We investigated the relationships between decision‐making styles, career decision self‐efficacy, and career adaptability among high school students. We also sought to determine whether gender moderates the relationships among these three constructs. A total of 216 Serbian final‐year high school students responded to career adaptability and decision‐making measures. Results of structural equation modeling showed that career decision self‐efficacy mediates a positive relationship between the rational and intuitive styles and a negative relationship between the dependent style and career adaptability. The rational style only had a direct effect on career adaptability. Gender moderated one path—a regression weight of self‐efficacy on career adaptability. For male students, self‐efficacy was not a significant predictor of career adaptability. The results suggest that career counselors might approach students differently depending on students' gender and that the role of gender in career decision‐making and adaptability processes should be investigated further.

高中生的决策风格，职业决策自我效能和职业适应性

我们调查了高中学生的决策风格，职业决策自我效能和职业适应性之间的关系。我们还试图确定性别是否缓和了这三种结构之间的关系。共有216名塞尔维亚期末高中学生对职业适应性和决策措施做出了回应。结构方程建模的结果表明，职业决策自我效能介导了理性和直觉风格之间的正向关系，以及从属风格与职业适应性之间的负向关系。理性的风格只会直接影响职业适应能力。性别控制了一条道路，即自我效能对职业适应能力的回归权重。对于男学生来说，自我效能感并不是职业适应能力的重要预测指标。
