To explore the influencing factors and mechanism of career decision making self-efficacy of college students, the research uses PGIS-Ⅱ, Future Time Perspective Scale, Academic Engagement Scale, and Career Decision Making Self-efficacy Scale to investigate 148 college students. The results show that PGI, career decision making self-efficacy, future time Perspective, and academic engagement are significantly positively correlated; future time perspective and academic engagement play a mediating role between PGI and college students' career decision making self-efficacy; PGI significantly predicted career decision making self-efficacy through the chain mediation of future time perspective and academic engagement.
