This study examined structural analysis of the moderating impact of openness to vocational opportunity on relations between occupational engagement and career decision certainty with mediator role of career decision self-efficacy. The study population consisted medical students in Kerman who 185 of them were selected through stratified sampling. Four scales were used for data collection including occupational engagement, career decision self-efficacy, career decision certainty, and openness to vocational opportunity. Data analysis was performed using structural equation modeling (method of partial least square). Measurement model (Cronbach's alpha, composite reliability, convergent validity, and discriminant validity) and structural model (significant coefficients, factor loadings and the coefficients of determination) were evaluated. The results showed that occupational engagement has a significant effect on career decision certainty and career decision self-efficacy (p<0/01). Career decision self-efficacy in the relationship between occupational engagement and career decision certainty has a mediator role (p<0/01). With the arrival of moderate variable of openness to vocational opportunity in the model, effect of career decision self-efficacy was significant to career decision certainty (p<0/05). Finally, it was concluded that synergy of openness to vocational opportunity with career-related factors (engagement, self-efficacy and confidence) effects on the development of individual career. This study emphasizes the importance of development in openness to vocational opportunity that can apply as a capability in using random events.
