This study examines the dynamics of personality traits that interfere with occupational decisions among young adults, especially during a pandemic. Three multiple regression analyses were conducted to predict career decision self-efficacy (CDSE), e.g., planning and indecision from the Big 5 personality measures. We hypothesized that EI and personality affect employment conflicts (Study 1), and that CDSE mediates EI and planning difficulty (Study 2). Conscientiousness and openness significantly predicted CDSE, F(5, 128) = 15.64, p < .001, R2 = .38, while neuroticism was statistically significant in predicting CSPS, F(5, 128) = 3.94, p < .01, R2 = .13. Neuroticism was significant for personality variables while a negative correlation was found between EI and career indecision (r = -0.25, at p < .01). Results demonstrate that the positive effect of CDSE mediated EI’s link to career indecision, which reveals that conscientiousness also predicted participants’ occupational indecision (β = -0.17, p < .05).

Positive Effect

Empirical findings show that students feel more stressed about their future positions during the isolation of a pandemic (Mahmud, Talukder, &amp; Rahman, 2020). This study examines the dynamics of personality traits that interfere with occupational decisions among young adults, especially during a pandemic. Probable factors related to indecision are planning, emotional intelligence (EI), and career decision self-efficacy (CDSE). As such, we conducted three multiple regression analyses to predict CDSE, such as planning and indecision from the Big 5 personality measures. We hypothesized that EI and personality affect employment conflicts (Study 1), and that CDSE mediates EI and planning difficulty (Study 2). Two out of five personalities, conscientiousness and openness, significantly predicted CDSE, F(5, 128) = 15.64, p &lt; .001, R2 = .38, while only neuroticism was statistically significant in predicting CSPS, F(5, 128) = 3.94, p &lt; .01, R2 = .13. When predicting employment indecision, neuroticism was significant for personality variables, F(5, 128) = 5.58, p &lt; .01, R2 = .18 while a negative correlation was found between EI and career indecision (r = -0.25, at p &lt; .01). Results demonstrate that the positive effect of CDSE mediated EI’s link to any big decision, which reveals that conscientiousness also predicted participants’ occupational indecision (β = -0.17, p &lt; .05), as well as the effect of EI on their choices, mediated by CDSE. This study expands on Gray, Lee, and Kim’s study (2020) by conducting a remediation analysis. Building organizational frameworks that allow college students to pursue their professional goals was critical in maximizing their full potential.

ABSTRAKKebimbangan karier merupakan kondisi dimana individu mengalami kesulitan dalam membuat keputusan karier yang akan ditempuh. Mahasiswa tingkat akhir rentan merasakan kebimbangan karier. Hal ini mengakibatkan mahasiswa menjadi tidak yakin terhadap kemampuannya untuk menempuh jenjang karier setelah lulus nanti. Efikasi diri merupakan salah satu aspek penting dalam proses pembuatan keputusan karier, yang dapat membantu individu dalam menentukan karier. Akan tetapi, penelitian sebelumnya menunjukan hasil yang tidak konsisten mengenai hubungan antara efikasi diri dalam membuat keputusan karier dengan kebimbangan karier.Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk melihat kembali bentuk hubungan antara efikasi diri dalam membuat keputusan karier dengan kebimbangan karier pada mahasiswa tingkat akhir. Penelitian ini melibatkan 328 mahasiswa tingkat akhir sebagai sampel, yang diperoleh dengan menggunakan teknik sampel insidental. Pengukuran kebimbangan karier menggunakan alat ukur Career Decision Scale (CDS) dan pengukuran efikasi diridalam membuat keputusan karier menggunakan Career Decision Making Self-efficacy Scale (CDMSES). Hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan terdapat hubungan yang signifikan antara kedua variabel penelitian (r = -0,143 p = 0,010,01). Implikasi dari hasil penelitian ini adalah mahasiswa dapat mengurangi kebimbangan karier dengan cara meningkatkan efikasi diri saat membuat keputusan karier.Kata kunci: Career Decision Making Self-efficacy, Career Indecision, Mahasiswa Tingkat AkhirABSTRACTCareer Indecision is a condition when students has difficulty to make career decision that will be pursued.

Career Decision Making Self-Efficacy Scale (CDMSES) and Career Decision Scale (CDS) used to collect the data. Result of this study showed that there is significant correlation between Career Decision Making Self-Efficacy and Career Indecision (r = -0,143 p = 0,010,01). The implication of this study is college student with high career decision making self-efficacy can decrease their career indecision.Keywords: Career Decision Making Self-efficacy, Career Indecision, Final Year College Students
