Abstract

Objectives The purpose of this study was to verify the mediating effect of career decision autonomy in the relationship between social support, career decision autonomy, career decision self-efficacy variables perceived by college students, and social support perceived by college students and career decision self-efficacy.
 Methods For this study, 285 college students at universities in the metropolitan area were surveyed. The collected data were descriptive statistics and correlation analysis with SPSS 22.0, and a 3-step multi-regression analysis and sobel test by Baron and Kenny (1986) were performed to verify the mediating effect of career decision-making autonomy.
 Results First, the analysis of the correlation between the social support, career decision-making autonomy, and career decision self-efficacy perceived by college students showed a significant static correlation between all the variables. Second, the social support perceived by college students had an effect on career decision-making self-efficacy and had a positive effect on career decision-making autonomy. Third, in the effect of social support perceived by college students on career decision self-efficacy, career decision-making autonomy showed a partial mediating effect. Based on the above research, it is suggested that college students in career decision-making situations need confidence to feel that they can successfully solve the challenges facing career decision-making.
 Conclusions Perceiving social support to enhance college students' career decision self-efficacy. We intend to provide basic data to promote career decision-making autonomy.
