ANALISIS TEORI PERENCANAAN KARIER: KRUMBOLTZ

Abstract

Unemployment in Indonesia, particularly among vocational and higher education graduates, indicates a significant skill gap between graduates' competencies and dynamic labor market demands. This necessitates adaptive career guidance approaches. This article analyzes the application of Krumboltz's Social Learning Theory of Career Decision Making as a relevant intervention. The study employs a descriptive qualitative approach through a systematic literature review of national journal articles published between 2021-2025. Data were sourced from Garuda, Google Scholar, and other accredited journal portals, using keywords such as "Krumboltz theory," "career guidance," and "education". Thematic content analysis was conducted to identify patterns, contributions, and challenges in applying the theory. The review reveals that Krumboltz's theory effectively enhances students' career readiness, cognitive flexibility, and self-efficacy in navigating uncertainties. This approach encourages students to become active agents who learn from experience and adapt to change. Furthermore, Krumboltz's theory aligns with reflective education principles and Islamic spiritual values like ikhtiar (effort) and tawakal (trust in God), allowing for contextual integration into more humanistic and transformative career guidance services.
