<![CDATA[Abstract: This research examines the influence of peer groups in determining student career life. By using a quantitative approach, we aim to investigate the role of peer groups in Generation Z’s career exploration to respond to work transitions. The subjects of this study were 72 vocational high school students. Data collection was carried out using the Peer Group and Career Exploration scales which were developed by adapting the Likert scale. Our analysis results suggested that peer groups carry 57 percent effects on the participants’ career exploration of students. In addition, the results of the Pearson correlation test also showed a 0.755 correlation coefficient between the peer group and career exploration, indicating a strong correlation between the peer group and career exploration. Therefore, the higher peer group support increases the students’ career exploration abilities and vice versa. The influence of the peer group on career exploration ability is classified into a strong category. Abstrak: Penelitian ini mengenai peran teman sebaya (peer group) dalam menentukan kehidupan karier siswa. Metode penelitian menggunakan pendekatan kuantitatif yang bertujuan untuk mengetahui peran peer group terhadap eksplorasi karier generasi Z dalam merespon transisi kerja pada peserta didik. Subjek penelitian ini adalah 72 siswa SMK. Pengumpulan data dilakukan dengan skala Peer Group dan Eksplorasi Karier yang dikembangkan dengan mengadaptasi skala model Likert. Berdasarkan hasil penelitian dapat disimpulkan bahwa peran peer group dalam eksplorasi karier peserta didik sebesar 57 persen. Selain itu, hasil uji korelasi pearson diperoleh nilai koefisien korelasi antara peer group dengan eksplorasi karier sebesar 0,755. Angka ini menunjukkan korelasi yang kuat antara peer group dan eksplorasi karier. Hal itu berarti semakin tinggi dukungan teman sebaya (peer group) maka akan semakin tinggi pula kemampuan eksplorasi karier peserta didik, begitu pula sebaliknya. Besar pengaruh peer group terhadap kemampuan eksplorasi karier termasuk dalam kategori kuat.]]>
