Abstract
Emerging adulthood is characterized by the need to make significant life choices. These life choices have their roots in historical and sociological circumstances. More recently, academicians have started to investigate how parenting styles may affect factors related to career decision-making, such as career decidedness. This study was conducted to explore the role of parenting style on career decision-making among emerging adults. 350 college students from different colleges in Tiruvannamalai city were selected through stratified random sampling and the data was collected with the help of the Parental authority questionnaire by Buri (1991); Career decision-making inventory by Singh (2014). Results revealed that the authoritative parenting style was positively associated with career decidedness and negatively associated with career indecision of career decision-making. Whereas authoritarian parenting style had a significant positive association with career indecision and a negative association with career decidedness. Furthermore, there was a significant gender difference in career decision-making among emerging adults.
