This thesis aims to present the construction, psychometric standardization and utilization of four (4) new psychometric tools in the field of Career Counseling: a) Career Interests b) Work Values c) Self-Assessment of Characteristics & Skills and d) Self-Efficacy & Career Decisions. The theoretical foundation of the tools is based on a critical review of career development theories, while also exploring other factors, such as the decisive role of parental influences and the contribution of soft skills to the professional development of the individual. The research was conducted on a sample of 516 (N=516) Greek-speaking Secondary Education students. The statistical analysis included internal consistency reliability testing, content validity, factor analysis, as well as multiple regression to investigate the predictive relationships between the variables. The main findings of the Career Interests of the students are dominated by Health Sciences, Education Sciences and Law, confirming the ...
This thesis aims to present the construction, psychometric standardization and utilization of four (4) new psychometric tools in the field of Career Counseling: a) Career Interests b) Work Values c) Self-Assessment of Characteristics & Skills and d) Self-Efficacy & Career Decisions. The theoretical foundation of the tools is based on a critical review of career development theories, while also exploring other factors, such as the decisive role of parental influences and the contribution of soft skills to the professional development of the individual. The research was conducted on a sample of 516 (N=516) Greek-speaking Secondary Education students. The statistical analysis included internal consistency reliability testing, content validity, factor analysis, as well as multiple regression to investigate the predictive relationships between the variables. The main findings of the Career Interests of the students are dominated by Health Sciences, Education Sciences and Law, confirming the preference for high-prestige and stable disciplines. On the contrary, agricultural and humanitarian professions have a low impact. In the Work Values, primary importance is given to Achievement, Working Conditions and Autonomy, followed by Altruism and Security. Regarding the psychometric tools of Self Assessment and Self-Efficacy, the results show that information and family support, although very important, are not sufficient on their own to eliminate the hesitation of the students. Although students feel capable of collecting data, the final decision remains a complex process that can lead to a state of waiting and/or ambivalence. However, indecision is not a generalized characteristic of the sample, but a localized difficulty that concerns a specific group of students. In conclusion, the thesis demonstrates that making a professional decision is a multidimensional process, where the transition to an autonomous career presupposes the functional interconnection of standardized psychometric tools with personalized counseling interventions, harmonized with the modern demands of the labor market.
