Abstract

People in their 20s are surely no strangers to the term Quarter Life Crisis, which becomes the most difficult period in life. This age usually has many opportunities and responsibilities to explore careers and personal lives. Sometimes a person can still choose what is more suitable for themselves, even if it means going against other choices. The doubts that arise at this age are varied, ranging from self-doubt, adaptation, skills, abilities, and much more that are inherent to a person, which is indeed no longer an easy matter. The multitude of inner turmoil will make someone dizzy, stressed, and even decide to choose not to choose anything at all. The purpose of this research is to determine whether there is a relationship between career decision-making and Quarter Life Crisis in Generation Z. This research uses a correlational quantitative approach. The subjects of this research are individuals from Generation Z, specifically those aged 18 to 21 years, who are currently enrolled in the Guidance and Counseling (BK) Department, Faculty of Teacher Training and Education (FKIP), class of 2023, University of Borneo Tarakan (UBT). A total of 54 students. The data analysis technique used is the Pearson Product Moment correlation with the Jamovi version 2.3.28 software. The results of the Product Moment (Pearson) correlation test obtained a correlation coefficient (r) value of 0.318 with a significance value of 0.000
