The purpose of this study was to determine the causal relationship between family support, career self-efficacy, self-esteem and career Decision making self-efficacy on junior high school students in Isfahan.Therefore, 287 male and female secondary school students were selected through cluster random sampling.The instruments were the career decision making self- efficacy questionnaire, the self-esteem scale, the self-efficacy inventory and the family support questionnaire. This research was correlational (a structural analysis).TheData was analyzed with structural equation modeling (SEM), using AMOS-18 and Spss-20. The results of the direct and indirect path analysis showed that third family support, self-efficacy and self- esteem were positively associated with career decision making self-efficacy. The results indicated that self-esteem mediated the relationship between family support, self-efficacy and career decision making self-efficacy. Moreover, there was a positive indirect effect of family support and self-efficacy on career decision self-efficacy through self-esteem. These findings support personal and social variables as being predictive of career decision making self-efficacy and provide career counselors with insight into how to design career interventions for improving high school students’ career decision making self-efficacy. Implications for career counseling and suggestions for future research are discussed.
