AbstractMany SMP students choose mayor because of their good marks. They are not interested in that field, they just follow what their friend chooses, follow their teacher recommendation, or follow their parent’s advice, but not doing career exploration in the first. This research intended to examine the role of career exploration behavior in mediating social support and career decision making self-efficacy. Data collected from a student in grades 8 and 9 (n= 142), with convenient sampling techniques. The measuring used in this study were Carrier Decision Making Self Efficacy-SF, Adolescent Social Support Scale, and Career Exploration Survey, that have been adapted to Bahasa. Regression analysis and Sobel test showed that career exploration behavior significantly mediating the relationship between social support and career decision making self-efficacy. Social support from a parent, teacher, and friend is a trigger to emerge the career exploration behavior, which finally forms the career decision making self-efficacy. Implications, limitations, and suggestions are discussed.Keywords: Career decision making self-efficacy; Career exploration behavior; Junior high school student; Social support AbstrakBanyak siswa SMP memilih jurusan karena nilainya memadai di bidang tersebut.

This study aims to investigate the impact of parental career behaviors on undergraduate student’s career exploration and the mediating role of career self-efficacy. In the literature it is suggested that some social and individual factors facilitate students’ career exploration. Therefore, parental career behaviors and career self-efficacy is considered as predictors of student’s career exploration attitudes within the scope of the study. In this respect, data which are collected from 405 undergraduate students having an education on tourism and hotel management field by the survey method are analyzed by using the structural equation modeling. The results of the study indicate that parental career behaviors which are addressed support; interference and lack of engagement have a significant effect on student’s career exploration behaviors such as intended-systematic exploration, environment exploration and self-exploration. In addition, it has been found that one of the dimensions of parental career behaviors addressed as a lack of engagement has a significant effect on career self-efficacy levels of students. However, research results indicate that student’s career self-efficacy has a significant effect on only the self-exploration dimension. On the other hand, career self-efficacy has a partial mediating role between lack of engagement attitudes of parents and career exploration behaviors of students.

Given the increased self-directedness of todays’ career environment, career goals represent to some extent the exercise of individual agency, particularly during ecological transitions (e.g., school to work). The main purpose of this study was to analyze the relationship between internship quality and career exploration behavior, considering students’ career goals content (labor market vs. higher education). Using a longitudinal design (pre- and post-internship), we conducted a study (12th grade; N = 191) that explores the relationship between perceived qualities of the internship and the different dimensions of career exploration. Analysis of variance and analysis of covariance, with repeated measures, were used to analyze the data. The results reinforce the importance of career goals, since they seem to have a differentiating effect on how the quality of the internship interacts with students’ career exploration behavior. Finally, the implications of these findings for career interventions and for future research in this area are discussed.
