The study focuses on the role of self-referent beliefs: self-efficacy, self-esteem, hope and optimism in the process of planning to work abroad among students. Seeking work abroad was described as the process of goal completion and explained with the help of goal theories. Initial phases of this process include evalua- tion of the goal, formation of intention to work abroad, and formulation of a plan. Data were collected from 196 Polish students, during the last year before graduation. Structural eąuation modeling showed that self- efficacy, self-esteem and hope play the most important role in the process of seeking work abroad.
The beliefs that people hold about themselves, their life and future are important and mutually related constituents of psychological functioning and well-being. In this paper, we investigated the relationship between positive orientation and generalized self-efficacy. The sample consisted of 672 participants aged 15-72 years (274 males). The results confirmed the first hypothesis that positive orientation and generalized self-efficacy constitute two distinct but correlated constructs. The results were confirmed across the three age groups and, contrary to the second hypothesis, age was not confirmed as a moderator of the relationship between positive orientation and self-efficacy.
