GENDER AND DOMICILE ORIGIN IN CAREER DECISION MAKING IN THE PUBLIC SECTOR: EMPIRICAL EVIDENCE FROM KUPANG INDONESIA
Self-efficacy career decisions for students are not easy, this is influenced by various factors. Two factors that influence career decisions in this study are gender and domicile of origin. Women are more likely to have a strong will to improve their academic abilities so that their career choices are not missed when applying for work after completing their undergraduate education. Environmental factors also influence a person's personality in determining career direction after completing undergraduate education. The urbanization of rural communities to cities has also changed their mindset to be better than their life in the village. So students from rural areas struggle more to change their destiny by working in the public sector. Although in this study there was no strong difference between students from villages and students from cities in increasing academic scores after attending training. But this is an important review that urbanization in high-income countries has changed the mindset so far that the younger generation in the village will always follow the profession of their parents. Urbanization is a strong indicator that rural people are increasingly interested in working in the public sector in government offices, rather than working physically like their parents in the village.
