The choice of a career would serve as a vehicle through which they can pursue their interests and showcase their intelligence and capabilities. Thus, it is imperative that factors that contribute to one's career decicision-making self-efficacy be determined. This study looks into the profile of the respondents in terms of their self-concept, career maturity, parental support and career decision-making self-efficacy as well as the intercorrelations among the variables with the end in view of developing a program that will help them in making wise decisions and lead them to career satisfaction. Two hundred (200) 2nd and 3rd year college students composed of 85 (42%) males and 115 (58%) females, ages 17-24 years old were involved in the study. In these year levels, the students are still allowed to shift programs as they are exposed to general courses only. Descriptive correlational design using Pearson Product Moment Correlation method was employed. Coppersmith Self-Esteem Inventory (CSEI), Career Maturity Inventory-Attitude Scale (CMI-R), Career-Related PArent Support Scale (CRPSS) and Career Decision Making Self-Efficacy-Short Form (CDMSE) were used to gather the data from the respondents. The results revealed that: (a) there is significant correlation between self-concept and career decision-making self efficacy. (b) there is significant correlation between career decision-making self-efficacy and career maturity and (c) there is significant correlation between parental support and career decision-making self-efficacy. Also, a semi-structured interview was conducted among 14 selected college students to determine the importance of self-concept, career maturity, parental support, and career decision-making self-efficacy. These results, most importantly could serve as important reference in the development of a career guidance program aimed at enhancing one's career self-efficacy.
