The
aim of the present study is to identify the factors influencing the career
aspiration of the students in Jashpur district of Chhattisgarh state in India.
Data were collected from (N = 1000, Age = 15 to 18 years) higher secondary
school going students. Student’s gender (Male and Female), Birth category (Tribal
and Non-Tribal) and parental involvement were taken as the independent factors
to predict their career aspiration. Hierarchical multiple regression model was
used to analyze the results. Results of the study revealed that the birth
category of the adolescents significantly predict the career aspiration (F (1,997)
= 13.271, p<0.05). However, gender and parental
involvement of the students didn’t show any significant influence on the career
aspiration of the students. Implications and future directions of the study
were also discussed.
