Abstract

The current study examined the role of career adaptability and academic self-efficacy as two potential mediators between hope, future work self, and life satisfaction. A total of 636 Chinese vocational high school students completed measures of hope, future work self, career adaptability, academic self-efficacy, and life satisfaction. The results indicated that: (a) hope, future work self, career adaptability, and academic self-efficacy were positively related to life satisfaction; (b) the effects of hope and future work self on life satisfaction were mediated by career adaptability or academic self-efficacy; (c) more hope and clearer future work self were associated with greater career adaptability, which related to higher academic self-efficacy; ultimately, higher academic self-efficacy was related to higher life satisfaction; (d) males tended to report more hope, greater career adaptability, higher academic self-efficacy, and higher life satisfaction than females. These findings contribute to a comprehensive understanding of the factors that intervene in vocational high school students' life satisfaction and enrich theoretical implications about career adaptability.

职业高中学生希望、未来工作自我与生活满意度:职业适应性和学业自我效能感的作用

本研究考察了职业适应性和学业自我效能在希望、未来工作自我和生活满意度之间的中介作用。636名中国职业高中学生完成了希望、未来工作自我、职业适应能力、学业自我效能感和生活满意度的测量。结果表明:(a)希望、未来工作自我、职业适应性、学业自我效能感与生活满意度呈显著正相关;(b)希望和未来工作自我对生活满意度的影响受职业适应性和学业自我效能的中介作用;(c)未来工作自我越希望、越清晰，职业适应能力越强，学业自我效能感越高;最终，较高的学业自我效能与较高的生活满意度相关;(d)男性比女性更有希望、更有职业适应能力、更高的学业自我效能感和更高的生活满意度。本研究有助于全面了解职业高中学生生活满意度的影响因素，丰富职业适应的理论内涵。

期刊介绍： Personality and Individual Differences is devoted to the publication of articles (experimental, theoretical, review) which aim to integrate as far as possible the major factors of personality with empirical paradigms from experimental, physiological, animal, clinical, educational, criminological or industrial psychology or to seek an explanation for the causes and major determinants of individual differences in concepts derived from these disciplines. The editors are concerned with both genetic and environmental causes, and they are particularly interested in possible interaction effects.
