This research aims to determine the relationship between self-efficacy and career decision making. The research was conducted using quantitative correlational methods, subjects were recruited using accidental sampling techniques and found 300 final year students in Central Java with 61% female subjects and 39% male subjects. The measuring instruments used are the General Self Efficacy Scale (GSES) and the Career Decision Making Proficiency Scale (CDMPS). Based on data that has been processed using the Spearman rho correlation test, it is stated that there is a significant positive relationship between self-efficacy and career decision making in final year students in Central Java with a value of r = 0.172 and sig. = 0.001, which indicates that the higher the self-efficacy, the higher the career decision making. This emphasizes the importance of the relationship between self-efficacy and career decision making, by motivating students and convincing students in their career choices, which increases confidence in the career choices they choose.
