Abstract: Objective: The objective of this study is to investigate the impact of vocational extracurricular activities, academic satisfaction, and vocational knowledge courses on career decision-making self-efficacy among college students in Guilin, with the aim of improving students' confidence in career decision-making, supporting better career planning and employment outcomes. Theoretical Framework: Bush's cultural model theory emphasizes that collective values and norms within an organization guide leadership behavior through symbols and rituals, providing an important perspective for understanding school culture and its impact on career decision-making ability. Method: A quantitative research method was used to collect data through an online questionnaire survey, and SPSS software was used for correlation analysis and multivariate linear regression analysis. Results and Discussion: The results show that extracurricular activities, academic satisfaction, and career guidance courses are positively correlated with career decision-making efficacy in college students in Guilin, among which career guidance courses have the greatest impact on career decision-making efficacy. Research Implications: This study introduces Tony Bush's educational management culture model, which provides a new perspective for understanding the impact of university organizational culture on students' career decision-making self-efficacy and expands the scope of application of this theory to improve quality of education. Originality/Value: There are few previous studies on the career decision-making self-efficacy of college students in Guilin. At the same time, this study will innovatively explore the use of career guidance courses as one of the independent variables.
