Abstract:

The study examines how family dynamics impact the career choices of students in the Accountancy, Business, and Management (ABM) track, highlighting the role of familial support and guidance in achieving quality education and informed career decisions. It examined the relationship between family influence and career decisions within the context of Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) number four, focusing on Quality Education, among 161 ABM students at Tacurong National High School. It utilized a non-experimental quantitative research design employing descriptive-correlational techniques. Mean, Pearson Product-Moment Correlation and Multiple Regression analysis were employed for data interpretation. Results revealed high levels of family influence and career decisions. Specifically, indicators such as parental engagement and cultural values received high ratings for family influence, while parental support obtained a very high rating and career actions received a high-rating for-career decision. A moderate positive correlation was observed between family influence and career decisions among ABM students. Furthermore, both domains of family influence, parental engagement, and cultural values, significantly influenced the career decisions of ABM students. Consequently, it is suggested that prioritizing initiatives aimed at enhancing parental engagement and fostering cultural values within the educational setting can effectively bolster the career decisions of ABM students at Tacurong National High School, aligning with the objectives of SDG4.
