“…The results of this study are in accordance with previous studies, namely research conducted by (Zulfiani & Khaerani, 2021), which stated that there was no significant difference in career adaptability between men and women. In addition, (Soylu, Siyez, & Ozeren, 2021) states that gender does not affect the development of career adaptability. This is allegedly because the patriarchal culture in Indonesia has decreased, not as thick as before, as evidenced by the number of women who not only act as housewives but also play an active role in their work and careers.…”

Final-year students will experience a transition period from lectures to the world of work. The transition period can be challenging for final students. Unpreparedness in facing the transition period can cause various difficulties for final year students, such as unemployment, turnover, and working in inappropriate fields. In addition, students are in the early adult stage of development and are required to start working and develop their careers. This study aims to determine the relationship between social support and career adaptability by controlling for demographic variables, namely gender, educational background, and socioeconomic status in final-year students. This study used a quantitative approach involving 274 respondents. Data analysis using multiple regression analysis showed that social support (family support, friend support, and significant other support) positively affected career adaptability. Educational background also has a positive influence on career adaptability. Gender and socioeconomic status did not influence career adaptability.

“…Some demographic traits have fallen into high career futures, while most have fallen into moderate career futures. The assertion made by Soylu et al (2021) that people begin to make important decisions for their careers during their college years can be used to corroborate these findings. According to the researchers' conclusions based on the aforementioned study and this study's findings, college students may start to improve their career planning, which may culminate in professional decision-making.…”

The current study aims to identify the relationship between conformity to masculine norms and career futures among college students and to differentiate the variable in terms of the subject characteristics of the participants. The population chosen for the study are college students from selected campuses of National University Philippines. Results indicate that there is a very weak correlation between conformity to masculine norms and career futures. There is also a significant difference in the conformity to masculine norms of college students in terms of sex and college where they belong and there is no significant difference found in terms of career futures.

“…However, no research has evaluated the combined effects of personal traits and work environment on PGI or the moderating effect of work environment on the relationship between personal traits and PGI. Furthermore, the existing research on PGI is mainly concentrated in the fields of education [16], psychology [17] and company management [15]. There are no reports of PGI research on hospital nurses, so little is known about how to develop PGI in this population.…”

Backgrounds Personal growth initiative (PGI) is regarded as a meaningful concept with potential value at both the individual and organizational levels, but little is known about the factors that contribute to nurses’ PGI. This study aimed to explore how proactive personality and hospital work environment affect PGI of clinical nurses. Methods A cross-sectional study was conducted between September and October 2022 among 4414 nurses from 10 tertiary general hospitals in 10 cities in Sichuan, China, using a two-stage sampling method. Self-reported anonymous online questionnaires, such as sociodemographic information survey, personal growth initiative scale II, the 10-item proactive personality scale, and practice environment scale-nursing work index were used to collect data. Multiple hierarchical regression analyses were performed to examine research hypotheses. Results Among the control variables in this study, nurses’ self-perceptions of general health status and professional title positively predicted PGI (β = 0.462, 95%CI = 0.272–0.653; β = 1.078, 95%CI = 0.508–1.648). After adding control variables, both proactive personality (β = 1.143, 95%CI = 1.096–1.190) and work environment (β = 3.391, 95%CI = 2.904–3.879) positively predicted PGI. The work environment positively moderated the association between proactive personality and PGI (β = 0.108, 95%CI = 0.025–0.191). These predictors jointly explained 50.3% of the variance in PGI. Conclusions Nurses with a greater tendency to have a typical proactive personality have higher levels of personal growth initiative, and this positive effect will be better highlighted in a healthier work environment. Nursing managers should prioritize the employment of people with proactive personality traits, focus on the development and stimulation of proactive personality traits in nurses, and establish a supportive work environment to maximize the personal growth initiative of nurses.
