This study investigates the impact of teacher support, math self-efficacy, and math interest on career intention on the validity of the theoretical model that the researcher proposed. There were , participants drawn from a pool of eighth grade students from the Trends in International Mathematics and Science Study (TIMSS) database in 00. The results revealed the following: (1) Teacher support not only influenced math self-efficacy and math interest directly, but also had indirect influence on career inten- tion through math self-efficacy and math interest. (2) Math self-efficacy had direct ef- fects on math interest and career intention, and it also had indirect influence on career intention through math interest. (3) Math interest influenced career intention directly. (4) The theoretical model proposed in the study had a good model-data fit. Finally, the detailed results and suggestions for further research and implementation are discussed.
