碩士 === 國立東華大學 === 教育與潛能開發學系 === 107 === The purpose of this study is to explore the relative impacts among vocational and senior high school students' future time perspective, career self-efficacy and career decision, and verify the mediating effect of career self-efficacy in the future time perspective and career decision. In this study, according to the education statistics of the 106th academic year, 745,460 high school students were used as the population. Based on the proportion of 11.5:6:6.8:1 in the North, Central, South and East of Taiwan, participants were randomly selected from each district, and the total of 801 students were summed up to test the validity of Scale of Future Time Perspective, Scale of Career Self-efficacy, and Scale of Career Decision. Applying the descriptive statistics, Pearson product-moment correlation analysis, one-way MANOVA, Independent Samples t-test, multiple regression analysis, hierarchical regression analysis and other statistical methods for data analysis formally test the stratified random sampling of 1,967 students. The main findings of the research are as follows: 1. High school students’ future time perspective, career self-efficacy and career decision are all above average. 2. High school students with different background variables have significant differences in the future time perspective. (1) Girls’ performance in "perceived instrumentality" is higher than boys. (2) High school students have higher performances in "connectedness" and "value" than vocational high school students, while vocational high school students have higher performance than high school students in "perceived instrumentality". (3) The performance of the third grade in "connectedness" and "affectivity" are higher than the second grade. The performance of the first grade in "perceived instrumentality" is significantly higher than the second and third grades. 3. High school students with different background variables have significant differences in career self-efficacy. (1) Boys' performance on "the intensity of confidence" and "generalizability" is higher than girls. (2) High school students have higher performances in "the consciousness of difficulty" than vocational high school students. (3) The performance of the third grade on "the intensity of confidence" is higher than the second grade. 4. High school students with different background variables have significant differences in career decision. (1) Girls’ performance in "anxiety and hesitation" is higher than the male students, while boys’ performance in "decision timing" is higher than the female students. (2) The "external obstacles" faced by high school students are significantly higher than those of vocational school students, while the vocational school students are significantly higher in "decision timing" than high school students.. (3) In the second and third grades, the performance of "lack of personal knowledge", "anxiety and hesitation" and "external obstacles" are significantly higher than the first grade, while the performance of "decision timing" in the second grade is significantly higher than the first grade. 5. There is a significant positive correlation between future time perspective and career self-efficacy; there is a significant negative correlation between career self-efficacy and career decision; there is a significant negative correlation between future time perspective and career decision. 6. Career self-efficacy has a mediating effect between future time perspective and career decision. (1) Career self-efficacy has partial mediating effects between the future time perspective and "anxiety and hesitation". (2) Career self-efficacy has partial mediating effects between the future time perspective and "lack of personal knowledge". (3) Career self-efficacy has partial mediating effects between the future time perspective and "lack of educational and professional knowledge". (4) Career self-efficacy has full and partial mediating effects between the future time perspective and "decision timing". (5) Career self-efficacy has full and partial mediating effects between the future time perspective and "external obstacles".
