Abstract

Career decision making is considered an important skill in the life of an individual. It is a learnable skill which involves the ability to collect and analyze individual information. Self-efficacy in career decision making is someone’s belief in the career decision he/she takes. The objective of this research was to understand the career decision making self-efficacy of college students. The participants were 313 students conveniently selected from 4 batches of students studying three programs, namely Language and Communication, Psychology and Islamic Studies at a private university. Data were collected using career decision making self-efficacy scale of 25 items. The item analysis revealed that 20 of those items had strong power discrimination index, therefore, they are valid and reliable to be used in the study. The study found that there was a difference in career decision making self-efficacy across gender. Male students had higher confidence in making career decision than female ones.
