        abstract = {The present study examines the effect of family environment and time management on occupational aspiration among degree students. Occupational aspiration is a crucial psychological factor that influences students’ academic engagement, career planning, and future success. Family environment and time management competencies are considered significant determinants of students’ career-related aspirations. The study adopted a descriptive survey method and employed standardized tools, namely the Time Management Competency Scale by Sansanwal and Meenakshi, the Occupational Aspiration Scale by J. S. Grewal, and the Family Environment Scale by Harpreet Bhatia. Data were collected from a sample of degree students selected through random sampling. Statistical techniques such as mean, standard deviation, Pearson’s correlation, multiple regression, and mediation analysis were used. The findings revealed significant positive relationships among family environment, time management, and occupational aspiration. Further, time management was found to partially mediate the relationship between family environment and occupational aspiration. The study highlights the importance of supportive family conditions and effective time management skills in enhancing students’ occupational aspirations.},
