COMPARISON OF CAREER CONFLICT IN DECISION MAKING AMONG ADOLESCENTS

The present study was aimed to analyse the difference in the career conflict of rural-urban adolescents and
adolescents studying in government and private schools. It is assumed that the career conflict of rural and urban
adolescents and adolescents studying in government and private schools does not differ significantly. Career-conflict
scale by Kumar and Rekha (2015) was used for the data collection from 200 adolescents of 14-18 years. The findings
of the study revealed that 24% urban adolescents shown low career conflict, 64% adolescents have average level of
career conflict and 12% urban adolescents have showed high career conflict. 20% rural adolescents shown low
career conflict, 56% adolescents have average level of career conflict and 24% rural adolescents have shown high
career conflict. 23% adolescents studying in private schools shown low career conflict, 64% adolescents have average
level of career conflict and 13% adolescents studying in private schools shown high career conflict. 21% adolescents
studying in government schools shown low career conflict, 55% adolescents have shown average level of career
conflict and 24% adolescents studying in government schools have shown high career conflict. The t-ratio of the
career conflict scores of the adolescents belonging to urban and rural areas has not been found to be significant at
0.05 level of confidence and 0.01 level of confidence. Similarly the t-ratio of the career conflict scores of the
adolescents studying in private and government schools has not been found to be significant at 0.05 level of
confidence and 0.01 level of confidence.
