ABSTRACT
This project explores the relationship between family influences and the career decisionmaking
self-efficacy of college students pursuing their first year and graduate and post graduate
programme. Career decision-making self-efficacy plays a vital role in understanding
individuals‘ career behaviors. Family, as a primary source of social support, exerts a substantial
influence on adolescents‘ career development and decision-making process. This study
examined the role of selected family variables in predicting 300 college (1st year UG and 1st
year PG) students‘ career decision-making self-efficacy. Family structural variables that
reflected, family process-oriented variables, especially, parental career-related behaviors, were
examined. The questionnaire we used for this quantitative study is parent career behaviour
checklist questionnaire and Career Decision Making Self-efficacy questionnaire. Results
showed that the parental general psycho social support was statistically important factor in
predicting career decision-making self-efficacy, explaining of the variance of this construct for
college students and results reflected that there was a negative correlation of family influence
on students. There exists gender difference between Career decision-making self-efficacy and
family influence it is also proven that there is a significant difference among gender between
family influence and career decision-making self-efficacy.

T here are many influences in our daily life. But it is our choice whether to get
influenced or not. In our life span the major influence is made by our surroundings
and the people around us especially family members, friends and others. Here we are
mainly focusing the influence made by family in student‘s career decision making self-
efficacy. We cannot say that each and every family members influences our career decision
making self-efficacy but most of them especially the parents in India tend to influence their
children than the parent in other countries. Indian parents and their children are more
connected with each other in every aspect that is both emotional and others. They get
involved in child‘s decision making mostly when it comes to career, profession and

Analysis
educational aspects. Indian parents insist their child to pick a career which would lead them
to an economically stable life and firm job security. Most of them suggest students to pick
either medicine or engineering as it would have more job opportunities when compared to
other fields. They wanted their children to reach heights and to get government sector jobs.
Parents serve as a major influence in their children‘s career development and career
decision-making. Parents want their children to find happiness and success in life and one
factor which influences happiness and success is career choice.
SOME OF THE KEY INFLUENCES

• The expectations parents have for their children‘s education and career
• The example they set for their children
• The values they show to their family, friends and to society
• The opportunities they offer their children to learn something new and develop
knowledge
• The kind of parent-child relationship they develop
Middleton and Loughead (1993) talk of how parents can be an important and positive
influence in decisions affecting a young person‘s vocational development. Nucci (1996) told
that parents should be cautioned against imposing their own goals and aim on their children
or seeing their child‘s accomplishments as a reflection on themselves.
Choosing a career suitable for oneself is a student‘s vital responsibility and is extremely
important decision impacts an individual‘s entire life, so parents can become stressed. It is
good to stay positive otherwise it can become a more stressful situation for all those
involved in this. Parents unwittingly can make the past seem perfect and the future more
terrifying.
A study by Bregman and Killen (1999) documented that adolescents valued parental
influence and guidance in the area of career choice and vocational development. It is
important for parents to give student a support and encouragement to explore many options
available to find the best career which fits them. It is best to start the discussion as early as
possible. Much of the formative way of discussion must have happened before this stage. If
this process is started earlier there is less likelihood of making unwise decision.
Parents should guard against shooting down ideas their child may have about their future
careers. If they react negatively, it may shut their whole exploration process. Parents need to
keep the lines of communication open, and encourage their child to gather as much as
information as possible on their career interest areas. A parent must recognize that their role
is simply to act as a facilitator and guide in their children‘s career journey and allowing
independent career choices marks a youths first step into adulthood. But most of the parents
don‘t follow this concept and are acting as a major influencer in their child‘s decision and
their choices. This would tend the child to choose a field of no interest to him/her and
giveaway their own field of interest.
Stronger your relationship with your children, the more influence you‘ll have as your child
will be more dependent on you and consider your thoughts, ideas as a vital part. This is
because the child is emotionally attached with their family or parent and is grown in a way

Analysis
where each and every decision made by the child is based on their family or parent‘s ideas
and is not allowed to make any decision of his own.
CAREER DECISION- MAKING SELF-EFFICACY

Career decision- making self-efficacy was originally defined by Taylor and Betz (1983) as a
person‘s beliefs that he or she has the ability to complete successfully the tasks related to
decision making in relation to his or her career.
Career self-efficacy provides important information relevant to understanding the complex

career development process (Niles and Sowa, 1982).
ROLE OF SELF-EFFICACY IN OUR DAY-TO-DAY LIFE

