Penelitian ini dilakukan untuk mendapatkan gambaran mengenai hubungan antara adaptabilitas karir dan prestasi akademik pada mahasiswa. Pengukuran adaptabilitas karir menggunakan modifikasi dari Career Issues Survey milik Creed, Fallon dan Hood (2008). Untuk pengukuran prestasi akademik menggunakan indeks prestasi yang diraih oleh partisipan. Partisipan berjumlah 158 mahasiswa yang memiliki usia remaja, 18-19 tahun. Hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan terdapat hubungan positif yang signifikan antara adaptabilitas karir dengan prestasi akademik pada mahasiswa (r = 0.177; p = 0.026, signifikan pada L.o.S 0.05). Artinya, semakin tinggi adaptabilitas karir yang dimiliki seseorang, maka semakin tinggi prestasi akademik yang ia miliki. Berdasarkan hasil tersebut, seseorang perlu diintervensi dalam hal adaptabilitas karir agar ia memiliki kemantapan dalam tugas vokasional sehingga kesadaran akan pentingnya memiliki prestasi akademik akan tertanam sejak dini.
