Abstract

Profesionalna zrelost definira se kao spremnost pojedinca da donese odluku o karijeri. Cilj ovog istraživanja bio je ispitati kako su karakteristike osobe i okolinski faktori povezani s profesionalnom zrelosti srednjoškolaca. U anonimnoj online anketi sudjelovalo je 168 učenika i učenica koji pohađaju četvrti razred gimnazije ili strukovne škole u Hrvatskoj. Karakteristike osobe koje smo istraživali su spol, školski uspjeh, osobine ličnosti i interesi. Rezultati su pokazali da su učenice profesionalno zrelije od učenika te da su školski uspjeh i osobine ličnosti (savjesnost, ugodnost, neuroticizam i otvorenost k iskustvu) pozitivno povezani s profesionalnom zrelosti, a interesi neznačajno. Okolinski faktori koje smo uključili su roditeljska ponašanja (podrška, uplitanje i nedostatak roditeljske uključenosti) te podrška školskog sustava (stručne službe ili razrednika/ice). Profesionalna zrelost bila je pozitivno povezana s podskalom roditeljske podrške te negativno s podskalama uplitanja roditelja i nedostatka roditeljske uključenosti. Dobivena je pozitivna korelacija percipirane podrške stručne službe i profesionalne zrelosti, a neznačajna za percipiranu podršku razrednika/ice. Hijerarhijski model karakteristika osobe i okolinskih faktora značajan je u predviđanju profesionalne zrelosti srednjoškolaca. Okolinski faktori objašnjavaju 9% varijance profesionalne zrelosti povrh karakteristika osobe.

Abstract (english)

Career maturity is defined as an individual's readiness to make a career decision. The aim of this study is to examine how personal characteristics and environmental factors are connected to the career maturity of high school students. 168 male and female students attending the fourth grade of a gymnasium or vocational school in Croatia participated in an anonymous online survey. The personal characteristics we studied were gender, grade point average (GPA), personality traits and interests. The results showed that female students are more professionally mature than male students and that GPA and personality traits (conscientiousness, agreeableness, neuroticism and openness to experience) were positively correlated with career maturity, but interests weren't. The environmental factors we included were parental behaviors (support, interference and lack of parental involvement) and school system support (a professional service or a headroom teacher). Career maturity was positively correlated with the subscale of parental support but negatively correlated with the subscales of parental interference and lack of parental involvement. The correlation between perceived support of the professional service and career maturity was low, while insignificant with the perceived headroom teacher's support. Hierarchical model of personal characteristics and environmental factors is significant in predicting the career maturity of high school students. Environmental factors explain 9% of variance of professional maturity over and above personal characteristics.
