Impact of Career Indecision on University Student's Academic Engagement: Mediating role of Hope

Abstract

Using a sample of 185 undergraduates, we studied how career indecisiveness could affect the academic engagement level of the students. Accordingly, results showed that the academic engagement of undergraduate students is influenced by the student’s hope for academic success and the contingent effect of academic success on career development and overall life success. In this milieu, career decisiveness plays an important role in increasing academic engagement of university students. Univeirsties must start career guidance programme from the entry point it self and develop clear career goals in students’mind.
