Abstract

This investigation examined the effects of sex-role identity on career decision-making self-efficacy, expanding theoretical premises of self-efficacy to include career behaviors and preferred career outcomes. For androgynous and undifferentiated persons, sex-role identity was related to levels of career decision-making self-efficacy, the number of career exploration behaviors completed, and the valuation of particular outcomes in which rewards are contingent on workers′ abilities. For masculine and feminine persons, the results suggest sex-typing may influence the type of career activities undertaken and the valuation of particular career outcomes. Implications for future research and career guidance are discussed.
