Article Synopsis
- The study examined how career distress affects the link between choosing the wrong major (major incongruence) and getting involved in work (occupational engagement) among 346 Korean college students.

- Additionally, the negative impact of major incongruence on occupational engagement lessened when students had higher expectations about their future outcomes, highlighting the importance of emotional and cognitive factors in career decision-making and counseling.
