Abstract
This study aims to examine the effect of self efficacy on career decision making among twelfth grade vocational high school students. The research sample consisted of 98 students who were randomly selected from the entire population of twelfth grade students. A quantitative approach was employed using correlational analysis and simple linear regression with the assistance of SPSS. Data were collected through a self efficacy questionnaire consisting of 24 items and a career decision questionnaire consisting of 18 items using a Likert scale, both of which had been tested for validity and reliability. The results indicate that self efficacy has a positive and significant relationship with career decision making, as evidenced by a Pearson correlation value of r = 0.777 with a significance level of 0.000 which is less than 0.05. The simple linear regression analysis also produced an R Square value of 0.603, indicating that self efficacy contributes 60.3 percent to career decision making. The regression equation Y = 10.567 + 0.627X demonstrates that higher levels of student self efficacy are associated with better career decisions.
Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui pengaruh self-efficacy terhadap keputusan karir pada siswa kelas XII SMK. Sampel penelitian berjumlah 98 siswa yang dipilih secara acak dari seluruh populasi kelas XII. Pendekatan yang digunakan adalah kuantitatif dengan analisis korelasional dan regresi linear sederhana menggunakan bantuan SPSS. Pengumpulan data dilakukan melalui kuesioner self-efficacy (24 item) dan kuesioner keputusan karir (18 item) dengan skala Likert yang telah teruji valid dan reliabel. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa self-efficacy memiliki hubungan positif dan signifikan dengan keputusan karir, yang dibuktikan melalui nilai korelasi Pearson r = 0,777 dengan signifikansi 0,000 < 0,05. Analisis regresi linear sederhana juga menghasilkan R Square sebesar 0,603, yang menandakan bahwa self-efficacy memberikan kontribusi sebesar 60,3% terhadap keputusan karir. Persamaan regresi Y = 10,567 + 0,627X menunjukkan bahwa semakin tinggi self-efficacy siswa, maka semakin baik keputusan karir yang mereka ambil.
