Copyright © Society for Science and Education, United Kingdom 268 Millennials’ Career Decision-Making Difficulties (CDMD) IN Indonesian University Students Erni Murniarti Educational Management Program, Universitas Kristen Indonesia Lydia Irene Siahaan Communication student, Telkom University ABSTRACT Though millennial has unique characteristics as digital natives who prefer to interact with images, branded goods, to have idols and who are interested in modern technological utilization, studying their career decision-making difficulties (CDMD) is barely reported in Indonesia. To respond to such gap, the current report was designed to pattern the CDMD of both male (N = 120) and female (N = 140) undergraduate students in Indonesia. The instrument of the research was totally adopted from Gati et al's. (1996) career decision-making difficulties questionnaire. Descriptive anaylsis showed that the male (M = 4.93) have higher difficulties than the females (M = 4.85). With different levels of difficulties, the current study, therefore, corresponds to Mau's (2004), Guan et al's. (2015), and di Fabio, Palazzeschi, Levin, Levin, and Gati's (2015) reports. Keywords: career decision-making difficulties, Indonesian university students, millennial INTRODUCTION Prior to job performance, job seekers, fresh graduates, and undergraduate students need to decide a preferred job type. Aside from the development of the effectiveness and efficiency of career counseling (Gati & Levin, 2014) performed by professionals, it is due to the fact that the career decision is significant for individual and society (Gati, Krausz, & Osipow, 1996). It is also because people with good career plans are more likely to have lower career decision-making difficulties (henceforth CDMD), and higher career decision-making self-efficacy and vocational decision-making style (Amir & Gati, 2006). Regardless of extensive study on the CDMD pioneered by Gati, Krausz, and Osipow (1996), it is certain to conclude that people are more likely to have different levels of the CDMD, and are monitored by various variables across countries. Mau (2004), for example, studied the CDMD of White, African, Hispanic, and Asian American high school and university students in U.S. It was reported that Asian Americans outperformed career decision-making difficulties, and White American perceived the fewest obstacles. Compared to Americans, Guan et al. (2015) emphasized that Chinese undergraduates had a better ability in consulting, desire to please others, willingness to compromising, dependence, procrastination, and have lower aspiration for occupation, internal locus of control, and decision making. In light of the Chinese consulting with others, Willner et al. (2015) reported that it is used to reduce the CDMD. Moreover, di Fabio, Palazzeschi, Levin, Levin, and Gati, 2015) claimed that for Italian young adults, university students are more likely to have less developmental career indecision that of high school students and on-the-job training (OJT) interns.
