Abstract
In the article the concepts of self-efficacy and the career self-efficacy are described. The authors describe the structural components and the sources of the career self-efficacy, perceived as the person’s ability to organize and carry out the actions necessary for the career realization. The author presents the results of research of the dynamics of career self-efficacy of the students during their studies at the higher education institution. On the basis of this research, there are described the features of the career self-efficacy of students of various years of studying. For example, the graduates, compared with freshmen, are more confident that they will be able to find information about the specifics of the companies, to carry out monitoring of the labor market and wages in their chosen profession. The graduates are increasingly anxious due to the drastic change in the social roles “student – expert.” Similar to the first-year students, the graduates underestimate such sources of career self-efficacy as indirect learning, verbal suggestion and positive emotional state.
