Ayrılık Kaygısı ile Kariyer Uyumu Arasındaki İlişkide Duygu Düzenleme Güçlüğü ve Kariyer Kararı Öz Yeterliğinin Aracı Rolü

Abstract

Bu çalışmada ebeveynden ayrılık kaygısı ile kariyer uyum yetenekleri, kariyer kararı öz yetkinliği ve duygu düzenleme güçlüğü arasındaki yapısal ilişkilerin incelenmesi amaçlanmıştır. Araştırmanın örneklemini yaşları 17 ile 29 arasında değişen 687’si kadın (%70,5) ve 287’si erkek (%29,5) olmak üzere toplam 976 üniversite öğrencisi oluşturmaktadır. Katılımcılar incelenen değişkenler ile ilgili öz bildirim ölçümlerini tamamlamışlardır. İncelenen değişkenler arasındaki karmaşık ilişkileri keşfetmek için yapısal eşitlik modellemesi yapılmıştır. Çalışma bulgularına göre ayrılık kaygısı ile kariyer uyum yetenekleri ve kariyer kararı öz yetkinliği arasında anlamlı düzeyde bir ilişki bulunmamaktadır. Ayrıca ayrılık kaygısı ile duygu düzenleme güçlüğü ve kariyer uyum yetenekleri ile kariyer kararı öz yetkinliği arasında pozitif yönlü anlamlı bir ilişki vardır. Bunun yanı sıra duygu düzenleme güçlüğü ile hem kariyer uyum yetenekleri hem de kariyer kararı öz yetkinliği arasında negatif yönlü anlamlı bir ilişki vardır. Ayrıca ayrılık anksiyetesi ile kariyer uyum yetenekleri arasındaki ilişkiye hem duygu düzenleme güçlüğü tek başına hem de duygu düzenleme güçlüğü ve kariyer kararı öz yeterliği birlikte aracılık etmektedir.

The Mediating Role of Emotion Regulation Difficulty and Career Decision Self-Efficacy in the Relationship Between Separation Anxiety and Career Adjustment

Abstract

The aim of this study was to examine the structural relationships between separation anxiety and career adaptability, career decision-making self-efficacy, and emotion regulation difficulties. The sample of the study consisted of 976 university students, 687 female (70.5%) and 287 male (29.5%), aged between 17 and 29 years. Participants completed self-report measures of the variables studied. Structural equation modelling was used to explore the complex relationships between these variables. According to the results of the study, there is no significant relationship between separation anxiety and career adaptability and career decision-making self-efficacy. In addition, there is a significant positive relationship between separation anxiety and emotion dysregulation and between career adaptability and career decision-making self-efficacy. There is also a significant negative relationship between emotion dysregulation and both career adaptability and career decision-making self-efficacy. In addition, the relationship between separation anxiety and career adjustment is mediated by emotion dysregulation alone and by emotion dysregulation and career decision-making self-efficacy together.