Self-efficacy determines what goals we choose to pursue in our life, how we go about
accomplishing those goals, and how we reflect upon our own performance. Our belief in our
own ability to succeed plays a role in how we think, how we act, and how we feel about our
place in this world.
Individuals with high self-efficacy beliefs tend to exhibit more situational ability and are
much more confidence in their intuitive decision- making. Those with low self-efficacy
belief may forego opportunities or not implementing workable courses of action. Students
with high levels of self-efficacy attribute their failures to lower attempts rather than lower
ability, when compared to students with lower ability, while those with low self-efficacy
attribute their failure to their low abilities. Self-efficacy can influence the choice of tasks and
perseverance while doing them. Current generation has a improved self-efficacy when
compared with our ancestors. In early period each child was instructed the follow the path
built by their family and parents but now students are given a little freedom to choose their
paths or to build them on their own. Self-efficacy is a basic and most needed thing in an
individual‘s life. If a person lacks self-efficacy he would be influenced by his surroundings
easily. This would change the whole story of our life in a different way.
HOW SELF-EFFICACY WORKS IN CAREER DECISION- MAKING

People with high self-efficacy have higher engaging in career planning. Together
decisionmaking skills hence they would choose a fine career which is suitable to them.
Stronger career decision- making self-efficacy are more likely to develop positive expectations
about the outcomes of, self-efficacy and positive outcome expectations are seen as promoting
goals to pursue career exploration and decision-making activities.
Albert Bandura names four sources of self-efficacy they are:

1. MASTERY EXPERIENCES
The first and foremost source of self-efficacy is through mastery experiences. However
nothing is more powerful than having a direct experience of mastery to improve self-
efficacy. Having a success, for example in mastering a task or controlling an environment,
will build self-belief in that area whereas a failure will undermine that efficacy belief. To
have a resilient sense of self-efficacy requires experience in overcoming obstacles through
effort and perseverance.
2. VICARIOUS EXPERIENCES
The second source of self-efficacy comes from observation of people around us, especially
people we consider as role models. Seeing people similar to ourselves succeed by their
Analysis
sustained effort raises our beliefs that we too possess the capabilities to master the activities
needed for success in that area.
3. VERBAL PERSUASION
Influential people in our lives such as parents, teachers, managers or coaches can strengthen
our beliefs that we have what it takes to succeed. Being persuaded that we possess the
capabilities to master certain activities means that we are more likely to put in the effort and
sustain it when problems arise.
4. EMOTIONAL AND PHYSIOLOGICAL STATES

The state you‘re in will influence how you judge your self-efficacy. Depression, for
example, can dampen confidence in our capabilities. Stress reactions or tension are
interpreted as signs of vulnerability to poor performance whereas positive emotions can
boost our confidence in our skills.
CAREER DECISION-MAKING SELF-EFFICACY

The process called career decision making is a critical period that affects the future of
individuals together with their families. Career choice will determine the individual‘s quality
of life. For people who spend more than their lives in their career choices is a factor that
indirectly affects happiness.
Choosing a profession that an individual wants to do and making an effort to prepare for that
profession is called the career process. The most important factors in an individual‘s
decision making are their strengths and weakness. When choosing a career path, individuals
will decide on their preferences, considering the effects of their physical and mental
abilities, their academic skills, and economic situation. Even though it is sometimes
beneficial for better career opportunities, changing career path after studying at university is
challenging and wasteful of resources. Therefore, for their career choice, individuals should
be supported, guided and showed compatibility between their characteristics and their needs
and expectations.
Career decision making is one of the issues that needs to be emphasized when planning for
the future. Happiness and relationships with people will be directly affected by the possible
problems of individuals who are having problem related to their career decision. It is
difficult and complicated to make an important decision for life before university.
Individuals should compare their social, physical and mental characteristics with their
chosen profession‘s features to facilitate the career decision making process and examine
possible problems in advance that may raise later. Therefore, self-efficacy is crucial in
making career decisions. Career decision making self-efficacy is defined as the degree of
belief that individuals can perform the career process successfully.
HOW IS CAREER CHOICE IMPORTANT IN OUR LIFE?

Career expectations have become an essential concept in professional life and have been
defined by many researchers with various perspectives. Among these definitions, different
definitions range from career being the sum of work, family and school processes to being a
lifestyle. In addition, a common definition is that a career is a process that continues during
and after the choice of profession, including making an effort to be successful, and
succeeding during these periods using various resources.
Analysis
The turning point for choosing a career usually starts during the pre-university or university
era. In this period, when individuals experience difficulties in both their psychological and
social lives, asking them to make decisions that will affect their entire lives will increase
individual‘s stress and prevent them from making sound decisions.
HOW DO SOCIOECONOMIC STATUS AND CULTURAL DIVERSITY INFLUENCES

