This study aims to examine the relationship between career decision making and emotional maturity among senior secondary school students. A total sample of 1044 students of 10+1 class (both boys and girls) from urban and rural areas were drawn from Government Senior Secondary Schools of Punjab under PSEB. The correlation analysis revealed that career decision making and Emotional Maturity are negatively and significantly related to each other. The results suggest that students with higher emotional maturity have better clarity and confidence in making career-related decisions, suggesting that interventions enhancing emotional maturity could enhance their career planning abilities. The findings underscore the importance of addressing gender differences in education and career counseling, particularly for male students who may require additional support in defining their career objectives. Understanding these factors can help inform more inclusive and gender-sensitive career guidance programs aimed at reducing indecision and improving career preparedness among all students.
