Abstract
This study involved the examination of relationships among behavior-do main-specific measures of career self-efficacy and measures of general ized self-efficacy and global self-esteem. Correlations of domain-spec ific measures were higher with generalized self-efficacy than with glo bal self-esteem and were higher, in some cases significantly so, for m ale than for female students. The domains most strongly correlated wit h generalized self-efficacy were career decision-making self-efficacy in both sexes and several of the Holland (1973, 1985) theme self-effic acy measures in men.