CAREER DECISION-MAKING
Student having low socioeconomic levels mostly lack in their educational aspects it may be
for various reasons as follows;
1. Family's poverty would create disturbances in their academic levels.
2. Surroundings they live also influences their survival.
3. People they mingle with also influences their career in future.
4. Due to lack of money for even basic needs would also affect their daily life
5. People with low poverty levels are sent to a work more earlier than others due to
their family situation.
6. Student with low economic levels will probably live in small places with constant
disturbances in environment they live.
7. Due to lack of money they will not be able to buy and collect materials for
references.
8. And parent's awareness of educational aspects would be low.
9. Cultural diversity for example if a person from a particular place they have a specific
culture and origin.
10. In India the cultural aspect is narrow when compared to others. In Indian culture
there will be certain restrictions and ethics to be followed.
11. Hence cultural aspect may differ country to country, place to place, family to family
so this can be a very vast aspect in which anything can affect influence the child or
parent.
REVIEW OF LITERATURE
A research conducted by Ruseno and Hartono to understand the career decision making self-
efficacy of college students. The participants were students the count was 313, conveniently
selected from 4 batches of students studying three programs, namely Language and
Communication, Psychology and Islamic Studies at a private university. Datas were
collected with the help of career decision making self-efficacy scale of 25 items. The item
analysis revealed that 20 of the items had heavy power discrimination index, therefore, they
are reliable and valid to be used in the study. The study found that there was a difference in
career decision making self-efficacy within gender. Male students had higher confidence in
making career decision than female ones is reflected in this study.
The study done by Nancy E. Betz This study was to find the relationships among career
decision-making self-efficacy, locus of control, and vocational indecision. The present study
continued the exploration of the relationship between career decision-making self-efficacy
(CDMSE) and vocational indecision and also examined the relationship between the
concepts of CDMSE, career salience, and locus of control. The chosen subjects were, 203
female and 204 male college students, were administered a questionnaire and measures of
career decision-making self-efficacy, occupational self-efficacy, locus of control, career
salience, and career indecision in counterbalanced order. Results confirmed that previous
research findings CDMSE was found to be moderately and negatively related to vocational
indecision and locus of control whereas a moderate positive relationship was found between

The study conducted by cifman in the year 2019 sought to find out how parental influence
their children‘s career decisions. Sample of Ninety (90) participants were randomly selected
from 4 most common careers in Zimbabwe (Health profession, education profession,
Industry and office profession). A quantitative approach was followed and participants
responded to a closed form questionnaire on a 5-point-Likert scale. The results indicated that
parents (family at large) provide a very strong influence on their children‘s career decisions
inspite of the modern Practice such as the attachment individuation theory that states that
most communities have become more individual centred than social in the way they live and
also to make personal decision, particularly career decision. The researcher recommends that
parents be exposed and provided with the relevant career information to assist their children
in career guidance. Schools are encouraged to extend a helping hand to parents so they may
work collaboratively with parents in providing career guidance.
This study investigates the factors influencing the choice of estate surveying and valuation
as a career among secondary school leavers in Benin City, Nigeria which was conducted in
the year 2018. Data was collected through random distribution of 400 semi-structured
questionnaire to SS3 students from 20 randomly selected secondary school's students in
Benin City. Findings found to be that peer group influence and friend advice with means of
2.67 and 2.51 respectively ranked highest among the factors influencing the student‘s choice
on the profession. These results were further validated by the lack of awareness among the
respondents about estate surveying and evaluating resulting in factors such as personal
interest, job prospect and lucrativeness having less influence on the career path they would
eventually decide to go on with. The study suggests an awareness campaign by the NIESV
and ESVARBON on the aspects, prospects and lucrativeness of the profession to secondary
school leavers as a helping hand to guide their career choices which is found to be more
important.
This mixed-methods study was done by Adrianna Kezar and Lieane Hypolite on September
15 ,2019 explored whether and the way participation during a comprehensive college
transition program serving low-income, first-generation, and underrepresented minority
students is connected to the event of career self-efficacy in light of the latter‘s link to
persistence and college completion. Findings revealed that program participation is linked to
career self-efficacy, and program participants report significantly higher levels of confidence
in their major and career path compared with an effect group. Qualitative results indicate
that major and career support from college transition program staff and being connected to
an ecology of major and career-related activities contributed to the event of program
participants‘ career self-efficacy. Results hold importance for school transition program
design and point out to an underexplored area of research within the quest to spice up the
school completion for low-income, first-generation, and underrepresented minority students.
The samples collected was around 978 they're randomly selected samples.
Analysis
Another study concerned 211 feminine and forty seven male (259 total) school students
from the State University of recent York at New Paltz common population. All knowledge
were collected on-line. It was hypothesized that the sources of career self-efficacy would
considerably correlate with and predict career exploration over and higher than career self-
efficacy, which past performance accomplishments would have the strongest influence. to

sources scales additionally correlate considerably with career self-efficacy. Results of the
quantity correlations and multiple correlation analyses supported the hypothesis that sources
of career self-efficacy beliefs liquidate reality correlate with and predict career exploration.
Performance accomplishments had the strongest influence found on career self-efficacy,
where verbal persuasion was strongest predictor of career exploration. These results counsel
that career counselors ought to incorporate verbal persuasion in their work with shoppers to
reinforce career self-efficacy and career exploration.

