Abstract: Purpose: This study aimed to analyze the simultaneous relationships between a set of predictor variables (career adaptability, career decision self-efficacy, major relevance, university life satisfaction and social support) and a set of response variables (career exploration activities and career decision-making). Design/methodology/approach: A sample of 514 students at K University in Seoul, South Korea, participated in this study. Multivariate and multiple regression analyses were conducted. Findings: The regression results showed that the overall effect of the set of predictor variables on the set of response variables and the slopes of the regression lines for career exploration activities and career decision-making (subfactors of career preparation) differed, indicating that the predictor variables influence these subfactors differently. Originality/value: This research found that university students' career decision self-efficacy was the most influential variable on both career exploration activities and career decision-making.
