Career maturity is individual ability to carry out career developmental tasks according to career developmental stages, in which adolescents should be able to make plans and perform career decision-making. The problems that arise, adolescents are challenged to carry out career-decision making. The aim of the study was to assess career maturity model in adolescents which is observed from autonomy, attachment, parental social support, and self-efficacy in career decision-making. This was a quantitative study involving 262 adolescents (49.4% girls and 51.7% boys; 44.9% were 16 years old, 34.1% 15 years old, 13.1% 17 years old, and 7.9% were 14 and 18 years old) studying in high schools who were selected using purposive sampling technique. Data collection was conducted by using Career Maturity Scale, Autonomy Scale, Attachment Scale, Parental Social Support Scale and Self-efficacy Scale. Data were analysed using SEM (Structural Equation Modelling). The result of the study shows that career maturity model in adolescents conforming both concept and theory. Autonomy, attachment and parental social support are significantly related to self-efficacy in career decision-making. Likewise, self-efficacy is significantly related to career maturity in adolescents. Autonomy, attachment, and parental social support are not directly related to career maturity in adolescents, which means that career maturity in adolescents requires more than autonomy, attachment, and parental social support. Maturity is established when those factors are mediated by self-efficacy in career decision-making.