Hofer (2008) checked out the link between the amount of parent-child communication and
its impact on students‘ transition to school. first and sophomore students, still as their
oldsters, got a survey with close-ended and open-ended inquiries to verify the association.
Hofer (2008) found that those students with oldsters UNagency communicated oftentimes
and controlled their teachers and behavior had all-time low autonomy and were the smallest
amount proud of their school expertise. consistent with Chickering and Reisser‘s theory
(1993) developing autonomy may be a vital task throughout school. This study sheds
lightweight on the concept that an excessive amount of parental regulation is also harmful to
students‘ psychosocial development, specifically developing autonomy.
According to Chickering and Reisser‘s theory of development(1993), students progress on

sevenvectors that embody developing ability, managing emotions, moving through
autonomy toward reciprocity, developing mature relationships, establishing identity,
developing purpose, and developing integrity. The model may be thought of united wherever
a task should be developed absolutely before succeeding to every later task. This model
indicated that there was a particular method and temporal arrangement to the organic
process tasks suggesting that students should accomplish these tasks before feeling ready to
handle career and different problems (Bowers, Dickman, & Fuqua, 2001).
Liu, Morgan (2015), the paper attracts on findings from a case study that explored the topic

Another study conducted by (Consoli, 2006) shows varied different demographic and social
factors that have an effect on the career call making like faith, gender, rules in an

DESIGN OF THE PRESENT STUDY

The research design used in our study is correlational method. We have used correlational
method to see if the relationship between family influence (independent variable) and career
decision-making self-efficacy (dependent variable) exists, but not under the control of the
researchers. While correlation research can show a relationship between variables. In
correlation study we cannot prove cause-and-effect relationship. There are three types of
correlation method from that we have picked survey method in our study.
SAMPLE DESIGN
1. Population: Population include Undergraduate and Postgraduate students from
colleges inside Tamil Nadu.
2. Sample size: 300 respondents were taken as a sample size.
3. Sample element: Individual first year Undergraduate and Postgraduate students were
the sampling element.
4. Sample techniques: Non-probability purposive sample used to sample the
population.
INCLUSIVE CRITERIA
In this research we include,
• Targeted population: First year Undergraduate and Postgraduate students

SETTINGS
The questionnaire was implemented to various colleges in and around Tamilnadu targeting
the first year Undergraduate and first year Postgraduate students both in Arts and science
colleges and Engineering colleges. All the Undergraduate students‘ age was about 18 or 19
and Postgraduate students age not more than 25 and less than 21.The male and female datas
are equally collected.
MEASURES
In the questionnaire there were three sections. Each and every section reported family
influences and career decision-making self-efficacy. In first section, participants were asked
to provide some basics background information about themselves. In second section,
participants were asked to select parent/guardian‘s behaviour on their career decisionmaking
self-efficacy ,and the third section includes their own career decision-making selfefficacy to
check their own capability without family influences.
METHODS OF DATA COLLECTION

After taking the questionnaire and tools as discussed, the data was collected from college
students pursuing their first year Under graduate and Post graduate for 300 students with the
administered tools. The samples were collected from random persons who is pursuing first
year UG and PG, it was not collected from a specific institution or college. The data was
collected in and around Tamil Nadu. Different type of questions related to our research was
taken. This research is completely done by using survey method. The data was around 300.
The techniques used to collect sample was using non-probability purposive sampling
method.
QUESTIONNAIRES
(1) PARENTS CAREER BEHAVIOUR CHECKLIST (PCBC)
(KELLER AND WHISTON, 2008)
Parents Career Behaviour Checklist questionnaires consists of twenty three items for
accessing participants. The perceptions of this questionnaire is to assess the behaviour of
parents psychosocial support scale and parenting behaviour which is career specific action
scale. Responses of the participants were done on a 5- points Likert – type scale, measuring
the extent in which each questions applies to the parents / guardian selected as ,
1 = strongly disagree
2 = Disagree
3 = Neutral
4 = Agree
Analysis
5 = strongly agree
The questionnaires was more relevant among college students – aged sample.
(e.g.: ―My parents ask what careers I am consider for my future, ― My parent helps me
feel better when I tell him/her I am worried or concerned about choosing a career etc.). The
Parents Career Behaviour Checklist questionnaire measures has coefficient alpha of 0.93 and
sub-scales;
Psychosocial support scale = r = 0.93

Career Action scale = r = 0.92, (KELLER AND WHISTON, 2008)
(II) CAREER DECISION- MAKING SELF –EFFICACY QUESTIONNAIRES

(CDSESF): (BETZ, KLIEN, AND TAYLOR, 1996)
Career Decision- Making Self-Efficacy questionnaires consists of twenty five questions
analysing the students career self - efficacy ( e.g. : ―I will persistently work at my major
(scholastic) or career goal even when I get frustrated , I make my plan of my goals for the
next five year) etc. .., This questionnaires contains five sub-scales namely ;
1) Self-appraisal
2) Occupational information
3) Goal selection
4) Plannings and
5) Problem solving
The participants responses were done on a 5-points Likert-type scale measuring the level of
efficacy of the participants on which they felt about their own careers – decisions ,the scale
measures ,
1) Strongly disagree
2) Disagree
3) Neutral
4) Strongly agree
5) Agree
The five sub-scales for the Career Decisions – Making Self – Efficacy had coefficient alphas
ranging from 0.78 to 0.87 and 0.93 to 0.95 of the total score. (BETZ,

