Research Instruments include on Career Adaptability Questionaire (CAQ) (Cronbach’s α = .996) and the personality section that included emotional intelligence (Cronbach’s α = .971), self-efficacy (Cronbach’s α = .952), and social support (Cronbach’s α = .951). This study employed a questionnaire survey with a total of 304 students invited to complete the questionnaire. All responses were submitted electronically. SPSS statistical software was analyzed using Correlation Analysis and Multiple Stepwise Regression Analysis. Results found that personality and career adaptability have a significant positive correlation (r=0.936). Emotional intelligence, Self-efficacy, social support and career adaptability have a significant positive correlation (r=0.971, 0.960, 0.946). The regression coefficients show that emotional Intelligence (Beta=0.497), self-efficacy (Beta=0.254), and social support (Beta=0.177) have a significant positive impact on the dependent variable (p < 0.001). Personality (Beta=0.065) and the constant term did not reach a significant level (p > 0.05), and their theoretical necessity or measurement reliability and validity may need to be re-evaluated. This findings open several avenues for further academic inquiry into the development of career adaptability among adolescents.
