Özet:

Career decision that shapes the way of life is one of the most important decisions a person can make in his life. Career decision starts and ends only at the moment of the choice of a profession, from the time the individual is born to death. There are many factors that influence this process. Some of these factors include abilities, interests, values, psychological needs, gender, socio-economic level, qualification expectancy, leadership of success and family relationships. The family factor, which has significant influences as in many areas of these factors, can also shape the career development process in the individual’s life. The fact that families know what their children can change positively and negatively in their lives, the attitude they show to influence their children in a positive direction and make the right career decisions, and the role model they are to them will enrich their children’s career development. Therefore, being aware of the children’s attitudes and behaviors appropriate for their career development will positively affect their children’s career development. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to study the family factor in the individual's career development through the relevant literature. According to the results of research in Turkey and abroad, families have found that individuals are an important factor in their career planning processes, career choices, career preferences, career uncertainty, difficulties in making career decisions and in enriching their career development. It has also been found that families have an impact on children’s proper assessment of themselves, their career research behaviors, their more realistic decisions, and their professional maturity levels. It also focuses on recommendations to families in Turkey on their children’s career development.