LIKERT SCALE
Likert (1932) created a scale for the assessment of survey subject‘s attitudes. Likert scaling
accept the existence of an underlying (or latent or natural) continuous variable whose value
expressed the subject‘s opinion and attitude. Likert scales are very popular and are widely
used in different areas like psychology, sociology, health care, marketing, attitude,
Analysis
preference, customers‘ quality perceptions or expectations, and of subjective well-being of

human in health care, etc.
Individual item in Likert scale usually has odd number of response like 5 or 7. But here we
chosen the five point likert scale. Representative response alternatives could be Strongly
agree, Agree, neutral, Disagree, and Strongly disagree. The response categories are usually
aligned in numbers like 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 . However assigning successive number values to
scale categories has also been criticized for not being realistic.
REVIEW OF LITERATURE
Stevens (1946) mentioned that in the strict manner that statistics involving mean and SD
should not to be used with ordinal scales since mean and SD are in error to the extent that
the successive intervals on the scale are not equal in size or not equal in distance. However,
Muraki (1990) observed that if the data fits the Polytomous Rasch Model and fulfill the
strict formal axioms of the said model, it may be examined as a basis for acquiring interval
level approximates of the continuum. Chien-Ho Wo (2007) examined that transformation of
scale data based on Snell‘s (1964) scaling procedure does not do much to pass the normality
test. From item response theory, it can be seen that even large ordinal scales can be radically
nonlinear.
NOMINAL DESCRIPTION
Suppose there are n number of respondents who answered each of the m-items of a Likert
questionnaire where each item has k-numbers of response categories. Let Xij be a general
element of the basic data matrix of order n X m where n-individuals are in rows and m-items
are in columns. 𝑋ij represents score of the i-th individual for the j-th item. Value of 𝑋ij
ranges between 1 to k i.e. 1 to 5 for a 5-point likert scale
Note sum of the scores of all respondents for the j-th item (Item Score for the j-th item)
Sum of the scores of all the items for i-th individual i.e. total score of the individual
(Individual score)
∑∑Xij = Sum of scores of all the individuals on all the items i.e. total test score
In addition, one can have another matrix (( ij )) of order m X k showing frequency of i-th
item to j-th response category. A row total will indicate frequency of that item and will be
equal to the sample size (n). Similarly, a column total will indicate total number of times
that response category was chosen by all the respondents. Grand total will be equal to
sample size X number of items (𝑚n).
RESULT
Here we have used Pearson‘s correlation test for the study in which correlation means that
the data in which measures of two variables is secured is called bivariate data. Its essential
feature is that one measures can be compared with another term of positive or negative
relationship which is known as correlation. Its value ranges from -0.01(perfect negative
correlation) to +0.01(perfect positive correlation). When both the variables change in same
direction, i.e. when both increase and decrease the relationship between the two variables is
called positive or direct. But when, the change is in opposite directions, i.e. One is
increasing and other is decreasing, the correlation is negative or inverse.
Analysis
There are two methods of correlating variables i.e., product moment correlation and rank
order correlation. In this study product moment method of correlation has been used which
is also called Pearson's r. The correlations have been computed between various values of
the college students and their college types, college environments and home environments.
Regression analysis could be a powerful method that permits you to look at the link between
2 or additional variables of interest.
While there square measure many varieties of multivariate analysis, at their core all of them
examine the influence of 1 or additional independent variables on a variable.
Regression analysis could be a reliable methodology of distinguishing that variables have

impact on a subject of interest. the method of performing arts a regression permits you to
with confidence verify that factors matter most, that factors will be unnoticed, and the way
these factors influence one another. In order to know multivariate analysis absolutely, it‘s
essential to understand the subsequent terms:
• Dependent Variable: this is often the most issue that you‘re making an attempt to
know or predict.
• Independent Variables: These square measure the factors that you just conjecture
have a bearing on your variable. In our application coaching example higher than,
attendees‘ satisfaction with the event is our variable. The topics coated, length of
sessions, food provided, and also the value of a price ticket square measure our
freelance variables.

