Abstract

The current study aims to identify the impact of group dynamics (family, peers, university environment) on the career decisions of university youth, and to propose a conceptual framework from the perspective of group work methods to assist university youth in making appropriate career decisions. The study relies on a comprehensive social survey methodology, which applied to 268 male and female students.
The study finds that the most common decision-making style among university youth in career choices is the rational style. It also reveals that the desire to start working quickly is one of the most influential personal variables in the career decision-making of university youth. The results indicated a significant impact of family and peer groups on the career decisions of university youth. Furthermore, there are statistically significant differences between the average responses of university youth regarding family variables and the university environment and their impact on career decisions, according to gender, for females. Additionally, there are statistically significant differences in the responses of the study participants regarding the variables influencing career decisions based on parental education, as well as statistically significant differences based on family income level.
