Entrepreneurial university ecosystems and graduates' career patterns: do entrepreneurship education programmes and university business incubators matter?
PurposeThis paper provides insights about how graduates' career patterns (i.e. academic entrepreneur, self-employed or paid employed) are influenced by entrepreneurial university ecosystems (i.e. incubators and entrepreneurship education programs).Design/methodology/approachBy adopting Douglas and Shepherd's utility-maximising function, the influence of one entrepreneurial university ecosystem on graduates' career choices was tested using a sample of 11,512 graduates from the Monterrey Institute of Technology and Higher Education (ITESM) in Mexico.FindingsOur results show the critical role of entrepreneurial universities ecosystems in facilitating employability options as academic entrepreneurship for ITESM's graduates. The study shows some insights about how graduates' risk aversion and work effort are positively influenced by the university business incubator and entrepreneurship education programs, respectively.Practical implicationsDiverse implications for stakeholders have emerged from our results. These implications are associated with potential benefits of implementing programmes oriented to engage academic entrepreneurship within Latin American universities.Originality/valueEntrepreneurial universities provide a range of employability alternatives for their students, such as to be self-employed, academic entrepreneurs or paid employees. In this scenario, entrepreneurial universities have configured entrepreneurial ecosystems (educational programmes, business incubators and other infrastructures) to support potential entrepreneurs (students, academics, staff and alumni). Despite the relevance of the environmental conditions on individuals' occupational choices, few studies have explored the role of the entrepreneurial university ecosystems on graduates' employability. In this vein, our study contributes to some academic discussions: (1) the role of context on career choice models (Ilouga et al., 2014; Sieger and Monsen, 2015), (2) the role of incubators and entrepreneurship education on fostering academic entrepreneurship on the graduates' community (Nabi et al., 2017; Good et al., 2019; Guerrero and Urbano, 2019a) and (3) the effectiveness of the entrepreneurial university ecosystems on graduates' employability (Herrera et al., 2018; Wright et al., 2017).

Career adaptability and career choice satisfaction: Roles of career self‐efficacy and socioeconomic status
Based on career construction theory, this study examined the contribution of career adaptability to career choice satisfaction, with career decision‐making self‐efficacy as a mediator and socioeconomic status as a moderator. Nine hundred and fourteen Chinese final‐year undergraduates were recruited. The results revealed that career adaptability directly influenced career choice satisfaction and indirectly through career decision‐making self‐efficacy, with some specific differences based on socioeconomic status. Particularly, the cooperation dimension of career adaptability was found to be negatively related to career choice satisfaction only among undergraduates with higher socioeconomic status. The findings have implications for research on career construction theory as well as for career education and counseling practices in universities.

The effect of entrepreneurial education on career choice intentions of college students: a social cognitive career theory approach
PurposeThis study aims at addressing the impact of entrepreneurial education (EE) by highlighting career choice intentions (CCI) and entrepreneurial mindset (EM) as impact indicators, as well as unpacking the drivers and mediators in the formation of CCI among college students underpinned by social cognitive career theory (SCCT).Design/methodology/approachThe hypotheses were tested on a survey sample of 1,198 students from 15 higher education institutions in China. Multinomial logistic regression was used to compare the different effects of EE on CCI, which is a categorical variable with four types of options.FindingsThe results confirmed the effects of EE on entrepreneurial self-efficacy (ESE), entrepreneurial outcome expectations (EOE) and EM, as well as the heterogeneity of antecedent connections with students preferring one career choice to the others. The results also revealed the mediating role of ESE and EOE in the model.Research limitations/implicationsThe study implies that ESE and EM should be integrated into EE learning outcomes and educators should focus on multiple career choice intentions rather than just entrepreneurial intention for college students' sustainable development.Originality/valueThe research contributes to the literature by verifying CCI and EM as impact indicators of EE, to a nuanced understanding of the educational development of various options of career paths by comparing different career intentions in a mediating model and to the expansion of SCCT by integrating diverse factors in a coherent model within the context of higher education in China.

