ABSTRACT

This study investigated how teacher–student relationships affect career decision-making attitudes among multicultural adolescents, focusing on the mediating roles of self-esteem and achievement motivation. Using data from 1,076 students in the ninth wave of the Multicultural Adolescents Panel Study (MAPS 1st cohort), structural equation modeling and bootstrapping analyses were performed. The results indicated that teacher–student relationships positively influenced self-esteem and achievement motivation, which in turn affected career decision-making attitudes. However, the direct effect of teacher –student relationships was not significant, confirming that their influence operates mainly through psychological resources. These findings highlight the importance of fostering positive teacher–student interactions and enhancing self-esteem and achievement motivation to support the career development of multicultural adolescents.
