The Influence of Personal Growth Initiative and Coping Styles on Career Exploration and Vocational Identity.

Robitschek, Christine; Cook, Stephen W.

Journal of Vocational Behavior, v54 n1 p127-41 Feb 1999

Harren's (1979) model of career decision making was tested with 107 female and 98 male college students. Path analysis revealed that personal growth initiative predicted environmental exploration and vocational identity. Coping style predicted self-exploration. The model was a better fit for women than for men. (SK)
