Abstract
This study investigated the relationship between protean career orientation and career decidedness and the mediating roles of career adaptability and career decision self-efficacy in a sample of Iranian agriculture university students (N = 210). The results indicated that protean career orientation was positively related to career adaptability and career decision self-efficacy. The results also revealed that career decision self-efficacy played a mediating role in the relationship between protean career orientation and career decidedness, whereas no such mediation effect was observed for career adaptability. Additionally, career adaptability and career decision-making self-efficacy sequentially mediated the association between protean career orientation and career decidedness.
