ABSTRACT

The growing rate of change in the world of work in­ creases the number of career transitions individuals make during their lifetime. The quality of the career decisions made during these transitions is significant for both the individual and society. Making a career decision is, how­ ever, a complex process. Although some people make such decisions easily, at least apparently, others face difficulties in making their career decisions, and many seek profes­ sional help. One of the central aims of career counseling is to facilitate the career decision-making process of counselees and, in particular, to help them overcome the difficulties they encounter during this process. Therefore, identifying the unique difficulties that prevent individuals from reach­ ing a decision is an essential step in providing them with the help they need.
