ABSTRACT
Objective: To explore the influence of social support on Chinese farmers’ career choice consideration. Methods: Based on depth interviews and the pre-test on 419 farmers, a questionnaire of self-efficacy, choice consideration and social support related to occupations representing Holland's six RIASEC career types was developed. With a formal sample of 628 farmers, and by the structural equation modeling, the hypothetic models were constructed and tested. Results: Across most of the career types, there were significant paths between positive support and self-efficacy, self-efficacy and choice consideration, negative support and choice consideration; the goodness of fit of the final models were perfect. Self-efficacy fully mediated the relationship between positive support and choice consideration. Conclusion: The influence of social support on farmers' career consideration is ambilateral. Positive support has fully positive effect on choice consideration via self-efficacy, whereas negative support has direct negative effect on it.
