Proactivity, Sociability, and Career Resilience as Predictors of Career Exploration

Abstract

This study examines the influence of proactivity, sociability, and career resilience on career exploration. Using a correlational research design, 516 MBA final-year graduates studying in private colleges and universities in Hyderabad were selected through simple random sampling. Pearson’s correlation, independent samples t-test, and multiple regression analysis have been employed using SPSS version 21 to analyze the data. The findings of the study indicate that all the variables have shown a significant positive relationship with each other and proactivity, sociability, and career resilience significantly impact career exploration. Significant gender differences were found in proactivity, sociability, and career resilience, where males scored higher than females in all three measures. This study also entails an analysis of the results, limitations, and suggestions for future research.
