The challenges of the global job market are reflected in South Korea, where job shortages delay students’ graduation, employment, and independence. Consequently, many parents continue to provide academic, financial, and instrumental support to their college-aged children, potentially affecting their career decision-making. This study explores the dual mediating effects of fear of failure and self-efficacy on the relationship between perceived helicopter parenting and career decision-making among Korean college students. Data from 342 students were gathered through a questionnaire assessing these variables. Analysis with SPSS PROCESS Macro revealed significant correlations and confirmed the dual mediation effects. Results suggest that addressing failure experiences in college counseling can enhance career decision-making. By focusing on these mediators, educational institutions can develop strategies to support students’ transition to independence and successful career paths
