Abstract
The phenomenon of car dependence among individuals has been causing problems in various
cities in Indonesia. The main objective of this exploratory study is to unveil the psychosocial
and demographic factors that are deemed to be the predictors of individuals’ dependency on
personal cars. The application of the conceptual model of this study surpasses the rational and
logical explanation, especially among the middle-high or above class of young professionals
growing up in big cities. Quantitative method approach was used on the participants living in
Jakarta, Yogyakarta, and Surabaya, which are the representatives of well-known big cities in
Indonesia. The data were collected through survey in psychological scales and demographic
questions. The result of this study are as follows: 1) Instrumental uses of one’s personal car use
seems to be stronger than symbolic and affective meanings; 2) Intention to reduce the use of
personal car plays a huge role to mediate the relation of car-use problem awareness and car
dependence; 3) Gender is the only demographic characteristics that shows participants’ car
dependence differences; Results and limitations of this study are discussed within the
implication for theoretical and practical uses in Organizational Behavior studies
