Abstract:

 This study aimed to reveal the relationships between personality traits and career development needs of university students studying in the fields of Science, Technology, Mathematics and Engineering STEM. For this purpose, data were collected from 429 students through the Adjective-Based Personality Scale and the Career Development Needs Survey. Multiple regression and stepwise regression analyzes were used for analyses. It is seen that this group has the most career development needs for career planning KP and the least for self-knowledge KT. Regression analysis results show that the STEM career needs of STEM students are 24 in the personality dimensions of extraversion, emotional balance, responsibility and openness to experiences, and the career development need for exploring job and educational opportunities is 24 in terms of responsibility, It shows that the personality dimensions of emotional balance and extraversion predict the need for KP career development at a level of 18, and the personality traits of responsibility, emotional balance, agreeableness and extraversion predict the need for career development at a level of 32. At the end of the research, based on the findings, suggestions were made about what can be done for career psychological counseling for students in this group.

 Bu çalışmada, Fen, Teknoloji, Matematik ve Mühendislik FeTeMM alanlarında eğitim gören üniversite öğrencilerinin kişilik özellikleri ve kariyer gelişim ihtiyaçları arasındaki ilişkilerini ortaya koymak amaçlamıştır. Bu amaçla veriler, 429 öğrenciden Sıfatlara Dayalı Kişilik Ölçeği ile Kariyer Gelişim İhtiyaçları Anketi aracılığı ile toplanmıştır. Analizler için çoklu regresyon ve aşamalı stepwise regresyon analizlerinden yararlanılmıştır. Bu grubun en fazla kariyer planlama KP, en az kendini tanıma KT konusunda kariyer gelişim ihtiyacı olduğu görülmektedir. Regresyon analizleri sonuçları FeTeMM öğrencilerinin KT kariyer ihtiyacını dışadönüklük, duygusal denge, sorumluluk ve deneyimlere açıklık kişilik boyutları 24, iş ve eğitim olanaklarını keşife yönelik kariyer gelişim ihtiyacını sorumluluk, duygusal denge ve dışadönüklük kişilik boyutları 18 düzeyinde ve KP kariyer gelişim ihtiyacını ise sorumluluk, duygusal denge, uyumluluk ve dışadönüklük kişilik özelliklerinin 32 düzeyinde yordadığını göstermektedir. Araştırmanın sonunda bulgulara dayanarak bu gruptaki öğrenciler için kariyer psikolojik danışmanlığı adına neler yapılabileceğine ilişkin öneriler sunulmuştur.
