influence, the influence of school environment (including the characteristics of educators), the transitional situation at school, and self-appraisal skills. Lecturers play important roles for the college students in the process of teaching and learning. To increase the quality of the teaching-learning process in colleges, lecturers are required to enhance their professionalism. The research was aimed to assess the correlation between self-efficacy in college students and college student perception on lecturer professionalism. The research was conducted by college students, batch 2016/2017, Faculty of Psychology, Diponegoro University. There were 175 students distributed in four classes. All classes were selected as the research subjects. Data were obtained using two scales namely EDA (Efikasi Diri Akademik/Academic Self-efficacy) Scale and PTPD (Persepsi Terhadap Profesionalisme Dosen/Perception on Lecturer Professionalism) Scale and were then analyzed using simple regression statistics by means of SPSS Software. The result of the research shows the correlation between self-efficacy in college students and college student perception on lecturer professionalism with the value of r = 0.271 with p = 0.000 (p <.01). The research also indicates that lecturer professionalism contributes 7.3% to self-efficacy in college students.

Career exploration reflects activities conducted to collect information about oneself and potential occupations to become self-aware and understand the job market. Career exploration guides the realization of career aspirations and is thus crucial for young adults. It helps the youth make appropriate career-relevant decisions. However, it is unknown whether career aspirations mediate the links between positive parenting and career exploration activities undertaken by urban third-year undergraduate students. This study aimed to bridge this gap in the literature, and to this end, a survey was administered to 125 third-year undergraduate students attending a state university in Semarang, Central Java. The Career Exploration Scale, Career Aspirations Scale, Positive Parenting Subscale, and questions on demographic characteristics were employed for data collection. Structural equation modeling demonstrated that career aspirations fully mediated the path between positive parenting and career exploration. The findings of this study underline the importance of career aspirations in translating the effects of positive parenting into specific career exploration activities undertaken by college students. Finally, suggestions based on the study results are offered for third-year undergraduate students, parents, and practitioners.
