Melihat fenomena tantangan dalam pemilihan karier yang secara khas dihadapi oleh mahasiswa atlet, penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menguji perspektif waktu masa depan sebagai moderator dalam hubungan antara identitas atletik dengan efikasi diri dalam pengambilan keputusan karier. Partisipan dalam penelitian ini adalah mahasiswa atlet dari berbagai cabang olahraga yang pernah atau sedang tergabung dalam tim khusus yaitu Tim Klub, Tim Wilayah/Kota, PPLM, Pelatda, dan Pelatnas (N=405). Pengambilan data dilakukan secara daring dengan tiga alat ukur. Identitas atletik diukur menggunakan Athletic Identity Measurement Scale (AIMS), efikasi diri dalam pengambilan keputusan karier diukur menggunakan Career Decision Making SelfEfficacy Scale Short Form (CDSE-SF), perspektif waktu masa depan value dan connectedness diukur menggunakan Future Time Perspective Scale (FTPS). Uji analisis korelasi menunjukkan bahwa identitas atletik berhubungan positif dengan efikasi diri dalam pengambilan keputusan karier, r = 0,384, p < 0,01 r² = 0,147. Hubungan tersebut secara signifikan dimoderasi oleh value (b = .024, SE = .009, 95% CI [.006, .042]) dan connectedness (b = .018, SE = .006, 95% CI [-1.013, -.559]). Dengan kata lain, hubungan antara identitas atletik dengan efikasi dalam pengambilan keputusan karier diperkuat oleh perspektif waktu masa depan dimensi value dan connectedness.

Considering the unique career selection challenges faced by student-athletes, this study aims to examine the role of future time perspective in the relationship between athletic identity and career decision self-efficacy. Participants in this study were studentathletes from various sports disciplines who have been or are currently part of special teams such as Club Teams, Regional/City Teams, PPLM, Pelatda, and Pelatnas (N=405). Data was collected online using three measurement tools. Athletic identity was measured using the Athletic Identity Measurement Scale (AIMS), career decision self-efficacy was measured using the Career Decision Making Self-Efficacy Scale Short Form (CDSE-SF), future time perspective dimensions of value and connectedness was measured using the Future Time Perspective Scale (FTPS). Correlation analysis showed that athletic identity is positively related to career decision self-efficacy, r = 0,384, p < 0,01 r² = 0,147. This relationship is significantly moderated by value (b = 0.024, SE = 0.009, 95% CI [0.006, 0.042]) and connectedness (b = 0.018, SE = 0.006, 95% CI [-1.013, -0.559]). In other words, the relationship between athletic identity and career decision self-efficacy is strengthened by future time perspective dimensions of value and connectedness.
