摘要

The career choices of undergraduate students are now facing many barriers, leading to unsuitable decisions. Revisiting Social Cognitive Career Theory; this research examines how differences in perceived social support drive the interplay between self-efficacy, outcome expectations, and career choice. Partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS–SEM) and multigroup analysis (MGA) analysis with 418 valid responses show that a higher perception of social support makes self-efficacy more critical to career choice than outcome expectations in the lower perception group. In addition, the relationship between self-efficacy and outcome expectations is not significantly different between the two groups. These findings contribute significantly to the existing literature.