GRAPHICAL REPRESENTATIONS
Graphical presentation gives a visual presentation of the phenomenon. It is used in research
work for visual presentation and analysis of the data. Graphical representation of the data
has also been done because it often facilitates understanding of a set of data. In this study
column/ bar diagrams have been used which is a type of graph in which class intervals are
represented along the horizontal axis and their corresponding frequencies by areas in the
form of rectangular vertical bars drawn the intervals. Comparative means of various values
of college students of first year Undergraduate and first year Postgraduate have been shown
through bar diagrams in this study.
SCATTER PLOT
Scatter plots is called as scatter graphs which are similar to line graphs. A line graph uses a
line on X-Y axis to plot a continuous function, while scatter plot uses dot to represent
individual pieces of data. In statistics, these plots are used to see whether the two variables
are related to each other. Scatter plots square measure necessary in statistics as a result of
they will show the extent of correlation, if any, between the values of ascertained quantities
or phenomena (called variables). If no correlation exists between the variables, the points
seem at random scattered on the coordinate plane.
We can classify scatter diagrams in some ways:

According to the correlation, you'll divide scatter diagrams into the subsequent categories:
1. Scatter Diagram with No Correlation
2. Scatter Diagram with Moderate Correlation
3. Scatter Diagram with sturdy Correlation
ADVANTAGES OF SCATTER PLOT

• It shows the link between two variables.
• It is the simplest methodology to indicate you a non-linear pattern.
Analysis
• The vary of knowledge flow, just like the most and minimum price, will be
determined.
• Patterns area unit simple to look at.
• Plotting the diagram is easy.

GENDER DIFFERENCE
The perspective of gender looks at the impact of gender on people‘s interaction,
opportunities and social roles. The origination of gender although in objective of biological
divergences which goes too far beyond the biological and physiological specifications of the
two sexes in the terms of the role each is expected to play.
Gender reactions are consequently outlines because the specific mechanisms where by
totally different cultures verify the functions and responsibilities of every sex. They
conjointly verify access to resources, like education, a lot of passing resources like power.
Gender analysis also helps in finding the social lias among females and male, which helps to
understand and view the perspective of influences and also other views about self- analysis.
Here we compare each variables with the gender- male and female to accurately assess the
gender difference altogether in their career action, career decision- making self-efficacy and
in the family influence via psychosocial support in career basis.
Analysis
GRAPH 4-GRAPHICAL REPRESENTATION SHOWING GENDER DIFFERENCE ON

CAREER-DECISION MAKING SELF-EFFICACY.
This bar graph clearly shows the variation in both female and male in career decision-
making self- efficacy
Here, 1 refers to ‗female‘

2 refers to ‗male‘.
Career decision-making self-efficacy is an ability of an individual to choose and make

decision on his or her career by himself or herself. Here it is proven that career
decisionmaking self-efficacy is high in male than in female, not a high range of difference
but a slight difference shows that male‘s career decision-making self-efficacy is high
compared to female.
Here the total value is kept to be 75 whereas female has scored 60 and male has scored more
than 65 less than or equal to 75. Gender does significantly has an effect on self-efficacy
strength. This somehow interprets that male tend to have more self-efficacy in the basis of
career than female.

This graph exactly shows that family influence on the basis of psychosocial support is
slightly higher in female than in mail just shows that highly influenced by the psychosocial
support than male this clearly interprets that alternate hypothesis H1 c is accepted therefore
there is a significant difference between gender on the basis of psychosocial support which
is an variable of family influence. Psychosocial support on the family is equal among male
and female there is only negligible difference in which female has scored high.

OF FAMILY INFLUENCE ON THE BASIS OF PSYCHOSOCIAL SUPPORT.
Analysis
Family influence on career action means that Parents and guardians influence the level of
education or training that their children achieve and also the knowledge and the perspective
they have about work and different occupations; the beliefs and attitudes they have torking;
and Also motivation they have to succeed, these also affects Career decision making
selfefficacy of an individual.
This bar graph exactly shows that family influence on the basis of career action is higher in
female than in male. This shows that female is highly influenced by family influence on the
basis of career action than male. This clearly shows that it is an alternate hypothesis H1b is
accepted therefore there is a significant difference between genders on the basis of career
action which is a variable of family influence. In country like India family decision is a
predominant one is accepted by every individual in that acceptance more than male most
other female tend care more about the families‘ decision. In turn affects their own Career
life and also the effects in their own capabilities on career decision- making.
DISCUSSION
The main purpose of this study was to identify and examine the relationship between family
influence and Career Decision- Making Self-Efficacy of first year Undergraduate and Post
graduate students from various colleges in and around Tamilnadu. This study examines the
relationship between family functioning and Career Decision-Making Self-Efficacy how
areas of family correlate with student‘s confidence in career decision- making.
The main purpose of this study is for the examination of the unique effects of family
influencing dimensions on Career Decision-Making Self –Efficacy. Finally, the study also
resulted in the findings of family influence dimensions on Career decision Making Self
Efficacy among students by Gender difference both via psychosocial support and their
career action.
A total of 300 students of first year Undergraduate and Postgraduate were selected using
Non Probability Purposive Sampling. The instruments used for this study are Parent Career
Behaviour Checklist questionnaire and Career decision-making self-efficacy questionnaire
developed by Betz and Taylor.
Responses of the students to the demographic questionnaire and the standardised

