ABSTRACT

Educational experiences include coursework and career development activities offered by the educational institution, which contribute to students’ self-efficacy. In an academic discipline such as hospitality and tourism, students frequently get practical work experience(s) to build up their self-efficacy. This study surveyed hospitality students to examine the mediation role of the five sub-factors of career decision-making self-efficacy in the relationship between work experience and career expectations. All five sub-factors of self-efficacy are significant and positive mediators of the relationship between work experience and career expectations. The mediation results provide possibilities for hospitality educators to combine the work or internship experiences with assignments or exercises to help students build their self-efficacy and better understand the interrelationship of the two. An example assignment is comparing and contrasting what is learned in the classroom with a work or internship experience.

摘要

教育经历包括教育机构提供的课程作业和职业发展活动，这有助于提高学生的自我效能。在酒店和旅游等学科中，学生经常获得实际工作经验来增强自我效能。本研究对酒店管理专业的学生进行了调查，探讨职业决策自我效能的五个子因素在工作经验和职业期望之间的中介作用。自我效能的所有五个子因素都是工作经验和职业期望之间关系的重要且积极的中介因素。调解结果为酒店教育工作者提供了将工作或实习经验与作业或练习结合起来的可能性，以帮助学生建立自我效能并更好地理解两者之间的相互关系。一个示例作业是将课堂上学到的内容与工作或实习经历进行比较和对比。
