Civic purpose refers to a sustained intention of citizens to contribute to the common good and represents an indicator of civic development during emerging adulthood. Conceptualized as a manifestation of idealized personhood within the positive youth development framework, civic purpose is expected to develop from internal developmental assets that individuals possess, including moral identity. This study examined the role of moral identity on civic purpose among emerging adulthood, with moral self-efficacy as a mediator. A quantitative study was employed through an online survey. A total of 361 Indonesian citizens aged 18-29 years (Male = 95, Female = 266) completed a questionnaire consisting of demographics, civic purpose scale, moral identity scale and moral self-efficacy scale. Mediation analysis was conducted and showed that moral identity plays a positive role on civic purpose through moral self-efficacy. The findings highlight the importance of fostering the internalization of moral values into personal identity and moral self-efficacy to enable citizens to develop civic purpose during emerging adulthood.
