Objective To explore the characteristics of parenting style, work values and career
decision making self-efficacy in undergraduates and analyze the relationship among the above
3 variables. Method: Eight hundred and forty-nine undergraduates were selected by stratified
random sampling from 7 universities in Guangdong province. Short-Form Egna Minnen av
Barndoms Uppfostran (s-EMBU), Work Values Scale for College Students (WVS) and
Career Decision Making Self-Efficacy Scale (CDMSES) were administred to them.
Results: ⑴ The score of parental control was at a low level; The scores of parental care, social
promotion, ease and stability, salary and reputation, benifits and welfare, total scores and five
dimensions of CDMSES belong to the medium level; The scores of the other 6 dimensions of
WVS belong to high scores. ⑵ Purposeful values play a partial mediating role in the
relationship between parental care and career decision making self-efficacy, and the mediating
effect accounts for 33.9% of the total effect; Instrumental values play a partial mediating role in
the relationship between parental care and career decision making self-efficacy, with the mediating
effect accounting for 11.1% of the total effect; Work values play a partial mediating role in the
relationship between parental care and career decision making self-efficacy, and the mediating
effect accounts for 30.4% of the total effect. Conclusion: Parental care can not only directly
predict college students' career decision making self-efficacy, but also indirectly affect it through
work values.
