Abstract

The present study examined the career indecision of 397 managers and professionals in a large banking establishment. A measure of career indecision was developed, and a preliminary model of employee career indecision was tested. A factor analysis revealed seven potential sources of career indecision. Three antecedent variables (employee work/life experience, trait anxiety, and career management assistance) had direct and indirect effects on career indecision status. Potential outcomes of career indecision and its sources include negative work attitudes, high levels of life stress, and intentions to engage in future career exploration.
