Investigating the Linkage Between Proactive Personality and Social Support on Career Adaptability Amidst Undergraduate Students

“…It was found that proactive personality and social support has a positive significant relationship and correlation with career adaptability. This result is supported by previous researches (Cai et al, 2015;Creed et al, 2009;Ebenehi et al, 2016;Guan et al, 2017;Hirschi, 2009;Işik, 2013).…”

“…Likewise, career adaptability has been researched to be positively related with proactive personality (Cai et al, 2015;Guan et al, 2017Guan et al, , 2015 and Social support (Creed, Fallon, & Hood, 2009;Ebenehi et al, 2016; Ute-Christine Klehe, Jelena Zikic, Annelies E. M. van Vianen, 2015).…”

“…Rudolph et al, (2016) further explained that individuals differ in their willingness (i.e., adaptivity) and ability (i.e., adaptability) to engage in positive career-related behaviors (i.e., adapting). These adapting behaviors, inherently lead to the successful integration of the self into the work role which is an adaptation results from the prediction of career adaptability (Guan et al, 2017). This ultimately indicates the poor adaptive state of fresh graduates from the universities that lack the zeal to successfully integrate themselves into the work role which ultimately leads to increased joblessness.…”

“…This could be the transfer of enhanced traits in these youths which will lead to career adaptability and smoothen school to work transition. Guan et al, (2017) opines the importance of using basic traits to predicting career adaptability. Furthermore, he suggested the replication of basic traits studies in other cultural background to ascertain its consistency over different cultural background among university students.…”

Will concerns for ski tourism promote pro‐environmental behaviour? An implication of protection motivation theory

“…To be specific, three criteria were used to test the mediation effect: (i) the effect of independent variable (previous knowledge) on mediators (perceived vulnerability, perceived severity, response efficacy_ general, response efficacy_ ski, response cost, and self‐efficacy) should be statistically significant; (ii) mediators affect dependent variable (behaviour intention), controlling independent variable (previous knowledge); (iii) the indirect effect through mediators should be significant in the bootstrapping test. Test based on these three criteria was proved to be valid in previous studies (e.g., Guan et al, ). We firstly conducted hierarchical regression analysis to examine the first two criteria, then we used PROCESS procedures in SPSS to examine the third criteria.…”
