The Influence of Self-Efficacy and Social Support on Career Anxiety among Students of the Faculty of Economics and Business, Siliwangi University

This study aims to analyze the influence of self-efficacy and social support on career anxiety among final-year students at the Faculty of Economics and Business, Siliwangi University. Career anxiety is a psychological condition characterized by feelings of anxiety, worry, and uncertainty about one's future employment after graduation. The research method used is a quantitative approach with a survey design. A sample of 279 respondents was selected using simple random sampling. The data collection instrument was a questionnaire with a Likert scale, while data analysis was performed using multiple linear regression with the help of SPSS version 26. The results showed that the variables of self-efficacy and social support had a significant effect on career anxiety, both partially and simultaneously. Students with high self-efficacy and strong social support tend to have lower levels of career anxiety. These findings emphasize the importance of internal and external factors in reducing students' career anxiety and provide implications for universities to develop career guidance programs that focus on increasing self-efficacy and strengthening social support in the academic environment.
