ABSTRACT Changes in communication and information technology encourage the dynamics of the increasingly complex world of work, characterized by increasing career uncertainty and demands for technology mastery, this condition requires graduates to have career adaptability. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to analyze the influence of the influence of internal locus of control, adversity quotient, employability skills, and social support on career adaptability with career self-efficacy as a mediating variable in economic education students of Semarang State University. This research method uses a quantitative approach with the Structural Equation Modeling–Partial Least Square (SEM-PLS) method. The research data was obtained through the distribution of questionnaires to UNNES Economic Education students and analyzed to test the direct and indirect relationship between variables. The results of the study showed that internal locus of control, adversity quotient, employability skills, and social support had a positive and significant effect on career adaptability. In addition, career self-efficacy has been proven to have a positive and significant effect on career adaptability and is able to mediate the influence of internal locus of control, adversity quotient, employability skills, and social support on career adaptability. Based on these results, the conclusion in this study is that increasing student career adaptability needs to be done through strengthening personal factors, work readiness competencies, social environment support, and students' confidence in their abilities in facing career tasks and challenges.
