Title
Hope, will, purpose, competence, and fidelity: ego strengths as predictors of career identity
Abstract
This correlational study examined the relationships among ego strengths and career identity. Self-report data were collected from a sample of university undergraduates (N = 239). Participants completed the Psychosocial Inventory of Ego Strengths and the Vocational Identity Status Assessment. The results revealed gender differences, primarily in career identity. The findings also showed that the unique variance explained in career identity by each ego strength was modest, indicating that the best predictor of career identity is the overall level of ego strengths. Suggestions for future research, such as longitudinal designs to establish ego strengths as developmental precursors of career identity, are provided. © 2014 Copyright Taylor & Francis Group, LLC.
