| Abstract: This paper examined the relative efficacy of Donald Super's theory on Adolescence career choice in Lagos metropolis. To determine the influence of self concept on career choice and how applicable Donald Super's stand point on vocational choice is in Nigerian. One hundred and twenty Senior Secondary Two Students (SS11) were used as sample for the study. A vocational self concepts questionnaire was administered to measure students' vocational self concepts based on the two research hypothesis formulated. Analysis of data was done using one-way ANOVA to analyse the variation in vocational self-esteem of people in some type of career and those in another and between ideal and real occupational choice influences by vocational self esteem. The result of the analysis were as follows; (1) There is no significant difference in vocational self-esteem of people in one type of career and those in another. (2) There is no significant difference between real and ideal occupational self esteem. Based on the findings, the study concluded that Super's (1953) theory that vocational choice is an implementation of one's self concept is not applicable within Nigerian cultural setting. Hence it was recommended that avenues through which the individuals could be realistically helped to make vocational choice should be scout for. Suggestions were made to future research. |
