The purpose of this study was to refine the scale for self-image (Shimizu, Shimotomai, & Kazama, 2003) after attaining an occupation. Undergraduates (N=688) completed a questionnaire about the types of occupations they desired, their motivation level to attatin it/them, and their self-image after attaining an occupation. The major findings were as follows. (1) Nine factors were extracted from the self-image items for male students, while seven factors were extracted for female students. These factors revealed a current outlook on the self-image that students have of themselves after obtaining employment. (2) These self-images significantly influenced the motivation level toward attaining the desired occupations. (3) Reliability and validity of the scale were satisfied, except for certain subscales. These results suggest that future self-image after attaining an occupation can be very useful for understanding the vocational decision process amongst undergraduates.
