Abstract
Having effective career planning attitudes is a significant psychological resource for dealing with occupational burdens, unanticipated conflicts, and ambivalences in business area. The major purpose of the study was to reveal whether Turkish undergraduates’ career planning attitudes were shaped by their trait emotional intelligence, cognitive flexibility, and resilience levels, or not. Two hundred forty-four undergraduates in a private university participated in the study. Revised Schutte Emotional Intelligence Scale, Cognitive Flexibility Inventory, and Resilience Scale were used to figure out the predictive roles of these variables on career construction skills (career adaptability, career optimism, and perceived knowledge about job market) measured by Career Futures Inventory. Multivariate regression analysis showed that trait emotional intelligence, cognitive flexibility, and resilience were pivotal predictors of Turkish youth’s career construction deeds. The findings are essential for Turkish career counselors to consider how Turkish undergraduates’ career development can be facilitated by focusing on these resources.
Résumé
Avoir des attitudes efficaces en matière de planification de carrière est une ressource psychologique importante pour faire face aux fardeaux professionnels, aux conflits imprévus et aux ambivalences dans le domaine des affaires. L'objectif principal de l'étude était de révéler si les attitudes de planification de carrière des étudiants turcs de premier cycle étaient façonnées par leurs traits d'intelligence émotionnelle, leur flexibilité cognitive et leurs niveaux de résilience, ou non. Deux cent quarante-quatre étudiants de premier cycle d'une université privée ont participé à l'étude. L'échelle d'intelligence émotionnelle révisée de Schutte, l'inventaire de flexibilité cognitive et l'échelle de résilience ont été utilisés pour déterminer les rôles prédictifs de ces variables sur les compétences de construction de carrière (adaptabilité de carrière, optimisme de carrière et connaissance perçue du marché du travail) mesurées par l'inventaire de l'avenir professionnel. L'analyse de régression multivariée a montré que l'intelligence émotionnelle, la flexibilité cognitive et la résilience étaient des prédicteurs essentiels des compétences en matière de construction de carrière des jeunes Turcs. Les résultats sont essentiels pour les conseillers d'orientation turcs qui doivent envisager comment faciliter le développement de carrière des jeunes turcs en se concentrant sur ces ressources.
Zusammenfasung
Eine wirksame Einstellung zur Karriereplanung ist eine wichtige psychologische Ressource für den Umgang mit beruflichen Belastungen, unvorhergesehenen Konflikten und Ambivalenzen im Geschäftsleben. Das Hauptziel der Studie war es, herauszufinden, ob die Einstellungen türkischer Studierender zur Karriereplanung durch ihre emotionale Intelligenz, kognitive Flexibilität und Resilienz beeinflusst werden oder nicht. Zweihundertvierundvierzig Studenten einer privaten Universität nahmen an der Studie teil. Die überarbeitete Schutte-Skala zur emotionalen Intelligenz, das Inventar zur kognitiven Flexibilität und die Skala zur Resilienz wurden verwendet, um die prädiktive Rolle dieser Variablen auf die Fähigkeiten zur Karriereplanung (berufliche Anpassungsfähigkeit, Karriereoptimismus und wahrgenommenes Wissen über den Arbeitsmarkt), die mit dem Career Futures Inventory gemessen wurden, herauszufinden. Die multivariate Regressionsanalyse zeigte, dass die emotionale Intelligenz, die kognitive Flexibilität und die Resilienz die entscheidenden Prädiktoren für die Karriereplanung türkischer Jugendlicher sind. Die Ergebnisse sind für türkische Berufsberater wichtig, um zu überlegen, wie die berufliche Entwicklung türkischer Studierender durch die Konzentration auf diese Ressourcen gefördert werden kann.
Resumen
Tener actitudes eficaces de planificación de la carrera es un recurso psicológico importante para hacer frente a las cargas laborales, los conflictos imprevistos y las ambivalencias en el ámbito empresarial. El objetivo principal del estudio era revelar si las actitudes de planificación de la carrera de los estudiantes universitarios turcos estaban condicionadas por sus rasgos de inteligencia emocional, flexibilidad cognitiva y niveles de resiliencia, o no. En el estudio participaron 244 estudiantes universitarios de una universidad privada. Se utilizaron la Escala de Inteligencia Emocional de Schutte revisada, el Inventario de Flexibilidad Cognitiva y la Escala de Resiliencia para averiguar el papel predictivo de estas variables sobre las habilidades de construcción de la carrera (adaptabilidad de la carrera, optimismo de la carrera y conocimiento percibido sobre el mercado de trabajo) medidas por el Inventario de Futuros de la Carrera. El análisis de regresión multivariante mostró que los rasgos de inteligencia emocional, flexibilidad cognitiva y resiliencia eran predictores fundamentales de las habilidades de construcción de carrera de los jóvenes turcos. Los resultados son esenciales para que los orientadores profesionales turcos consideren cómo se puede facilitar el desarrollo profesional de los estudiantes turcos centrándose en estos recursos.
