Özet

The university years are when individuals evaluate their qualifications, make choices about their careers, and develop the adaptation process and skills they may need for the careers that they may choose. In this context, individuals’ competencies and abilities in various fields play an essential role. Four hundred nine university students (304 female, 105 male) participated in this study. This research explains the theoretical model that the variables of general self-efficacy, and career adaptability affect the hope through structural equation modeling (SEM). The findings of general self-efficacy and career adaptability explain hope by 85%. In addition, career adaptability has a mediating role in the relationship between general self-efficacy and hope. These results are thought to be essential for the guidance services to be implemented at the university level.
