Abstract

Career construction theory proposes that high career adaptability leads to positive adaptation outcomes during career transition. However, the specific pathways of how this happens remain underexplored. Drawing on the career construction model of adaptation, we hypothesized that career decision-making self-efficacy mediates the link of career adaptability with vocational identity clarity and life satisfaction as two measures of adaptation outcomes. We conducted a three-wave survey with an initial sample of 3126 Czech upper-secondary vocational graduates transitioning from vocational school to the labor market. Structural equation modeling revealed that career decision-making self-efficacy fully mediated the relationship between career adaptability before graduation and vocational identity clarity 20 months later. In contrast, the mediation effect of career decision-making self-efficacy on the relationship between career adaptability and life satisfaction was not supported. Additionally, in contrast to the previous literature, career adaptability was not directly related to vocational identity clarity and life satisfaction. Nevertheless, our findings demonstrated a positive long-term association of career adaptability with adaptation outcomes within the working life domain. Practical implications and future directions are discussed.

职业毕业生职业适应性、职业决策自我效能感、职业认同清晰度与生活满意度的纵向研究
职业建构理论认为,高职业适应性会导致职业转型的积极适应结果。然而,这种情况发生的具体途径仍未得到充分探索。利用职业适应的职业建构模型,我们假设职业决策自我效能在职业适应与职业认同清晰度和生活满意度之间的联系中起中介作用。我们对3126名从职业学校过渡到劳动力市场的捷克高中职业毕业生进行了三波调查。结构方程模型显示,职业决策自我效能感完全中介了毕业前职业适应性与20个月后职业认同清晰度之间的关系。而职业决策自我效能感在职业适应性与生活满意度之间的中介作用不被支持。此外,与以往文献相比,职业适应性与职业认同清晰度和生活满意度没有直接关系。然而,我们的研究结果表明,职业适应性与工作生活领域的适应结果存在正相关。讨论了实际意义和未来发展方向。

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.
