The relationship between perception of social support and career motivation

Abstract

The study was conducted to assess the correlation between students’ career motivation and social support perceptions. Career motivation and social support perceptions are two important factors that affect students achievement of their objectives. Increasing social support perceptions plays a key role in their career development. This descriptive and correlational study was performed with 1,098 students at one centre. The data were collected using perceived social support and career motivation scales. To assess the data, percentages, mean analyses, Cronbach’s alpha, and correlations were used. Students perceived high levels of social support and had high levels of career motivation. Perceived support from family and friends affected social support perceptions most. In addition, students who graduated from medical vocational high schools had more career motivation. Most of the students willingly preferred this type of education (medical vocational high school) and demonstrated higher scores in social support perception and career motivation. This study may identify how much students career motivation is influenced by social support perceptions. Thus, deductions on the roots of problems related to career motivation can be explored. In addition, insight into how deficiencies of perceived social support can modify students’ career development can be defined.
