This study examines the relationships among undergraduate students' career anxiety, choice goals, and academic performance, finding that career anxiety is negatively related to both academic performance and choice goals. However, choice goals do not impact academic performance.
Despite numerous and well-documented studies on career anxiety, career choice goals, and academic performance, little is known empirically about their relationships, particularly in the hospitality and tourism literature. In this study, we test relationships among undergraduate students' career anxiety, choice goals, and academic performance in an integrated model. Findings show that career anxiety was negatively related to both academic performance and choice goals. Choice goals, however, were not related to academic performance, nor did they mediate the relationship between career anxiety and academic performance. Academic advisors and career choice counselors can use this study's findings in several useful ways. Implications for future research are discussed.
