Keywords:

The present study examines the influence of parental encouragement and emotional maturity on career decision self-efficacy (CDSE) among senior secondary school students. A sample of 900 students drawn from the Ludhiana and Moga districts was used to analyze whether variations in parental encouragement and emotional maturity significantly affect levels of CDSE. The Career Decision Self-Efficacy Scale–Short Form (CDSE-SF) was employed as the assessment tool. The results indicate that there are no significant differences in CDSE across different levels of parental encouragement or emotional maturity and no significant interaction effect was found between these variables. The study discusses the implications of these findings for educational practices and career guidance and counseling services.
