Study design: Observational Study
Abstract: Career decision-making is a process of choosing a career path that involves exploring information, identifying obstacles, and evaluating alternatives in an individual. This process is influenced by several internal (grit) and external (parental support) factors. This study aims to analyze the effect of grit and parental support on career decision-making. A total of 187 students participated in this study. Respondents were selected using purposive sampling techniques. The data collection process was carried out using a Likert scale-based questionnaire consisting of the Grit Scale, Perceived Parental Autonomy Support Scale (P-PASS), and Career Decision Making-Proficiency Scale (CDMPS). The results of the hypothesis test analysis showed that the F-value was 27.63 with a significance level of .001, which indicated that the grit and parental support variables simultaneously had a significant effect on career decision-making. Partially, grit has a dominant contribution of 90.28 percent, while parental support is 9.72 percent. These results indicate that the higher an individual’s grit, the better the strategy produced to make a career decision.
