Abstract
Career orientation plays an important role in determining a student's future employment status. However, little is known about the extent to which parent and counselor roles influence the career orientation of their students or children. This study examines the influence of adolescent-parent career congruence and the role of guidance counselors in career orientation. The Adolescent-Parent Career Congruence Scale, Counselor Role in Vocational Guidance Scale, and Career Orientation Inventory Scale were used for data collection. This study selected a sample of 278 students, aged 15-18 years old, using a purposive sampling technique. The participants all attended Senior Secondary School or Vocational High School in Jakarta, Indonesia. Multiple regression and Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) were performed to analyze the data. The results of multiple regression analysis indicate that both adolescent-parent career congruence and role of guidance counselors have a significant positive correlation with student career orientation. This study has practical implications for school counselors who provide vocational guidance services to students.Keywords
