“…However, career identity varied significantly with the time respondents had been in the industry, job seniority, and age [22]. At the same time, some studies have constructed the theoretical model of teachers' career identity and developed the evaluation scale of teachers' career identity in the model construction and scale compilation [23].…”

“…According to the articles search on CNKI and WOS, the research objects of career identity in the field of medicine and psychology are mainly medical students and nurses [35]. The research contents mainly include the status quo of medical students' career identity [36,37], nurses' career identity [24], career success [38], and job burnout [23]. For example, Liu et al's [39] research showed that the overall career identity of nurses was relatively low, and social support had a profound impact on the career identity of nurses.…”

Career identity is one of the important topics to study the psychological problems of employees, especially after the outbreak of CoV-19. Being a populous country in the world, China has a large number of employees from all walks of life, and its research on career identity has attracted more and more attention. Thus, this study aims to sort out the history, characteristics, and trends of the research on career identity in China through a literature review, which can help more scholars pay attention to China's career identity research. In this study, Citespace is used to statistically analyze the selected literature from China's National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI) and Web of Science (WOS). The results show that: (1) The historical evolution of career identity research in China can be divided into three stages: germination, development and maturity. (2) From the perspective of cooperation between authors and institutions, researchers tend to do independent research, mainly focusing on the research in the field of psychology. (3) From the key words, career identity and employability are the main high-frequency words. (4) From the cluster analysis, the research focuses mainly include social support, teachers' career identity, influencing factors, and job involvement. (5) From the emergent analysis, it can be seen that the research on roles and differences between urban and rural areas is weakening, and the research on factors such as job satisfaction is gradually strengthening as the frontier theme. Finally, according to the existing analysis results, this study predicts the future trend of career identity in China and thinks that it will extend from the fields of concept explanation, interdisciplinary research, scientific research tools, and so on.

“…According to expectancy-valence theory (Kominis and Emmanuel, 2007 ) extended by Lewin's (1938) social-behavioral motivation analysis and Tolman's (1951) cognitive-based model of motivation, career calling meant that individuals' work was driven by a deep internal motivation (Duffy et al, 2018 ; Lysovaa et al, 2019 ). This intrinsic motivation can reduce their feelings of burnout (Lian et al, 2021 ). Based on the theory and empirical evidence, this research proposed that burnout among teachers is negatively predicted by career calling.…”

“…Based on the work as calling theory (Duffy et al, 2018 ), calling can represent meaningful experience and positive attitudes toward one's work. Calling comprises positive psychological capability, especially those that manifest positive emotion and attitude (Lian et al, 2021 ). Numerous studies have shown that career calling shows significant positive relationships with psychological capability such as life meaning experience, life satisfaction, and academic satisfaction (Zhang et al, 2013 ).…”

Burnout is a serious problem in the teaching profession. Research suggests that career calling could be regarded as a protective factor against burnout; however, the mediating mechanism underlying this relationship remains to be explored. The purpose of this study was to test the mediating roles of work engagement and teachers' psychological capital. A total of 3,300 teachers completed a self-report questionnaire. Results showed that the relationship between career calling and burnout was mediated by work engagement and teacher psychological capital. These findings provide insights for preventing burnout among teacher groups.

“…Individuals with a school identity have a higher sense of responsibility and academic achievement. A survey by Lian et al (2021) found that school identity significantly negatively predicts learning burnout, and individuals who identify with the school show higher learning enthusiasm and initiative and less learning burnout. School identity is also affected by the school’s psychological environment.…”

Learning burnout is an important indicator that reflects an individual’s learning state. Understanding the influencing factors and mechanism of learning burnout of medical students has practical significance for improving their mental health. This study aimed to explore the mediating roles of school identity and collective self-esteem between school psychological environment and learning burnout in medical students. A total of 2,031 medical students (942 men and 1,089 women, age range: 17–23 years) were surveyed using the School Psychological Environment Questionnaire (SPEQ), School Identity Questionnaire (SIQ), Collective Self-esteem Scale (CSES), and Learning Burnout Scale (LBS). The results showed the following: (1) school psychological environment had a negative effect on learning burnout among medical students (β = −0.19, p < 0.001), and (2) school identity and collective self-esteem played significant mediating roles between school psychological environment and learning burnout [95% CI = (−0.43, −0.31)]. Specifically, there were three paths that school psychological environment and learning burnout: first, through the independent mediating role of school identity; second, through the independent mediating role of collective self-esteem; and third, through the chain mediating roles of school identity and collective self-esteem. The findings reveal that school psychological environment not only directly influences the learning burnout of medical students but also indirectly influences it through school identity and collective self-esteem. Thus, this study has some important implications for prevention and intervention of learning burnout among medical students.
