The present study aimed to explore the moderator role of career decision making self-efficacy in the relationship between intolerance of uncertainty and resilience of university students in Turkey. Sample has been comprised of English language preparatory school and undergraduate students of a state university. Participants were between the age of 18 and 28 (M = 20.65, SD = 2.26). There were 569 participants (348 women, 221 men) in the study. Data was collected via career decision making self-efficacy scale, resilience scale for adults, intolerance of uncertainty scale and demographic information form. Cross-sectional design has been used. Preliminary analysis, Pearson Product Moment correlations, independent sample t-test, one way MANOVA and moderator analysis with PROCESS Macro have been conducted. Results showed that career decision making self-efficacy has a moderator role on the relationship between intolerance of uncertainty and resilience. Moreover, the only significant difference among groups was on the career decision making self-efficacy scores between males and females. The results were discussed relating to the existing literature. Recommendations for future research and implication were presented.
