Abstract

Adolescence is an important period for career development. Parent support and adolescent’s skills in seeking career opportunities from unexpected encounters contribute to adolescent’s self-efficacy in career decision making. The present study examined the mediating role of planned happenstance in the relationship between career-related parent support and self-efficacy in career decision making among junior high school students. Participants comprised of 136 junior high school students. The instrument used in this study were the Indonesian translations of Career-Related Parent Support Scale, Career Decision Self-Efficacy-Short Form, and Planned Happenstance Career Inventory. Results suggested that career-related parent support affects career decision-making self-efficacy directly or through the mediation of planned happenstance. The study concludes by outlining the importance of future studies to analyze the relationship between career-related parent support and planned happenstance.
