Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk melihat peran perilaku orang tua seputar karir dalam memprediksi tingkat adaptabilitas karir pada individu dewasa muda, khususnya mahasiswa PTN tingkat akhir. Sampel data diambil dari 103 partisipan yang mengisi kuesioner daring berisi instrumen PCRBI dan CAAS yang sudah diadaptasi ke dalam bahasa Indonesia. Data tersebut kemudian diproses melalui multiple linear regression berdasarkan tiap dimensi dari tiap variabel. Hasil yang didapatkan menunjukkan bahwa perilaku orang tua seputar karir mampu memprediksi dimensi-dimensi dan keseluruhan adaptabilitas karir individu, namun hanya melalui dimensi support dan lack of engagement. Selain itu, tidak ditemukan korelasi signifikan antara perilaku orang tua seputar karir dan dimensi curiosity. Temuan penelitian ini berarti bahwa campur tangan orang tua dalam perkembangan dan pemilihan karir anak tidak memiliki pengaruh yang signifikan terhadap perkembangan karir mahasiswa tingkat akhir dibandingkan dengan kebebasan eksplorasi dan persepsi dukungan yang diterima. Selain itu, tendensi keingintahuan individu terhadap karir tidak dapat diprediksi dari perilaku orang tua individu tersebut.

This research aims to study the role of career-specific parental behavior in predicting career adaptability in young adult individuals, particularly senior year students from state colleges. Data samples were taken by 103 participants who filled an online questionnaire which consist of Parental Career Related Behavior Instrument and Career Adapt-Abilities Scale that has been adapted to Indonesian. This data then were processed through multiple linear regression based on each dimensions of each construct. Result shows that career-specific parental behavior does predict both career adaptability dimensions and career adaptability as a whole, but only through support and lack of engagement. In addition, this research found no significant correlation between career-specific parental behavior and curiosity. These findings indicates that parental interference in their child’s career development and career decisions does not have any significant influences to a senior undergraduate’s career adaptability in comparison to freedom of exploration and perceived support that the undergraduates receives. In addition, individual’s curiosity tendencies towards career cannot be predicted from their parent’s behavior.
