Özet

Bu çalışma, lisans öğrencilerinin eleştirel düşünme eğilimlerinin kariyer uyum yeteneklerine etkisinde özyeterliliğin aracı etkisini ölçmeyi amaçlamıştır. Araştırma nicel yöntem kapsamında ilişkisel tarama modeline göre yapılandırılmış ve veriler anket yöntemiyle elde edilmiştir. Kurulan aracılık modeli test edilirken Baron ve Kenny (1986) ile Preacher ve Hayes (2004) tarafından önerilen süreç ve prosedürler izlenmiştir. Bulgular, eleştirel düşünme eğiliminin kariyer uyum yeteneği ve öz-yeterlik üzerinde; öz-yeterliğin kariyer uyum yeteneği üzerinde istatistiksel olarak anlamlı bir etkiye sahip olduğunu ve eleştirel düşünme eğilimi ile kariyer uyum yeteneği arasındaki ilişkide ise öz-yeterliğin kısmi aracılık etkisinin olduğunu göstermiştir. Bu bulgular eleştirel düşünme becerisinin gelişmişliğinin bireylerin daha yüksek düzeyde kariyer uyum yeteneği sergilemelerini sağlayacağını aynı zamanda öz-yeterlilik algılarını da güçlendireceğini göstermektedir. Öz-yeterliliğin aracı rolü ise, eleştirel düşünebilen bireylerin kendilerine olan güvenlerinin artmasıyla birlikte kariyer süreçlerini daha bilinçli ve proaktif şekilde yönetebileceklerini göstermektedir.

Abstract

The aim of this study was to measure the mediating effect of self-efficacy on the impact of undergraduate students' critical thinking disposition on their career adaptability. The research was structured within the scope of the quantitative method using a relational screening model, and data were collected through a survey. While testing the established mediation model, the processes and procedures suggested by Baron and Kenny (1986) and Preacher and Hayes (2004) were followed. The findings revealed that critical thinking disposition has a statistically significant effect on both career adaptability and self-efficacy; self-efficacy also has a significant effect on career adaptability. Additionally, self-efficacy was found to have a partial mediating effect in the relationship between critical thinking disposition and career adaptability. These findings indicate that a higher level of critical thinking ability enables individuals to demonstrate greater career adaptability while also strengthening their perception of self-efficacy. The mediating role of self-efficacy further shows that individuals who can think critically gain confidence in themselves and are able to manage their career processes in a more conscious and proactive manner.
