The purpose of this research was to study the factors that affect students᾽ (8-12 grads) career development in Isfahan. The statistical population of this research includes 8 to 12 grade participants who were 721 students. The NEO-Five Factor Inventory (NEO-FFI), Career Development Inventory-Australia-short form, Skill Confidence Scale, Parent Support Inventory, Career Decision-Making Scale, Career Decision-Making Self-Efficacy Scale, Self Esteem Questionnaire and Strong Interest Inventory were used. The results showed that the effects of career decision-making self-efficacy, parent support and artistic interest were positive and the effect of indecision on career development was negative. Results showed that the effect of career decision-making self-efficacy on career development was more than the effect of other variables. The effect of parent support on career development was more than the effect of artistic interest. In addition, the results indicated that self efficacy had significant effect on interest. Finally, the results showed that neuroticism positively and conscientiousness and openness to experience negatively affected indecision.
