The present study is aimed at exploring the links between academic self-efficacy, career decision-making self-efficacy, and academic major satisfaction, with career optimism as the mediator. The hypotheses based on this aim were tested on the data collected from a sample consisting of 411 senior engineering undergraduates attending a prestigious public university in Turkey. The results of structural equation modeling analyses indicate that career optimism mediates the relationship between academic self-efficacy and academic major satisfaction. Additionally, career optimism was found to have a mediating effect in the relationship between career decision-making self-efficacy and academic major satisfaction. Implications for theory and practice are presented.

本研究旨在探讨学术自我效能、职业决策自我效能和学术专业满意度之间的联系，以职业乐观作为中介。基于这一目标的假设在从土耳其一所著名公立大学就读的 411 名高级工程本科生组成的样本中收集的数据进行了测试。结构方程模型分析结果表明，职业乐观在学业自我效能感与学业专业满意度之间起中介作用。此外，发现职业乐观在职业决策自我效能感和学术专业满意度之间的关系中具有中介作用。提出了对理论和实践的启示。
