Career Self-efficacy among Lithuanian Adolescents in Sports Schools

This study focuses on career self-efficacy among Lithuanian adolescents in sports schools. In total, 224 basketball players participated: 116 aged 15–16 and 108 aged 17–18. It was found that there was a significant difference (p <0.05) in the sources of career self-efficacy between basketball players aged 17–18 and those aged 15–16, with the former being influenced to a greater extent by the following sources: vicarious experience, verbal persuasion, positive emotional arousal and accomplishment in performance. The comparison of career self-efficacy among those aged 15–16 and 17–18 showed that the former had a higher level of career self-efficacy.
