“…Barreto & Aiello-Vaisberg, 2007;Nepomuceno & Witter, 2010;Ojeda, Creutzberg, Feoli, Melo, & Corbellini, 2009). In this regard, some instruments were developed to evaluate career choice, such as the "Study Choice Task Inventory" (SCTI) (Germeijs & Verschueren, 2006), "Career Maturity Inventory, " "Career Development Inventory," and "My Vocational Situation Scale, " used by Hirschi and Läge (2007), and the "Career Decision Difficulties Questionnaire" (Gati, Krausz, & Osipow, 1996). These authors aim to determine which factors lead students to pursue a career in accounting, since the decline in educational qualification of accountants is a matter of concern (Chen et al, 2008;Sugahara et al, 2006Sugahara et al, , 2008.…”

This research aims to grasp which factors influence the generation Y to choose accounting as its career. A significant decline in the number of candidates willing to pursue a career as accountant has been observed abroad - USA, Australia, and Japan. However, in other countries - Brazil, Singapore, and Hong Kong - the opposite has been observed. Another issue is the decline in educational qualification of those pursuing an accounting career, contributing in a way that many talented students change their career choice. This may be explained by the fact that people tend to believe accounting is an exact science, full of calculations, boring, and not very creative, bringing an unbalance between the traits an individual should have according to the job market and those perceived by society. In order to give a contribution to literature concerning the factors that influence the generation Y in its career choice, a goal of this research was conducting an exploratory study where some hypotheses were formulated to support the discussion. We used Mannheim's Generational Theory and the literature on career choice. Data collection was carried out using a questionnaire, based on Schwartz's Portrait Value Questionnaire and Germeijs and Verschueren's Student Choice Task Inventory, adapted through focus group interview. Data were fully collected online and the sample consisted of 665 subjects. The results showed that people who chose accounting as their career were influenced by factors such as creativity, independence, challenging and dynamic environment, job security, money-making, job availability, and other significant people - friends and teachers. The subjects were not influenced by social factors, such as working with people and making contributions to society and family. They wish for more autonomy, creativity, and flexibility at work, and people still care about job security and money-making.

Abstract. Self-efficacy has an important role in career decision making. To get an accurate student's profile of career decision making self-efficacy, required a good instrument. Unfortunately, there was only one instument of career decision-making self-efficacy and there was no improvement or current development. That instrument developed using classical test theory, an approach that had been criticized, especially about raw score and data interval. This study focused on career decision making self-efficacy scale's development using Rasch model, an approach that had more advantages compared with classical test theory. The subjects were 144 students of grade 11 in Yogyakarta. Based on the analysis results using Winsteps program, there were 20 fit items (from 36 items) with Alpha reliability coefficient was 0,91. Overall, it can be concluded that the career decision making self-efficacy scale had been proven as a good instrument because had good psychometric properties. So in future, this instrument can be used for assessment and research.Keywords: carrer decision making, rasch model, self-efficacy, test development Abstrak. Efikasi diri dalam pengambilan keputusan karier berperan penting dalam pembentukan perilaku pengambilan keputusan karier siswa. Untuk mendapatkan gambaran akurat tentang efikasi diri dalam pengambilan keputusan karier siswa diperlukan alat ukur yang berkualitas. Sayangnya, baru ada satu instrumen efikasi diri dalam pengambilan keputusan karier dan belum pengembangan terkininya. Instrumen itu pun dikembangkan menggunakan pendekatan teori tes klasik, suatu pendekatan yang telah dikritik terkait skor mentah dan keintervalan data. Penelitian ini berfokus pada pengembangan skala efikasi diri dalam pengambilan keputusan karier siswa menggunakan model Rasch, suatu pendekatan yang dipandang memiliki keunggulan dibandingkan teori tes klasik. Partisipan penelitian adalah 144 siswa kelas XI SMA di Yogyakarta. Berdasarkan hasil analisis menggunakan program Winsteps, diketahui ada 20 aitem (dari 36 aitem) yang memenuhi indeks ketepatan butir-model, dengan koefisien reliabilitas alpha 0,91. Secara keseluruhan, dapat disimpulkan bahwa skala efikasi diri dalam pengambilan keputusan karier ini memiliki properti psikometris yang baik sehingga dapat digunakan untuk asesmen maupun penelitian.Kata kunci: efikasi diri, model Rasch, pengambilan keputusan karier, pengembangan alat ukur 1 Korespondensi mengenai isi artikel ini dapat dilakukan melalui: difa.ardiyanti@psy.uad.ac.id
