Career Self -Efficacy of Undergraduate Students in Science Technology Engineering Mathematics (STEM)

: Career self-efficacy is an individual's ability to identify the potential for systematic career planning. This study aimed to identify the level of career self-efficacy, differences self -efficacy in the field of study and differences in self-efficacy between genders among STEM students. This study was conducted using a combination of descriptive and inferential type study design to 1632 undergraduate students in a Public University. The findings of the study show that the level of career self-efficacy among STEM students is high. There are significant differences between fields of study for career self-efficacy (F (1632) = 14.515, p <0.05), while there was no significant difference between genders for career self-efficacy, t (1632) = 0.060, p <0.05. The results of this study clearly show that STEM fields of study influence students career self -efficacy. The implications of the study make it clear that STEM students need to be focused in decision making to improve career self-efficacy. The suggestion for further study is to expand the study location and make comparisons in several educational institutions.
