Career decision-making process (CDMP) is an individual skill in determining career decisions. During crisis development,
transition-exploration adolescent may have difficulty in determining career goals. Two aspects stabilizer CDMP
i.e.vocational identity ([VI], internal aspect) and parents’ involvement in adolescent career issues (external aspect). This
study investigated parental involvement in three forms (support, interference, lack of engagement) of the variable parental
career-related behaviors (PCB). Based on previous research, the VI role to CDMP can be enhanced through the positive role
parents. Therefore, this research investigated the VI role as a mediator in the PCB and CDMP relationship, each VI or PCB
role directly to CDMP, and PCB role to IV. Research subjects of first semester (~19 years) students from a private
university in Lippo Village-Tangerang were selected through simple random sampling. Data were analyzed with SPSS
Amos v.22. Multivariate regression in path analysis showed the theoretical model of each form of PCB did fit with the
empirical data. VI has a direct role to CDMP (38.00, 32.00, and 35.00%). Every form of PCB shows a direct role to CDMP
(19.00, -13.00, and -15.00%). PCB interference and lack of engagement contribute to VI at -23.00 and -15.00%. VI of each
PCB form shows no role as a mediator in the PCB and CDMP relationship on exploration-transition university students.
Career decision-making process (CDMP) merupakan keterampilan individu menentukan keputusan karir. Pada
perkembangannya di masa kritis, seringkali remaja eksplorasi-transisi mengalami kesulitan menentukan tujuan karir. Dua
aspek peneguh CDMP adalah identitas vokasional (IV [aspek internal]) dan keterlibatan orang tua terhadap persoalan karir
remaja (aspek eksternal). Pada penelitian ini keterlibatan orang tua diselidiki melalui tiga bentuk (support, interference, lack
of engagement) dari variabel parental career-related behavior (PCB). Berdasarkan penelitian terdahulu, IV remaja dalam
peranannya terhadap CDMP dapat ditingkatkan melalui peranan positif orang tua. Oleh karena itu, penelitian ini
menyelidiki peranan IV sebagai mediator dalam hubungan antara PCB dan CDMP, peranan langsung IV dan PCB masingmasing
terhadap CDMP, serta peranan PCB terhadap IV. Subjek mahasiswa semester 1 (~19 tahun) pada salah satu
universitas swasta di Lippo Village-Tangerang ditentukan melalui teknik simple random sampling. Data penelitian
dianalisis dengan program SPSS Amos v.22. Hasil analisis jalur (regresi multivariat) menunjukkan model teoritis setiap
bentuk PCB adalah sesuai (fit) dengan data empiris. IV berperan langsung terhadap CDMP (38.00, 32.00, dan 35.00%).
Setiap bentuk PCB berperan langsung terhadap CDMP (19.00, -13.00, dan -15.00%). PCB interference dan lack of
engagement berperan terhadap IV sebesar -23.00 dan -15.00%. IV setiap bentuk PCB tidak berperan sebagai mediator
dalam hubungan PCB dengan CDMP mahasiswa eksplorasi-transisi.
