Abstract
In this study, the role of a proactive personality as a mediator in the relationship between parental involvement and self-efficacy in high school students’ career decisions was examined. The participants included 758 grade 11 students in Jakarta, Bogor, Depok, Tangerang, and Bekasi (Jabodetabek). The instrument that used in this study are Career Decision Self-Efficacy Scale Short Form (CDSES-SF), Parent Career Behavior Checklist (PCBC), and Proactive Personality Scale (PPS). The results revealed that a proactive personality partially mediates the relationship between parental support and parental action with self-efficacy in career decisions. Furthermore, parental support and parental action directly influence self-efficacy in career decisions.
Highlights
Adolescence is characterized by the search for an identity, which includes the quest for a career or job identity
Oebaidillah (2018) stated that high school students, vocational students, and Madrasah Aliyah students believe that they are not provided with enough information and comprehensive guidance related to job opportunities and job trends for the following five to 25 years
The results further revealed that parental support and parental action had a reasonably significant correlation with proactive personality
Summary
A non-experimental quantitative research design is employed to explore the relationship between two or more variables when the participants are not placed in a treatment condition (Gravetter & Forzano, 2012). A questionnaire that comprised items of career decision selfefficacy, proactive personality, and parental involvement were employed to collect data
