An extensive body of vocational research has been dedicated to the topic of careerdecision
making behavior. Work is integral to human functioning, and all psychologists
need to understand the role of work in people’s lives. Understanding factors influencing
work choices and helping individuals effectively make career decisions is the focus of
vocational psychologists. The external changes, such as shifts in the economy and labour
force, as well as initiatives within the field are challenging the assumptions within
vocational psychology. Under such circumstances, it becomes more important to study
career decisiveness and more importantly examine the process of career planning which
eventually leads to career decisiveness. So there is a need to assess attitudes,
expectations, and emotions about one’s career in the form of Career Future Inventory to
measure career choice or career decisiveness. Career decisiveness (CD) has been an
instrumental tool for vocational psychologists and a phenomenon of interest to parents,
faculty, school counsellors, and others who advise young adults on their career choices.
The current study shall investigate the antecedents and consequences of career
decisiveness using the Motivational Systems Theory (MST). The major rational of applying
MST is to understand career choice has its impetus both on the individual and contextual
factors.