Emerging and young adulthood : multiple perspectives, diverse narratives
This data-rich volume offers new insights into the transitional period between adolescence and adulthood. It analyzes core concepts typically associated with adolescence, such as identity development, emerging sexuality, deepening relationships, and exploration of career choices as individuals age into their twenties and early thirties. Chapters examine the challenges of self-exploration, responsibilities, and independence as this generation approaches adulthood with deliberation in an uncertain world with vastly different perspectives from that of their parents. And in the tradition of its predecessor, the book's first-person excerpts emphasize and illuminate the diversity of the population and its stakeholders, including parents and employers. Each chapter is updated and revised to reflect the current literature that has evolved since the first edition was published. Additional chapters address two increasingly important areas of interest: the virtual life of the emerging and young adult; and the career-related challenges emerging and young adults encounter in their search for a vocational home. Rich additional narratives serve to elucidate the terrain emerging and young adults encounter as they begin to establish themselves in the world of work and social and romantic relationships. Key areas of coverage include: Identity formation in environmental context Culture: opening paths, creating detours The \"tyranny\" of choice: re-examining the prevailing narrative Examination of career paths for emerging and young adults Emotional and social lives of emerging and young adults Overlapping and disparate views of employers Mental health issues of emerging and young adults The Second Edition of Emerging and Young Adulthood is essential reading for researchers, clinicians, therapists and other professionals, and graduate students in developmental, school, and counseling psychology and related social and behavioral sciences.

What is the impact of the chief resident designation on career direction: a cross-sectional analysis of a US database over 15 years
Background
It is unclear whether recruitment into academia will keep pace with attrition. Examining the events and opportunities that occur in residency, including the Chief Resident (CR) opportunity, will add to the pre-existing understanding about the proximate step to academic career choice. We evaluated whether there is an association between CR and type of employment the following year. Given that minoritized communities are underrepresented in academics, we evaluated whether the association varies by race-ethnicity.
Methods
We performed a cross-sectional analysis using de-identified individual-level data from the Graduate Medical Education (GME) Track, a national database and tracking system, from 2005 to 2020. The GME Track pulls data from the National GME census and is managed by the Association of American Medical Colleges (AAMC) and the American Medical Association (AMA). Participants were residents in their final year of training. Exposure variable was CR status (y/n). Main outcome was intended employment type the following year (fellowship, academic, other, or private practice [referent]). Multinomial logistic regression was used to estimate the adjusted odds ratio (aOR) and 95% confidence intervals. We assessed, through interaction analyses, how intended employment varied by self-identified race-ethnicity.
Results
Among the study population (
N
= 450,598), 103,204 (22.9%) were CRs. CRs had increased odds of pursuing academics (1.04, 95% CI 1.01–1.06), but decreased odds of fellowship (0.76, 95% CI 0.75–0.78) or other careers (0.63, 95% CI 0.62–0.65) in comparison to private practice. Interaction analysis was significant (
p
< 0.0001). CRs who were Asian (1.13, 95% CI 1.07–1.19), Black (1.16, 95% CI 1.05–1.29), or multiracial (1.10, 95%CI 1.01–1.21), but not those who were Hispanic (0.94, 95% CI 0.83–1.08) or White (0.99, 95% CI 0.96–1.03) had increased odds of pursuing academics compared to non-CRs in those same race-ethnic categories.
Conclusions
CR was associated with the odds of initiating academic careers, which varied by race-ethnicity. The CR opportunity can be leveraged to diversify the pipeline into academic medicine.

Counseling trainees’ academic burnout, meaningful work, and career choice satisfaction: A resilience framework
This study focused on examining counseling trainees’ perceptions of meaningful work as a resilience factor against decreased career choice satisfaction, which is related to burnout experience. As a result of latent moderated structural equation modeling, academic burnout and meaningful work were significantly related to career choice satisfaction. Furthermore, meaningful work significantly buffered the negative relationship between academic burnout and career choice satisfaction. Our findings suggest that meaningful work plays both compensatory and protective roles against the negative effect of academic burnout on career choice satisfaction. We provided implications for counselor training and preparation.
