“…Prior research suggests that social support from others outside of the immediate family also plays an important role in enhancing the career adaptability of people from a refugee background (Dunwoodie et al, 2020). Training programs might consider providing targeted support such as mentoring and career coaching as such programs have been shown in prior experimental studies to foster career optimism among graduates (Ebner, 2021; Spurk et al, 2015). In addition, our results highlight the importance of government efforts and initiatives to settle extended refugee families in common communities, and point to the need for career intervention and support programs to include not only refugee job seekers but also their immediate and extended families.…”

The present study examines the antecedents of the career adaptability of people from a refugee background. Drawing on career construction theory, it specifically examines whether openness to experience fosters career adaptability through enhancing career optimism. In addition, it examines whether family social support moderates the relationship between openness to experience and career optimism, and moderates the mediated relationship between openness to experience and career adaptability through career optimism. Analysis of three waves of data from people from a refugee background seeking employment in metropolitan Australia found support for the hypothesized relationships. In particular, career optimism was found to fully mediate the relationship between openness to experience and career adaptability. In addition, family social support was found to substitute for low levels of openness to experience.

“…The scale was originally developed in German, and a translated English version has been used in previous studies (Spurk et al, 2016), showing good reliability (α = .69, Spurk et al, 2016). An example item is: “I often wonder how my career will develop.” The scale assesses the extent to which individuals feel insecure (secure if reverse coded, see Ebner, 2021) regarding their career endeavors.…”

This study investigates how career empowerment predicts promotive and prohibitive voice behaviors and how career security intervenes in this relationship. The moderating role of bystanders’ direct and indirect intervention behavior is also tested between career security and voice behavior. Three-wave time-lagged data were collected from 267 non-managerial front-line banking employees to test the proposed model. The structural equation modeling (SEM) statistical technique was used for data analysis. The results showed that career empowerment significantly predicts promotive and prohibitive voice behaviors, both directly and indirectly. Furthermore, the direct intervention behavior of bystanders significantly moderates the relationship between career security and both types of voice behavior (promotive and prohibitive). Theoretical and practical implications of the study are discussed.

“…Age, gender, and tenure are usually regarded as control variables in the CO literature. Thus, we expect them to be stable predictors of CO. Age and tenure were found to be positively related to CO (Ebner, 2021; Gunkel et al. , 2010; Olson et al.…”

PurposeGiven its importance, career optimism (CO) has drawn much attention from researchers. Fruitful evidence has been accumulated; unfortunately, a quantitative review is still lacking, which would limit the continuous development of this field. To address this, this paper uses the meta-analysis technology to evaluate the links between CO and its antecedents and outcomes.Design/methodology/approachThis study used Hunter–Schmidt method random effect meta-analysis technology to systematically evaluate the true score correlations between CO and its antecedents and outcomes.FindingsAmong the CO antecedents, this study found significant links between CO and agreeableness (ρ = 0.11), career adaptability (ρ = 0.55), career knowledge (ρ = 0.43), career decision self-efficacy (ρ = 0.52), social support (ρ = 0.30), conscientiousness (ρ = 0.54), extraversion (ρ = 0.38), gender (ρ = 0.07), GPA (ρ = 0.11), neuroticism (ρ = −0.42), and openness (ρ = 0.27). Moreover, among the CO outcomes, significant links have been found between CO and academic satisfaction (ρ = 0.43), career choice satisfaction (ρ = 0.44), career decisiveness (ρ = 0.37), depersonalization (ρ = −0.48), and emotional exhaustion (ρ = −0.59).Originality/valueBy conducting the first meta-analysis of CO, our study contributes to the CO literature. Additionally, our study increases the knowledge of CO, which would help leaders in the school or workplace to understand the significance of CO better and thereby take actions to intervene and increase students or employees' CO.
