<![CDATA[ABSTRACT Career decision-making is an important developmental task that twelfth-grade students need to accomplish when determining their future educational pathways or entering the workforce. In this process, the alignment of perceptions and expectations between adolescents and their parents regarding careers, known as Adolescent-Parent Career Congruence (APCC), is presumed to support students’ career decision-making abilities. This study aimed to examine the relationship between Adolescent-Parent Career Congruence (APCC) and career decision-making among twelfth-grade students at senior high schools in Java, Indonesia. This study employed a quantitative approach with a correlational design. The participants were 420 twelfth-grade senior high school students in Java, selected using purposive sampling. Data were collected using the Career Decision-Making Scale and the Indonesian version of the Adolescent-Parent Career Congruence Scale. The data were analyzed using the Pearson Product-Moment correlation technique. The results revealed a positive and statistically significant relationship between APCC and career decision-making (r = 0.432; p < 0.001). APCC accounted for 18.7% of the variance in career decision-making. Thus, higher career congruence between adolescents and their parents was associated with better career decision-making abilities among students. These findings highlight the importance of communication and alignment of career perspectives between students and their parents in supporting career decision-making during the transition to higher education or the workforce ABSTRAK Pengambilan keputusan karier merupakan salah satu tugas perkembangan penting yang perlu diselesaikan siswa kelas XII dalam menentukan pilihan pendidikan lanjutan maupun memasuki dunia kerja. Dalam proses tersebut, kesesuaian persepsi dan harapan antara remaja dan orang tua terkait karier atau Adolescent-Parent Career Congruence (APCC) diduga berperan dalam mendukung kemampuan siswa mengambil keputusan karier. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui hubungan antara Adolescent-Parent Career Congruence (APCC) dengan pengambilan keputusan karier pada siswa kelas XII Sekolah Menengah Atas (SMA) di Pulau Jawa. Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan kuantitatif dengan desain korelasional. Subjek penelitian berjumlah 420 siswa kelas XII SMA di Pulau Jawa yang dipilih menggunakan teknik purposive sampling. Pengumpulan data dilakukan menggunakan Skala Pengambilan Keputusan Karier dan Skala Adolescent-Parent Career Congruence versi Bahasa Indonesia. Data dianalisis menggunakan teknik korelasi Pearson Product Moment. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa terdapat hubungan positif dan signifikan antara APCC dan pengambilan keputusan karier (r = 0,432; p < 0,001). APCC memiliki koefisien determinasi sebesar 18,7% terhadap variasi pengambilan keputusan karier. Dengan demikian, semakin tinggi kesesuaian karier antara remaja dan orang tua, semakin tinggi pula kemampuan pengambilan keputusan karier siswa. Temuan ini menunjukkan pentingnya keselarasan komunikasi dan pandangan karier antara siswa dan orang tua dalam mendukung proses pengambilan keputusan karier pada masa transisi menuju pendidikan lanjutan atau dunia kerja.]]>
