Özet

The concept of career is important for people who are or are likely to be in business life. The concept of career decidedness refers to the individual's commitment to his or her choice of career and his or her satisfaction with this choice. The aim of the study was to determine the career decidedness of college students in the field of sports sciences and to examine these decidedness according to different variables such as gender/sex, age, work experience and department. The research was carried out using quantitative research methods. A total of 633 students from Kastamonu University School of Education and Sports participated in the study (Turkey). The Career Decidedness Scale which consists of 6 items and one sub-dimension and adapted to Turkish by Akçakanat and Uzunbacak (2019) was use as the instrument tool. As a result it was determined that the career decidedness level of the participating students was moderate. In addition, it was found that the level of decidedness of male participants was higher than females. Also, a positive correlation was found between the participants' age and work experience parameter and career decidedness.
