Ibu menjadi rekan diskusi utama bagi remaja dalam menyiapkan perencanaan karir pada masa transisi. Meskipun beberapa penelitian menemukan hubungan antara dukungan ibu dan salah satu dari 4 dimensi adaptabilitas karir, belum ada penelitian yang dapat menjelaskan dukungan seperti apa dan bagaimana mekanisme yang menjelaskan keterlibatan ibu dalam mengembangkan adaptabilitas karir remaja. Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk melihat apakah kongruensi karir antara remaja dan ibunya berhubungan dengan adaptabilitas karir. Dalam menjelaskan hubungan kedua variabel, penelitian ini juga menguji pengaruh mediasi dari identitas vokasional. Sebanyak 297 siswa sekolah menengah kejuruan kelas 12 mengisi kuesioner yang berisi Adolescent-Mother Career Congruence Scale, Vocational Identity Scale, Inventori Adaptabilitas Karir, dan Data Demografi. Hasil dari analisis regresi dengan PROCESS membuktikan bahwa adolescent-mother career congruence berkorelasi positif dengan adaptabilitas karir (b = 0.80, t(294) = 4.51, p < 0.001). Di sisi lain, efek mediasi dari identitas vokasional tidak terbukti dalam penelitian ini (b = 0.01, 95% CI [-0.01, 0.08]).Hasil penelitian ini memberikan kesempatan kepada pengujian empiris lainnya tentang kualitas dari adolescent-mother career congruence seperti apa yang dapat mengembangkan identitas vokasional remaja. Diskusi teoritis dan implikasi praktis dari hasil temuan penelitian ini akan didiskusikan.
