Most research applications of the social cognitive model of career self-management (CSM; Lent & Brown, 2013) to career exploration and decision-making have involved U.S. college students. To extend research on the model, we tested its fit to the data in a sample of 345 unemployed adult workers in Portugal. Participants completed measures of career decision self-efficacy, outcome expectations, social support, conscientiousness, neuroticism, exploration goals, decisional stress, and career choice certainty. The model test yielded good overall fit to the data and accounted for significant variance in goals, stress, and choice certainty. When compared with prior findings, the results suggest that the CSM model may offer explanatory utility relative to the making of initial as well as subsequent career decisions and across national boundaries. Implications of the findings for the social cognitive model as well as for future research and practice are considered. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2022 APA, all rights reserved).

失业葡萄牙成年人的职业决策：职业自我管理的社会认知模型测试。

大多数将职业自我管理的社会认知模型 (CSM; Lent & Brown, 2013) 应用于职业探索和决策的研究都涉及美国大学生。为了扩展对该模型的研究，我们测试了它与葡萄牙 345 名失业成年工人样本数据的拟合度。参与者完成了职业决策自我效能、结果期望、社会支持、责任心、神经质、探索目标、决策压力和职业选择确定性的测量。模型测试对数据产生了良好的整体拟合，并解释了目标、压力和选择确定性的显着差异。与先前的研究结果相比，结果表明，CSM 模型可以提供与最初和随后的职业决策以及跨越国界相关的解释效用。考虑了这些发现对社会认知模型以及未来研究和实践的影响。（PsycInfo 数据库记录 (c) 2022 APA，保留所有权利）。
