This study investigated how people's beliefs regarding their vocational abilities (i.e., career decision self-efficacy) are associated with their perceived academic control, self-liking, and self-competence. It also assessed the relevance of these 4 types of self-beliefs for personal job optimism among 268 Croatian college students. Results indicated that participants' career decision self-efficacy and perceptions of their chances of finding jobs nationwide were significant predictors of personal job optimism. Furthermore, the influences of self-competence and perceived academic control on personal job optimism were mediated by career decision self-efficacy. These results extend previous research and may be informative for vocational guidance interventions.

自我评价与学生职业乐观的相关性

本研究调查了人们对其职业能力（即职业决策自我效能）的信念与他们感知到的学业控制、自我喜好和自我能力之间的关系。它还评估了这 4 种类型的自我信念与 268 名克罗地亚大学生的个人工作乐观的相关性。结果表明，参与者的职业决策自我效能感和对他们在全国范围内找到工作机会的看法是个人工作乐观的重要预测因素。此外，自我能力和知觉学业控制对个人工作乐观的影响受职业决策自我效能感的调节。这些结果扩展了先前的研究，可能为职业指导干预提供信息。
