Abstract
The purpose of this study was to examine how children's and parent's self-esteem relates to children's career maturity. Furthermore, this study explored how their influences would differ depending on gender. Data from 302 elementary school students in grades 4, 5, and 6 who participated in the 10th year survey (2015) were analyzed to verify structural relationships including multi-group path analysis by gender. Results were as follows: First, children's self-esteem (${\beta}=.519$, p<.001) statistically significant positive influences their career maturity as well as their father's (${\beta}=.247$, p<.01). However, mother's self-esteem (${\beta}=-.086$, p>.05) did not have a significant influence on their children's self-esteem. Second, the results of the multi-group path analysis showed that there was no gender differences among relationships. This study showed the importance of providing educational and counseling support to increase children's and father's self-esteem.
