碩士 === 國立屏東大學 === 教育心理與輔導學系碩士班 === 105 === The purpose of this study was to explore the relationship between university students’ perceived parent expectation, career self-efficacy and career decision, and the difference in the perceived parents’ expectation, career self-efficacy and career decision of university students with different background variables. A further exploration was made on the intermediary effect of career self-efficacy between perceived parent expectation and career decision. In this study, 780 freshmen and senior students in the southern region were used as the study objects. The questionnaire method was used for the research, and the research tools were “Career Decision Scale”, “Perceived Parent Expectation Scale” and “Career Self-Efficacy Scale”. The data obtained were analyzed with t-test, single-factor variance analysis, hierarchical regression and path analysis. The results are as follows: 1. University students of different genders had significantly different perceived parent expectations and career decisions. 2. University students of different grades had significantly different perceived parent expectations. 3. University students of different work-study experiences had significantly different career self-efficacies. 4. In the hierarchical regression analysis, the effect of career self-efficacy on career decision was significant. 5. The results show that university students perceive parents expect had a certain degree of intermediary effect on their career decision through career self-efficacy. In a further review of the Career Decision Scale, it was found that university students perceive that parents expect had a complete intermediary effect on their career decision through career self-efficacy. The discussion in this study is based on the research findings and results, and the study provided recommendations for follow-up researchers, parents, and facilitators.
