Abstract:

Career choice is one of the most important decisions individuals make throughout their lives. This study aimed to determine the relationship between career decision self-efficacy and perceived parental support among grade 10 junior high school students. It used a descriptive correlational design utilizing researcher-made questionnaires to gather the data. The respondents were 68 Grade 10 students of a private sectarian school in Cagayan de Oro City, Philippines. The findings of the study revealed that the student’s level of career decision self-efficacy significantly differed in their academic performance, whereas students who had higher academic performance also have higher career decision self-efficacy. The results also showed that the respondents’ level of career decision self-efficacy has a positive and moderate relationship with their perceived parental support. Further, the higher the extent of parental support, the higher the student’s career decision self-efficacy. The findings of this study emphasize the importance of parental support toward their children’s confidence to make career choices.
