Bandura’s [9] social cognitive theory, stating that motivation isgoal-directed behavior. Behaviors are produced and sustained by the anticipated consequences ofone’s actions (outcome expectations; OEE), a person’s judgment of their ability to attain theirgoals (self-efficacy; SE), and their career-oriented interests [9], [10]. Pertinent to the career-oriented goals people set is the degree to which they feel their values are congruent with theirwork, which is an aspect of outcome expectations [11]. Further, the effect of outcomeexpectations on career-oriented goals is expected to be mediated by students’ career-relevantinterests.Figure 1.
