| contents | <p><span lang="EN-US">Career decision-making is one of the most significant challenges in a young person's life, often becoming a source of anxiety. Mindfulness can be considered a fundamental factor that significantly influences the characteristics of the career decision-making process. This study aims to investigate the relationship between mindfulness, career decision-making characteristics, and strategies for coping with career indecision. The dataset of this study are drawn from 172 participants, predominantly female, single, university graduates, and employed. The average age of the participants was 28 years, with an average total work experience of 6 years. Three questionnaires were used: the "Mindfulness Awareness Scale," the "Career Decision-Making Profile Questionnaire," and the "Strategies for Coping with Career Indecision" questionnaire. The analysis included descriptive statistics, Spearman correlations, and mediation analysis. The findings showed that mindfulness is positively correlated with the speed of making the final decision (rho=0.222, p<0.01), information gathering and processing (rho=0.330, p<0.01), internal locus of control (rho=0.201, p<0.01), pursuit of the ideal profession (rho=0.292, p<0.01), and negatively with the desire to please others-dependence (rho=-0.314, p<0.01). Additionally, mindfulness was positively correlated with productive coping strategies and negatively with unproductive strategies. Mediation models revealed that mindfulness is associated with productive and non productive coping strategies through problem solving, self-regulation and dependence on others for career decisions. Mindfulness can contribute positively to the career decision-making process and to coping with indecision. Individuals with high levels of mindfulness tend to make decisions faster, gather and process more information, have better control, greater engagement with the ideal profession, and a lower desire for career decisions that would please others. Mindfulness techniques can be incorporated into career counselling to enhance self-confidence and resilience when making career decisions.</span></p> |
