Abstract

This research aims at establishing how best self-efficacy and proactive behavior affect the career management of managerial successors. Self-efficacy, meta-cognition, attribution, and optimism are four of the psychological traits that the research targets in relation to career planning and management. Questionnaires of self-assessed skills were filled in by MBA students, and then the level of their active actions in the sphere of career management was evaluated. Coceedings of the research indicate that self efficacy and proactive behavior are two variables that could substantially predict career management success. The results also suggest that these lessons should be reinforced in education so students can be ready for their future career paths. This research adds value to the literature by offering quantitative data together with self-efficacy and proactive behavior to yield an impact toward career management.