instruments namely Parent Career Behaviour Checklist questionnaire and career Decision-
making self efficacy questionnaire were coded and processed using SPSS, frequencies and
percentages are noted and reported. Standard deviation and mean score were computed for
the total participants on the basis of family subscales and 5 career decision making
subscales.
Pearson correlation was used to examine the relationship between family influence subscales
and careerdecision making self – efficacy subscales. To interpret the unique effect of
family influence and Career Decision- Making Self- Efficacy subscales. To interpret the
unique effect of family influence and Career Decision-making Self-efficacy, linear
regression was used and treated with separate variable. To assess the difference between
genders in this study Bar graph was plotted to find the deviation.
The first hypothesis shows that there is a significant relation between family influence and
Career Decision- Making Self-Efficacy. The result has proved that there is a significant
Analysis
relation between family influence and Career Decision- making self-efficacy using
correlation method. So, the hypothesis is accepted.
The second hypothesis shows that there is a significant relation between Family Influence
and Gender. The result has proved that there is a significant relation Family influence and
gender in which the values in correlation method are lesser than significant value p= (0.001).
So, the hypothesis is accepted.
The third hypothesis shows that there is significant relation between Career Decision
Making Self-Efficacy and Gender. The result has proved that there is significant relation
between and Career Decision Making Self-Efficacy and Gender in which the values in
correlation method are lesser than the significant value p= (0.001). So the given hypothesis
is accepted.
The Mean, Standard Deviation and Range of descriptive statistics were calculated using
SPSS Statistics 16.0. Pearson‘s correlation coefficient was conducted to examine the
correlatory relationship between independent variables and a dependent variable. In this
study, the dependent variable was the career decision-making self-efficacy. And independent
variables were Family influence and multiple family variables (i.e., age, gender). All
independent variables were treated as one set and entered into the grouping variables at
once. Because this procedure allows researchers to assess how well the dependent variable is
predicted from each independent variable, from an independent variable above and beyond a
group of independent variables, and from all independent variables.
Major assumptions of correlations were checked to be satisfactory throughout analysis. A

predetermined criterion of a .05 significance level was used, which is common in
educational/ psychological researchers use for clear appropriate result. A correlational
coefficient with two or more collinear variables will produce errant results. Therefore, a
collinearity test was conducted to show if two or more independent variables contained
strongly redundant information and to provide with good interpretation.
Parent Career Behaviour Checklist scale is a family influence scale in career Decision-
Making Self -Efficacy is a measurement tool developed to measure the family‘s impact on
the Career Decision-Making Self-Efficacy of individuals and is based on information about
individuals. The scale used is a Five Point Likert Scale. The higher the score, the higher the
family influence on Career Decision-Making Self-Efficacy. The one-dimensional
Cronbach‘s alpha coefficient of the present study was determined as 0.851, which shows this
questionnaire is high in reliability and validity.
Career Decision-Making Self-Efficacy Scale is the scale which is used to find the individual
self-efficacy in the field of decision making on career. The total score that can be obtained
from shows that if the score is high the self-efficacy is high in other manner if the score is
low the self-efficacy is low among individuals. A high score obtained from the scale shows
that students have high career decision-making self-efficacy, and therefore they consider
themselves capable of making career decisions. The one-dimensional Cronbach‘s alpha
coefficient of the present study was determined as 0.974, which shows that the questionnaire
is high in reliability and high in validity.
Analysis
Family influence is one of the most crucial mechanisms during career decisions. We found a
significant negative relationship between family influence and CDSE. Most of the literature
considers family as a coping mechanism during career decisions, and family influence has a
slight or negligible positive association with Career decision making self efficacy via
psychosocial support attitudes towards essential decisions of their children enable children
to perceive their support and overcome the challenges during the process. Trying to provide
support without any coercion may contribute to children‘s correct career decisions but their
own career decision-making self-efficacy is being drastically reduced. Another factor
affecting career decision-making self-efficacy is the family influence via career action,
which was found to be negatively significant in our study. Career action is another aspect
that influence career decision-making self-efficacy, and experiences, abilities, and
competencies acquired among students are ideally integrated into CDSE. The finding of
family influence being associated with career decision-making self-efficacy is inconsistent
with the current literature. Career process and career decision-making self-efficacy is very
vital for the entire life course since they empower individuals to make decisions and cope
with challenges.
CONCLUSION
This study is for the examination of the relationships between family variables and the
career decision-making self-efficacy contributes to the understanding of adolescent career
decisionmaking process, and, in particular, college students who is doing their first year
under Graduation and first year post graduation The findings demonstrate the influence of
family on career decision-making self-efficacy, which are consistent with the literature and
theories that projects the importance of career decision-making self-efficacy in one's career
choices. The questionnaire were filled by the primary year UG and PG understudies of the
varied colleges in and around Tamilnadu locale and by applying test like unwavering
quality, factor examination and relapse the knowledge was broke down. it's been inferred
that Career higher cognitive process Self-efficacy is reliant upon the Family Influence.
There is a negative effect of family impact on the profession dynamic in UG and PG
understudies in Indian setting. Directly from the earliest start line Indian families pick the
training type gave to their kids. Families assume a major job while deciding on selecting
profession choice within the understudies. This research is useful for the scholars to decide
on the correct career because parent perception of their children‘s interest, skills and their
specific expectation of their child‘s success can influence their beliefs and choices in career
action.
Parents and the guardians help increments there inclusion then career decision -making
selfefficacy and diminishes. In the end, guardians gave structure or backing or inclusion.
This is apparent as understudies discover more trouble in distinguishing a parent who is
generally engaged with the way toward recognizing a significant and choosing a career path.
It is not, at this point of dynamic commitment in the process, but as detailed by students,
they appear to be a hands-off way to deal with the professional advancement. Accordingly, a
significant number of the understudies who reacted are not very stiff about their major or
their profession choices. Eventually, the choice cycle is almost left with the understudy, yet
direction is certainly required. Guardians provide that profession and academic direction will
be given to the understudy from their instructors during their course enlistment.
Understudies in the long run leave the lobbies of their auxiliary training foundations are still
in an essential formative cycle. The sort of parental contribution may appear to be unique
across sex and it is also proven that there exists gender differences on the all basis on
Analysis
family's influence via psychosocial support, family's influence in career action and
individuals career decision making self-efficacy, because one's ability is very vital in one's
life importantly on career basis because it is the one which shows the life path of an
individual.
STRENGTHS
1) Family is the basic provider of social support for students. So this study examined
the role of family influence in student‘s career choice whether it is in positive
manner or in negative manner.
2) This study is used to analyse themselves and to introspect themselves, they can
understand about their self- efficacy.
3) This study is used to examine the student‘s self- efficacy whether it is low or high, so
that the students can boost their self -efficacy if it is low because the decision about
career has to be choose by students by the means of their interest and their aptitude
skills.
4) There are certain assessments and questionnaires in order to examine their various
aptitudes and their interest.
LIMITATIONS
1) Socio - economic status of the family was not taken into account which is one the
major drawback.
2) Careers of parents were not included in demographic details, which assess the
parent‘s educational background.
3) The data collected was in and around Tamil Nadu only.
4) This survey of the questionnaire has a drawback on the whole because the whole
question was based on the 5- point Likert scale which asked participants only to
choose among them and didn't make the participant to make any comment about or
on the questionnaire which they might have felt like saying from their part, this one
also can be the major drawback.
5) The other drawback is that this project was constrained to first year UG and first year
PG students so that the results and conclusion of the project do not give a generalized
thought among college students for every other years who were not taken into
account. So that it gives a specific idea and not a generalized thought among college
students.
FUTURISTIC APPROACH OF THE STUDY

