<![CDATA[Abstract. The esports industry is one of the fastest-growing industries, opening up new career opportunities for students in emerging adulthood and career-determining stages. However, many remain uncertain about their career paths, including amateur esports players who are considering pursuing a career as a professional esports athlete. This calls for career decision-making self-efficacy, a factor influenced by social support from family, friends, and significant others. This study aims to determine the extent to which social support and its dimensions influence career decision-making self-efficacy among amateur esports students in Bandung. The sample consisted of 389 respondents collected using convenience sampling. The instrument used to measure social support was Zimet's (1988) Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support, adapted from Sulistiani et al. (2022), Taylor and Betz's (1983) Career Decision-Making Self-Efficacy–Short Form instrument was adapted by Purnama & Ernawati (2021) to measure career decision-making self-efficacy. The analysis technique used was multiple regression. The results showed a simultaneous positive effect of social support on Career Decision-Making Self-Efficacy, with a contribution of 15.1%. Separately, family support had the largest influence, at 21.8%, followed by friends at 20.9%, and significant others at 11.1%. Abstrak.
