Abstract/Summary

This study investigates the parental influences on career decision making self efficacy among Indonesian college students in Maranatha Christian University, Indonesia using the concurrent mixed method research design. The study 1 survey of 232 Indonesian college students between 17 to 23 years of age from different major of studies was examined. The findings showed that the parents tend to be permissive and the participants have the high level of career decision making self-efficacy. Mother’s decision making style is the only predictor among the 18 subscales of the independent variables for the career decision making self-efficacy among Indonesian college students in Maranatha Christian University. Twenty students (selected based on their gender, major study and socio economic status) participated in the in-depth interviews during study 2. A qualitative analysis of open-ended questions showed that choosing major in college was found to be the general career decision made by the participants; personal interests and self desires as the general factors to be considered in the career decision making process; and the parents generally influencing the participants’ career decision making by supporting them psychologically and financially. The study also presented the implications of the results. More future studies aimed at developing programs and counseling interventions for Indonesian college students are also recommended.
