Projected increases of Hispanics in the U.S. and their contribution to the labor force have created concerns for the future of the U.S. labor market due to their low educational attainment rates. While the proportion of women in the workforce is projected to increase, Mexican American women specifically are underrepresented at all levels of education and overrepresented in low-paying occupations. Due to the notion that the quality of the U.S. labor market will depend on this group's education and job skills, the career development of Hispanics has become a salient issue in research literature.

520 $a Projected increases of Hispanics in the U.S. and their contribution to the labor force have created concerns for the future of the U.S. labor market due to their low educational attainment rates. While the proportion of women in the workforce is projected to increase, Mexican American women specifically are underrepresented at all levels of education and overrepresented in low-paying occupations. Due to the notion that the quality of the U.S. labor market will depend on this group's education and job skills, the career development of Hispanics has become a salient issue in research literature.
520 $a This study sought to expand a theoretical model of career and achievement motivation by testing its generalizability to Mexican American women. The principal purpose of this study was to investigate the contribution of mastery motivation and career aspirations as predictors of nontraditional career self-efficacy in Mexican American adolescent women, and the moderating effect of ethnic identity on these relationships.
520 $a Participants in this study consisted of 121 adolescent high school females from two public high schools in south Texas. Participants responded to each of the instruments: Occupational Self-Efficacy Scale, Career Aspiration Scale, Work and Family Orientation Questionnaire, and Multigroup Ethnic Identity Measure, followed by a demographic questionnaire.
520 $a The data indicated that while there was a significant relationship between Career Aspirations and non-traditional career self-efficacy (NTCSE), the addition of Ethnic Identity as a moderator did not add to the strength of the relationship. Data indicated a positive, significant relationship between mastery motivation and non-traditional career self-efficacy (NTCSE) as well as evidence of a significant moderation effect of Ethnic Identity between Mastery Motivation and NTCSE.
520 $a Findings suggest that there are other factors that may be impeding the actualization of these student's aspirations. While their aspirations are high, their belief in themselves to successfully accomplish the education requirements and job duties for non-traditional careers is less than their aspirations. Due to the age of this sample, it is possible that ethnic identity may not be a salient factor influencing their self-efficacy, but instead may be a dominant cultural worldview. Limitations of this study and future research directions are discussed.
