<![CDATA[This study aims to examine the relationship between self-efficacy and career maturity among final-year students of the Psychology Study Program at Universitas Negeri Padang. The research gap lies in the limited number of studies that specifically investigate the relationship between self-efficacy and career maturity among final-year students, particularly Psychology students, who are in the transition phase from academic life to the workforce. This study employed a quantitative approach with a correlational design. The sample consisted of 228 students selected using purposive sampling. Data were collected using Likert scales to measure self-efficacy based on Bandura’s theory and career maturity based on Super’s theory. The data were analyzed using Spearman’s correlation because the data were not normally distributed. The results showed a positive and significant relationship between self-efficacy and career maturity among final-year students of the Psychology Study Program at Universitas Negeri Padang. Thus, the higher the students’ self-efficacy, the higher their career maturity. These findings indicate that strengthening self-efficacy is important in helping final-year students prepare for career planning, career exploration, and career decision-making more maturely.
