Abstract

Purpose: This research aimed to verify the effect of contextual career barriers’ perceptions on functional coping strategies, through self-efficacy in higher education and emotional social support, among undergraduate students given the crisis scenario in labor markets. The theoretical foundation was based on the self-management model of the Cognitive Social Career Theory. Methodology: Participants were 163 business undergraduate students from institutions in the southeast region of Brazil. A survey was conducted and the analysis procedures included descriptive statistics, factor analysis and conditional mediation processes. Main results: The main results revealed that analyzed contextual influences impact functional coping strategies in different ways. Barriers impacted only indirectly, and social support impacted directly. Academic contributions: It was found that self-efficacy did not mediate the relationship between barriers and functional coping. Emotional social support played a mediating role in the relationship and was a predictor of self-efficacy in the serial mediation model. Practical contributions: When considering the scenario of challenges of the university transition to the world of work, it is highlighted the importance of social support for actions to functionally confront barriers. It is concluded that facing contextual barriers should not be managed solely in the individual's own action, and social support improves career self-management by undergraduate students.
