Abstract
Autistic traits refer to specific characteristics associated with individuals on the
autism spectrum and also in the general population. Examining autistic traits in the
general population is crucial as it can shed light on the differences between autistic
and non-autistic individuals. Moreover, understanding the distribution of autistic traits
within different environments and settings can help develop targeted strategies to
support individuals with specific needs related to levels of these traits. The present
study aims to investigate how autistic traits impact career self-efficacy among
undergraduate students in a local university in Malaysia. Additionally, the study
explores whether sources of career self-efficacy and the university's service quality
play a role in shaping career preparation among students. The study employed four
instruments, namely Autism-Spectrum Quotient Short (AQ-Short), Career Exploration
and Decision-Making Learning Experiences Scale, Higher Education PERFormanceonly
(HEdPERF), and Career Decision Self-Efficacy-Short Form (CDSE-SF) to
collect the data from 1344 science and social science undergraduate students in a
public university in Malaysia. The undergraduate students were invited to participate
in the online survey, via a stratified sampling technique. The research entailed
descriptive and inferential analyses, uncovering a significant relationship between
autistic traits, sources of career self-efficacy and career self-efficacy for both high and
low autistic traits groups.
