However, family factors make a great important to the conscientiousness. Though arranging and theoretical exploring related literature about family factors, conscientiousness and career decision-making self efficacy, the study showed that although college students’ life have been changed , family factors may make an indirect effect to the college students’ career decision-making self efficacy though conscientious as a bridge. Because of this, the study puts forward related assumptions and does empirical examinations. Objective: The study adopting stratified cluster random sampling gains 1207 students of four grades as sample who are from three universities, and Adopt the conscientiousness subscale of NEO-PI-R, CDMSE, EMBU and FES-CV to do measurement. Randomly selected 150 freshmen as subjects that is the model construction of sample,1057 students did relevant model examinations for samples. Methods: The statistical method is consisted of single factor analysis of variance, statistical analysis of Bootstrapping and multiple-group defining comparison used by spss12.0 and Amos17.0. Result:(1) In family factors, parental emotional warmth rearing is an argument through mediate variable conscientiousness that makes a stable and lasting effect to career decision making self efficacy which is a dependent variable(ab=.089,p=.002;c’=.116,p<.01). (2) In family factors, intellectual-cultural orientation family environment as adjustable variable to intermediary variable conscientiousness is cooperated with parental emotional warmth rearing which is an argument and through intermediary variable conscientiousness that makes a stable and lasting effect to career decision-making self efficacy which is a dependent variable(λ=.014,p=.012). At present, scholars pay little attention to the family factors. But family makes a difference to individual in the traditional culture of east.
