Abstract :

A total of 335 Lower Six students from schools in Terengganu were selected using purposeful sampling method as the respondents in this study. This study was conducted using a survey method with three sets of questionnaires, namely Parenting Style Scale, Scale of Emotional Intelligence, and Scale Career Self Efficacy-Simplified version. The data were analyzed descriptively using mean and percentage alongside the inference analysis that was based on correlation and regression. The findings of this study indicated that there was a significant positive correlation between parenting style and emotional intelligence with teenagers’ career self-efficacy.
