Özet: Bu çalışma, üniversite öğrencilerine yönelik geliştirilen kariyer yapılandırma kuramına dayalı psikoeğitim programının, güçlü yönler öz yeterlik ve kariyer kararı üzerindeki etkisini incelemeyi amaçlamaktadır. Araştırmada 2x3’lük, öntest, sontest ve izleme testinden oluşan yarı deneysel desen kullanılmıştır. Çalışma grubu, 16’sı deney ve 16’sı kontrol grubunda yer alan toplam 32 gönüllü lisans 3. Sınıf öğrencisinden oluşmaktadır. Deney grubuna, araştırmacı tarafından hazırlanan sekiz oturum ve altı atölye çalışmasından oluşan psikoeğitim programı uygulanmıştır. Kontrol grubuna herhangi bir müdahalede bulunulmamıştır. Veri toplama aracı olarak, “Güçlü Yönler Öz Yeterlik Ölçeği” ile “Kariyer Karar Ölçeği” kullanılmıştır. Verilerin analizinde, tekrarlı ölçümler için çift yönlü ANOVA, Mann-Whitney U ve Wilcoxon işaretli sıralar testinden yararlanılmıştır. Bulgular, psikoeğitim programının deney grubundaki öğrencilerin güçlü yönler öz yeterlik düzeylerini artırdığını ve kariyer kararsızlığını azalttığını göstermiştir. Ayrıca, izleme testinde bu etkinin sürdüğü saptanmıştır. Bu sonuçlara göre kariyer yapılandırma kuramına dayalı psikoeğitim programın üniversite öğrencilerinin güçlü yönler öz yeterlik ve kariyer kararı düzeylerini artırma konusunda etkili olduğu söylenebilir.

This study aims to examine the effects of a psychoeducational program based on Career Construction Theory on strengths self-efficacy and career decision levels among university students. A quasi-experimental 2x3 design, including pretest, posttest, and follow-up measurements, was employed. The study group consisted of 32 voluntary third-year undergraduate students, with 16 assigned to the experimental group and 16 to the control group. The experimental group received a psychoeducational program developed by the researcher, consisting of eight sessions and six workshops. No intervention was administered to the control group. The “Strengths Self-Efficacy Scale” and the “Career Decision Scale” were used as data collection instruments. Data were analyzed using two-way repeated measures ANOVA, Mann-Whitney U, and Wilcoxon signed-rank tests. The findings indicated that the psychoeducational program increased the strengths self-efficacy levels of the students in the experimental group and reduced their career indecision. Moreover, this effect was sustained at the follow-up test. Based on these results, it can be concluded that the psychoeducational program grounded in Career Construction Theory is effective in enhancing university students’ strengths-based self-efficacy and career decision levels.
