Abstract

The pandemic effect of COVID-19 triggered a global recession in the year 2020. The unpredictability that surrounds the coronavirus is the most challenging problem that many people must confront, particularly in terms of making decisions regarding their careers, considering the significant shift in employment opportunities. The purpose of this research is to investigate the influence anxiety and the Covid-19 pandemic have on work values and the reality of career choices among university students. A quantitative research methodology was applied to 110 respondents from a nearby institution to achieve the study's objective. This was done through online surveys and the snowball sampling technique. In order to acquire the findings, a data analysis using SPSS and PLS-SEM was carried out. It is evident from the study's findings that students’ work values are impacted by anxiety and the COVID-19 pandemic. Moreover, the findings support the hypothesis that anxiety and the COVID-19 pandemic influence students’ employment decisions. The findings of the study provide insight into the body of knowledge. The influence of anxiety and the COVID-19 pandemic on current work values among university students about career choices are examined, and recommendations are made to various stakeholders, such as policymakers, university management, and career counselors.
