Validation of the Career Adapt-Abilities Scale and an examination of a model of career adaptation in the Philippine context

Perceived organizational career management and career adaptability as predictors of success and turnover intention among Chinese employees

“…Career adaptability has been established as an important individual predictor for positive career outcomes, such as promotability (Tolentino, Garcia, Restubog, Bordia, & Tang, 2013), employment status (Guan, Deng, Sun, Wang, Cai, Ye et al, 2013; Career Adaptability and Success 6 Guan, Guo, Bond, Cai, Zhou, Xu et al, 2014), job performance (Yu & Zheng, 2013) and career satisfaction (Zacher, 2014). In this study, we propose that career adaptability will predict Chinese employees' salary, career satisfaction and turnover intention, even after controlling for the effects of perceived organizational career management.…”

Career-specific parental behaviors, career exploration and career adaptability: A three-wave investigation among Chinese undergraduates

The current research addressed this gap by testing the roles of career-specific parental behaviors in shaping the career adaptability of Chinese undergraduate students.…”

The relation of career adaptability to satisfaction and turnover intentions

“…CA means "the readiness to cope with the predictable tasks of preparing for and participating in the work role and with the unpredictable adjustments prompted by changes in work and working conditions" (Savickas, 1997, p. 254). CA is also theorized as an array of behaviors, competencies, and attitudes that people use in matching themselves to a job that fits them as well as the ability of a person to navigate career role transitions (Tolentino et al, 2013).
