Lise Öğrencilerinin Kariyer Uyum Yeteneklerini Yordamada Kişilik Özellikleri ve Umudun Rolünün İncelenmesi

Öz

Bu araştırmanın amacı lise öğrencilerinin kariyer uyum yeteneklerini yordamada kişilik özellikleri ve umudun rolünü incelemektir. Araştırmanın çalışma grubu 2020-2021 eğitim öğretim yılının 2. döneminde İstanbul ilinin orta gelişmişlik seviyesindeki bir ilçesinde yer alan farklı türdeki liselerde öğrenimine devam eden 1002 (631 kız, 371 erkek) öğrenciden oluşmuştur. Bu çalışmada Kariyer Uyum Yetenekleri Ölçeği, Beş Faktör Kişilik Envanteri, Umut Ölçeği ve Kişisel Bilgi Formu kullanılmıştır. Korelasyonel araştırma modeli ile yürütülen araştırmada bağımsız örneklemler t testi, tek yönlü varyans analizi (ANOVA) ve hiyerarşik regresyon analizi kullanılmıştır. Bulgular, öğrencilerin kariyer uyum yeteneklerinin cinsiyete göre istatistiksel açıdan anlamlı bir şekilde farklılaşmadığını, ancak sınıf düzeyine göre anlamlı bir farklılık gösterdiğini ortaya koymuştur. Araştırmanın sonucuna göre umut ve kişilik özelliklerinin (sorumluluk, deneyime açıklık, dışa dönüklük ve duygusal denge) birlikte kariyer uyum yeteneklerini anlamlı bir biçimde yordadığı tespit edilmiştir. Bununla birlikte kariyer uyum yeteneklerinin en önemli yordayıcısının ise umut olduğu belirlenmiştir. Ulaşılan sonuçlar ilgili alan yazın doğrultusunda tartışılarak öneriler sunulmuştur.

Examining the Role of Personality Traits and Hope in Predicting High School Students' Career Adapt-Abilities

Öz

The purpose of this study is to examine the roles of personality traits, and hope in predicting career adapt-abilities among high school students. The study group consisted of 1,002 students (631 female, 371 male) attending different types of high schools in a district with a medium level of development in Istanbul during the second semester of the 2020–2021 academic year. The Career Adapt-Abilities Scale, the Big Five Inventory, the Hope Scale, and a Personal Information Form were used in this study. The research, conducted using a correlational research model, utilized independent samples t-test, one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA), and hierarchical regression analysis. The findings indicated that students’ career adapt-abilities did not differ by gender, but showed a significant difference according to grade level. The results of the study revealed that hope and personality traits (conscientiousness, openness to experience, extraversion, and neuroticism) together significantly predict career adapt-abilities. However, hope was determined to be the most important predictor of career adapt-abilities. The findings were discussed in line with the relevant literature, and recommendations were made.
