Abstract

Objective of this research was to verify the relationship between the internal locus of control
and social support from family variables with the career maturity variable among 12th grade
vocational students. I proposed 3 hypotheses. Firstly, there was positive correlation between
the internal locus of control and the student’s career maturity. Secondly, there was positive
correlation between the social support from family and student’s career maturity. Thirdly,
there were positive relationship between those two independent variables and the career
maturity variable. The data were collected through 3 scales i.e. internal locus of control,
social suppor7 from family, and career maturity. Sixty vocational students participated in this
research. They were recruited through the cluster random sampling technique. This research
revealed that the first hypothesis was accepted, rxy = .639, p = .00. The second hypothesis was
also accepted, rxy = .474, p = .00. The third hypothesis was accepted, F = 23.408, p = .00, R2 =
.451. Two suggestions at the discussion session were addressed either to the G & C teacher
at the vocational school or parents in order to prepare student’s career maturity readiness.
Key words: Locus of control, social support from family, career maturity.
