Laporan daripada (IPPTN) mendapati bahawa kelemahan dalam diri graduan telah menyebabkan mereka gagal untuk bekerja. 84 orang pelajar kejuruteraan teknikal (28 lelaki dan 56 perempuan) daripada Universiti Teknikal Malaysia Melaka telah menjadi sampel untuk kajian ini. Objektif untuk kajian ini ialah untuk mengkaji hubungan diantara penghargaan diri dan membuat keputusan kerjaya, seterusnya untuk melihat hubungan diantara sokongan sosial dengan membuat keputusan kerjaya dalam kalangan pelajar kejuruteraan teknikal. Kajian ini telah menggunakan alat ujian Rosenberg Self-Esteem Sclae, Interpersonal Support Evaluation List, dan Career Decision-Making Self-Efficacy Scale.

This study comprises of 84 technical engineering students (28 males and 56 females) from Universiti Teknikal Malaysia Melaka (UTeM). The objectives of the study is to analyze the relationship between self-esteem and career decision-making as well as to identify the relationship between social support and career decision-making among technical engineering students. The instruments used in this study were the Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale, Interpersonal Support Evaluation List, and Career Decision-Making Self-Efficacy Scale.
