Özet

© The Author(s) 2022.The aim of this study was to determine the role of university students’ problem-solving skills in their career decision-making self-efficacy and vocational outcome expectations (VOE). The research study group comprised 327 female (70.6%) and 136 male (29.4%) students; a total of 463. Statistical analysis showed positive significant correlations between problem-solving points, career decision-making self-efficacy, and VOE. Additionally, problem-solving points explained 25% of variability in career decision-making self-efficacy and 17% of variation in VOE. The results were interpreted in comparison with literature findings and recommendations proposed for applications and similar research to be completed in the future.