This research tells how students are getting influenced by their family members in career
decision-making self-efficacy.
This research can create awareness in future generations in many ways.
• It can help students to analyse their field of interest and choose effectively with a
futurist view and job opportunities.
• It can highly create a change in parent‘s thoughts and ideas. This study may create
understanding between student and parent. And make their parent understand that
their career is completely his/her own choice.
• It also creates a realisation in students that parents are only to guide and support their
children not to completely enforce their ideas and thoughts into them.
Analysis
• The guidance of a parent also works only when the parent is educated and has a prior
knowledge about the specific field. Or only he/she is able to analyse and make
decisions abruptly.
• This also conveys that a parent must understand the feelings of their children and
behave in a friendly way which would be easy for children to share their views
without any fear or hesitation.
• Further this research can also be included in many other aspects like socioeconomic
status, cultural diversities, high and low levels of education among parents.
• This research also creates a huge introspection that is self-actualization about
themselves and make them overcome the confused and unstable state of mind and
gives a clear solution about the selection of career. At least the future generations
must have some clear cut idea about what they must be choosing in their future.
• And they must realise that once choose cannot be changed. Even if there is a chance
to change there would be a waste of time.
• Career decision-making also creates stress among student and also family members
as there would be difference in opinions which would lead to a drastic confusion in
their path.
Family influence may be in and out that is not only the parents it may be other family
members. The most common influence from family side is other students who completed
their graduation or who are currently pursuing a course, the parent and family would suggest
and insist us the same thing and pressurises us to pick the same field.
And most of the boys and girls has been put into a situation where they are the one who are
responsible for their family‘s well-being and survival. This is where due to some family
situations and circumstances they are made to choose a field which would have more scope
and huge job opportunities. And in this aspect both boys and girls may also be affected in
two different ways:
1) Boys are the one who must be heading and leading a family in a peaceful manner.
Peace comes in our life only if the survival is to a certain level. The basic needs of
the family must be fulfilled by the person who takes responsibility. In most of the
families boys are put in this situation but now it‘s more common to see girls also.
This heavy barriers in this life decides which path to choose accordingly.
2) For girls the aspect of marriage life parent insist their child to continue their
education only to a certain period of time and even if the girl is interested to study
further and gain job she will not be able to do that. This aspect for girls mostly
happens in India and with Indian patents.
