ABSTRACT
This study aimed at advancing the literature in the field of career indecision by enhancing the understanding of the association between career indecision and strategies for coping with career indecision. Based on an online survey given to 321 undergraduate students enrolled in hospitality courses, the results provided categories of difficulties and perceived effective strategies for coping with career indecision. Students had greater difficulty in the category Lack of readiness followed by Inconsistent information, and then Lack of information. Also, Productive coping strategies were perceived as most effective, followed by Support-seeking coping strategies and then Nonproductive coping strategies. Furthermore, some categories of difficulty and coping strategies were perceived differently by gender, decision status, perceived decisional difficulties, and decisional distress. Findings from this study have implications not only for future theoretical work on career indecision but also for career counseling regarding career indecision.
