Abstract

The interplay between academic resilience and career maturity is an area of increasing interest in educational psychology and career development. This systematic review explores existing research across the fields of education, psychology, and career development, this paper provides an in-depth understanding of how students navigate academic adversity, develop resilience, and build career maturity. Academic resilience refers to a student's ability to adapt and thrive in the face of academic challenges, while career maturity involves a student's readiness to make informed and realistic career decisions.The study highlights the impact of academic resilience on career maturity among students, focusing on how perseverance in academics influences their ability to make career decisions. It explores the developmental paths of both academic resilience and career maturity, which are essential for student success in overcoming educational challenges and transitioning into the workforce. The study suggests that academic resilience not only aids in overcoming academic barriers but also supports students in making more informed, realistic, and aligned career decisions and also addresses the implications for educational interventions and career counselling to foster both resilience and informed career choices among students.
