Data was collected by questionnaires from 380 students at 3 universities in Jeonnam province and Gwangju city, Korea. The results were as follows. First, the average levels of social support, self-efficacy and career decision were over middle point(2.5point). The best of them was self-efficacy. Second, the lowest level of them by grade was commonly freshman female students. But there were no significant differences by major except for soczzzzzial support. Third, the effective sub-variables of social support which have influenced on career decision level were self-esteem support and evaluated support. Forth, the impactive sub-variables of self-efficacy which have influenced on career decision level showed general self-efficacy.
