Abstract
This study investigated the relationship between occupational engagement, vocational identity, intuitive decision-making style, and academic major satisfaction of undergraduate students enrolled at a state university. The 163 college students were majority male (n = 114), first-years (n =73), and Hispanic/Latino (n = 53) with a mean age of 19. Results indicated significant positive relationships between Occupational Engagement and Vocational Identity and between Vocational Identity and Academic Major Satisfaction. Results of regression analysis showed that Vocational Identity fully mediated the relationship between Occupational Engagement and Academic Major Satisfaction. Future research directions, alternative explanations and limitations were discussed.
