Abstract

This research has purposed to understand correlation between internal locus of control and career maturity at grade XII students in SMK N 4 Purworejo. High internal locus of control student when faced with made choice of career, so student tried to look for information about job, identified and try to increase his capability, and also tried to solve problem about career selection. Career selection has determined by student career maturity. Instruments that used in this research are Career Maturity Scale (consist of 35 item, rix = 0,920) and Internal Locus of Control Scale (consist of 38 item, rix = 0,942). Both of that scale have trial run to 50 students of grade XII at SMK N 4 Purworejo. Research samples are 33 students of grade XII at SMK N 4 Purworejo that gain from proportional random sampling technique. Building on regression analysis, acquired correlation coefficient value (rxy) have had 0,549 (p < 0,05). That means, there are significant and positive correlation between internal locus of control and career maturity, which indicated that higher internal locus of control so higher career maturity had by students. The other way, lower internal locus of control so lower career maturity had by students. Effective contribution internal locus of control with career maturity is 30,2%, whereas 69,8% contribution gain from other factors that influence career maturity, such as family, social – economy background, gender, age, intelligence and special talent, career interest, self esteem, and personality. Result from this research showed that most of research samples (63,64%) have highly career maturity and most of them have (45,46%) highly internal locus of control.
