Abstract

Srednje strukovne škole obrazuju učenike za konkretna zanimanja uz malu mogućnost
horizontalne mobilnosti, zbog čega je posebno važno da učenici pohađaju škole koje ih
zanimaju i u kojima se mogu dobro profesionalno razvijati. Drugi riječima, ključno je da interesi
učenika budu u skladu s obrazovnim programima za koje se školuju, odnosno da postignu
kongruentnost, prema Hollandu jednu od ključnih odrednica pozitivnih profesionalnih ishoda,
poput zadovoljstva i uspješnosti u radu. Cilj ovog istraživanja je ispitati kongruentnost
profesionalnih interesa i obrazovnih profila učenika srednjih strukovnih škola te istražiti kakvu
ulogu imaju osobine ličnosti i roditeljska ponašanja u postizanju tog sklada. U istraživanju je
sudjelovalo 335 učenika drugih razreda srednjih škola različitih strukovnih usmjerenja iz više
hrvatskih gradova. Sudionici su ispunili inventar ličnosti HEXACO-60, upitnik profesionalnih
interesa PGI-Short, Skalu roditeljskih ponašanja vezanih uz karijeru i upitnik općih sociodemografskih podataka. Kongruentnost interesa i obrazovnih profila procijenjena je na temelju
korelacije profila, Iachan M indeksa te Brown i Gore C indeksa. Rezultati upućuje da učenici
ostvaruju niske do umjerene razine kongruentnosti interesa i obrazovnih profila. Pronađena je
značajna pozitivna povezanost kongruentnosti s ekstraverzijom i savjesnosti te s roditeljskom
podrškom, kao i značajna negativna povezanost kongruentnosti s emocionalnosti i otvorenosti
te s roditeljskim interferiranjem i neuključenosti. Osobine ličnosti i roditeljska ponašanja
zajedno objašnjavaju 18,4% ukupne varijance kongruentnosti, pri čemu se emocionalnost,
otvorenost i roditeljsko interferiranje pokazuju kao značajni prediktori. Rezultati ukazuju da
veću razinu kongruentnosti imaju učenici koji su manje emocionalni (β=-,117), manje otvoreni
(β=-,305) te čiji roditelji manje interferiraju u njihove profesionalne odluke (β=-,152). Rezultati
dovode do zaključka da i ličnosti i roditeljska ponašanja igraju relevantnu ulogu u skladu
interesa i obrazovnih profila.

Abstract (english)

Vocational schools educate students for specific vocations with limited opportunities for
horizontal mobility. Therefore, it is important for students to enrol in schools that are in line
with their interests so they can develop well professionally. In other words, it is crucial that
students' interests align with their educational programs and that they achieve congruence,
which is one of the key determinants of positive professional outcomes such as job satisfaction
and success, as proposed by Holland. The goal of this research is to examine the congruence of
vocational interests and educational profiles of vocational school students, as well as to explore
what role personality traits and parental behaviour play in achieving it. The participants were
335 second-grade vocational school students of various programs from several Croatian towns.
Participants filled out the HEXACO-60 personality inventory, vocational interests inventory
PGI-Short, Perceived Parental Career-Related Behaviour scale, and general socio-demographic
data. The congruence of interests and educational profiles was obtained by calculating profile
correlation, Iachan M index, and Brown and Gore C index. Results show low to moderate levels
of congruence of interests and educational profiles among participants. Furthermore, results
show that congruence significantly positively correlates with extraversion and
conscientiousness, while it significantly negatively correlates with emotionality and openness.
Additionally, the results show that congruence positively correlates with parental support but
negatively with parental interference and lack of engagement. Personality traits and parental
behaviours together explain 18.4% of the total variance of congruence, while emotionality,
openness, and parental interference prove to be significant predictors of congruence. The results
indicate that a higher level of congruence is found in students who are less emotional (β=-.117),
less open (β=-.305), and whose parents interfere less in their career decisions (β=-.152). These
results lead to the conclusion that both personality and parental behaviour play a relevant role
in achieving congruence of interests and educational profiles.
