“…According the PWT, those who suffer from economic problems have great difficulties in making career-related choices. The proposed theoretical relationship has been empirically supported thus far [25,26]. Therefore, the study put forward the first hypothesis: Hypothesis 1 (H1).…”

“…Similarly, those who have economic difficulties also tend to have fewer career-related psychological resources that could be utilized to address career-related exploration and implementation. To date, this theoretical assumption has been partially confirmed [25], with a few exceptions [26]. Therefore, the study proposed the second hypothesis: Hypothesis 2 (H2).…”

“…Economic constraints is defined as the few economic resources such as household income and family wealth that make it difficult for people to get decent work [8]. In a recently published article, Duffy et al further explained this concept and proposed a scale that is more suitable for what they intend to measure [26]. The economic constraints in the PWT mainly refer to the economic constraints across an individual's entire life; instead of that at the present time (e.g., current income and financial difficulty for the time being) [27].…”

Marginalization refers to derogating a person (or a group of people) to a less powerful status in society [8] and mainly focuses on discriminating experiences within a particular domain, due to certain social status, such as gender and ethnic identity [26].…”

Drawing on the psychology of working theory (PWT), the present study was performed to evaluate the predictor session of the PWT and career exploration behavior with a sample of Chinese nursing college students from diverse backgrounds. The research employed a cross-sectional research design and 854 nursing students were recruited from one health vocational college situated in Northwest China. Structural equation modeling was utilized to conduct the analysis; confirmatory factor analysis and structural model testing were performed accordingly. Moreover, mediation analysis that used bias-corrected percentile bootstrapping method and moderation analysis were carried out in accordance. Overall, most of the proposed direct paths were significant, but the mediation results were mixed. Proactive personality simply moderated the impact of economic constraints on career adaptability. The results suggest that PWT is applicable to nursing college students and the model is generally supported in the Chinese context. It is the first empirical work that used this model among nursing college students and future decent work perceptions contributed another important antecedent of career exploration behavior. The practical implications based on these findings are provided as well.

On the basis of the psychology of working theory (PWT; Duffy, Blustein, et al., 2016), we tested a moderated mediation model with subjective social status, work volition, proactive personality, and decent work as variables. Data were collected from 225 South Korean employees (115 women, 110 men). Results indicated that work volition mediated the relation between low subjective social status and decent work. In addition, proactive personality moderated the link between low subjective social status and work volition. Further analysis revealed that the indirect effect of social status on decent work via work volition was conditional upon proactive personality; that is, the indirect effect was weaker for individuals with a higher level of proactive personality. These results provide an application of the PWTbased model in a South Korean context. Future research could include samples from marginalized populations and additional constructs (e.g., career adaptability, human need satisfaction) of PWT.
