Abstract

We applied the social cognitive model of career self-management (CSM) to the study of proactive career behavior, referring to workers’ active attempts to guide their own career development. Within the CSM framework, proactive behavior is conceived as a key agentic ingredient linking cognitive, social, and personality mechanisms with a variety of career advancement and sustainability outcomes. A sample of 511 early to mid-career adult workers in the U.S. completed an online survey including measures of proactive career behavior, self-efficacy, and outcome expectations; proactive personality; supervisory support; and three positive career self-management outcomes (perceived career success, growth in work rewards, and job marketability). We tested measurement and structural models, respectively, examining the factor structures of, and hypothesized paths among, the constructs. These models offered good overall fit to the data and were found to be invariant across gender. We consider the implications of the findings for future inquiry on career sustainability from a social cognitive perspective.

主动职业行为社会认知模型的检验

我们将职业自我管理(CSM)的社会认知模型应用于主动职业行为的研究，主动职业行为是指员工主动尝试引导自己的职业发展。在CSM框架内，主动行为被认为是连接认知、社会和人格机制与各种职业发展和可持续性结果的关键代理成分。美国511名职业生涯早期到中期的成年工作者完成了一项在线调查，包括积极的职业行为、自我效能和结果预期;积极主动的个性;管理支持;以及三个积极的职业自我管理结果(感知职业成功，工作奖励增长和工作市场化)。我们分别测试了测量模型和结构模型，考察了构式的因素结构和构式之间的假设路径。这些模型提供了良好的整体拟合数据，并发现在性别之间是不变的。我们从社会认知的角度考虑这些发现对未来职业可持续性研究的意义。

期刊介绍： The Journal of Career Assessment publishes methodologically sound, empirically based studies focusing on the process and techniques by which counselors and others gain understanding of the individual faced with the necessity of making informed career decisions. The term career assessment, as used in this journal, covers the various techniques, tests, inventories, rating scales, interview schedules, surveys, and direct observational methods used in scientifically based practice and research to provide an improved understanding of career decision-making. The focus is not just testing, but all those means developed and used to assess and evaluate individuals and environments in the field of career counseling and development.
