Career and talent development self-efficacy is an enabling resource that could facilitate the realization of these goals. The present study examines a model of career and talent development self-efficacy predicted by self-compassion through hope in a sample of Filipino college students (N = 620). Results of structural equation modeling revealed that the model has good fit to the data, and that self-compassion has a significant indirect effect on career and talent development self-efficacy through hope. These findings highlight the importance of developing students’ personal resources in order to maximize their skills and abilities in developing their talents and being successful in their chosen career.enPeer Reviewed Journal Article
