Summarizing, the present research shows that socio-cognitive reasoning can be well applied to career-success research.
Since self-efficacy beliefs and personal occupational goals are malleable individual differences these variables are also good

Regarding career-advancement goals, however, the distinction between more objective and more subjective career success
should be considered since highly ambitious goals in the realm of career advancement might have both desired and undesired
effects.
