The purpose of this study is to enrich career guidance for current aviation service major undergraduate students who will be the future driving force of the aviation industry. The study aims to seek out social and institutional support that can effectively promote career preparation and self-efficacious career decision for undergraduates as well as to establish educational and practical guidelines and resource for future career guidance. Drawing on previous literature on the four variables of social support, selfefficacious career decision, career preparatory behavior and the career deciding stage, this research constructed a research model based on a survey targeting undergraduates studying aviation service. The survey and analysis resulted partial confirmation of the first hypothesis, which predicted the positive impact of social support on self-efficacious career decision. The second hypothesis on the positive impact of social support on career preparation and the third hypothesis on the impact of self-efficacious career decision on career preparatory were both partially confirmed. There is a gap in research addressing career-related factors and social support of undergraduates studying a specific major. As undergraduates advance into industries, it is critical to survey and measure the impact of career-related variables on the individual and social level so that industries can reasonably respond and provide support to the upcoming labor force.
