dc.description.abstractThe purpose of this study was to determine the level of vocational identity and career decision status of students at the Hashemite University which was assumed to be an indication of their readiness for the national workforce in Jordan. A total of 641 students participated in the study by completing the ‘Vocational Identity Scale’ (VIS) and the ‘Career Decision Scale’ (CDS) selected for the study. The results indicated that students have a high sense of vocational identity and greater career decidedness as represented by their overall mean values. Furthermore, there were no significant differences among university students in perceiving the VIS and CDS that are attributed to their gender and academic standing. However, differences on the VIS and CDS were found that are attributed to type of faculty. The study concludes by offering a number of theoretical and practical implications for the field of career and vocational development.en_GB
