Abstract

Existence of Career Decision Making Difficulty (CDD) is lightly addressed in the career planning and career management body of knowledge. The purpose of this explanatory study was to test the prevalence and the nature of the CDD specifically among the Sri Lankan undergraduates. An explanatory study was carried out with the data of filed survey of 108 valid responses those represent the Sri Lankan universities. The instrument of three facets of CDD [1] was used as the principle measure of responses. Results showed the prevalence of significant level of CDD among undergraduates of Sri Lanka universities. The lack of readiness appears prior to the career decision making process and the great level of CDD is supported by lack of readiness. Lack of information and inconsistent information are too significantly contributing CDD among undergraduates during the career decision making process. Lack of readiness of Sri Lankan undergraduates is mainly due to their dysfunctional belief and general indecisiveness rather than lack of motivation.
