Career maturity and career adaptability among vocational high school students: a moderated mediation model of future time perspective and future work self
摘要
This study examines future work self as a mediator and future time perspective as a moderator in the relationship between career maturity and career adaptability, from both theoretical and empirical perspectives. A sample of 636 Chinese vocational high school students was investigated. The results indicated that career maturity was associated with a clearly envisioned future work self, which in turn was related to high career adaptability. The interaction effect of career maturity and future time perspective was significantly associated with career adaptability. These results offer valuable insights for career development among vocational high school students.
