Self-esteem, occupational self-esteem, and epistemological beliefs of Turkish university student

The purpose of this research was to find out how students’ self-esteem, occupational self-esteem, and epistemological beliefs influence their occupational success. The results revealed that there was a significantly positive relationship between the students’ occupational self-esteem and self-esteem, as well as between occupational self-esteem and the lower values of the Epistemological Beliefs Scale (Schommer, 1990). A significant relationship was also found between the students’ self-esteem and occupational self-esteem (p < 0.05) according to the study program of the students.
