<![CDATA[Career anxiety among university students is commonly associated with external factors such as job readiness and environmental pressure. However, the role of internal aspects, particularly spiritual well-being, has not been widely explored. In fact, an individual’s ability to find meaning in life and deal with uncertainty may influence their level of anxiety. This study aims to examine the effect of spiritual well-being on career anxiety among students across different semesters. This study employed a quantitative approach with a survey design involving 230 university students. Data were collected using the Spiritual Well-Being Scale (SWBS) and the Career Anxiety Scale (CAS). The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, Pearson correlation, and simple linear regression. The results show a significant negative relationship between spiritual well-being and career anxiety (r = -0.300; p < 0.05). Regression analysis indicates that spiritual well-being significantly affects career anxiety, with a contribution of 9%. This means that higher levels of spiritual well-being are associated with lower levels of career anxiety. These findings suggest that spiritual well-being plays a role as an internal factor in helping students manage career anxiety. Therefore, strengthening internal aspects, including meaning in life and psychological balance, is important in student development and counseling practices]]>
