individual and contextual factors in the development of career optimism, which leads to career decisiveness using motivational systems theory (MST). The study was conducted by adopting a longitudinal study design using responses from 254 management students in India. Results of structural equation modeling analyses suggested that the hypothesized model adequately fit the data. Career optimism mediated the relationship between each of the components of MST (goal, capability beliefs, context beliefs, and emotions) and career decisiveness except goals. Career optimism partially mediated the relationship between goals and career decisiveness. Furthermore, results indicated that none of the demographic variables (age, gender, qualification, and academic background) had any effect on either career optimism or career decisiveness.
