“…First, this study examines a new antecedent of the career plateau. Although the importance of career adaptability in the career development process is well acknowledged (e.g., Sibunruang, Garcia, & Tolentino, 2016;Urbanaviciute, Kairys, Pociute, & Liniauskaite, 2014), how it may influence career plateau issues, particularly the job content plateau, is not known. The exploration of career adaptability as a potential antecedent of the job content plateau serves as a basis for identifying new approaches to understand and address employees' plateau status in the career development journey.…”

This study is the first to test career adaptability as an antecedent of the job content plateau. Based on career construction theory and person-environment fit theory, it examined the mediating effects of person-job fit and person-organization fit on the relationship between career adaptability and the job content plateau. Results from 270 full time workers showed that employees with higher levels of career adaptability were less likely to experience job content plateaus. Partial mediating effects were found for both person-job fit and personorganization fit. Specifically, career adaptability firstly led to increased person-job fit and person-organization fit, which in turn resulted in decreased job content plateaus. Additional analyses showed that the mediating effect of person-job fit was stronger for female than for male employees. This study identified a new antecedent (i.e., career adaptability) of the job content plateau and revealed the functional mechanism underlying the effect of this antecedent. It offers innovative and useful insights for career management practice.

“…Third, it emphasizes personal initiative and is responsible for one's career construction, which is in accordance with the reality of the modern world, as well as the latest theoretical approach to career development.

“…Theoretically, each serves as a basis for developing individual strategies that facilitate in handling various job tasks or acting flexibly (Urbanaviciute et al, 2014).

“…Adaptation (contrary to adaptivity) should be seen as a self-regulation capacity rather than a core personality trait. Looking from a theoretical point of view, career adaptability can be placed between constructs that reflect a personal agent or perceived ability to achieve one's life goals Urbanaviciute et al, 2014). Based on the model of career construction theory, people build careers using adaptive strategies that apply their personality in work roles.…”

Abstract. Late adolescence or by the age of 20, adolescence enter during the transition to early adulthood. One of the developmental tasks experienced by individuals during this period is the establishment of career identities. In an effort to meet the establishment of identity is required career adaptability. Career adaptability is a psychosocial construct that shows individual resources to overcome and anticipate tasks, transitions, traumas in job roles, to some degree large or small, that alter the social integration of individuals. Based on the theory of career construction, the authors conducted a literature review of 16 journals on empirical studies of factors that cause career adaptability and its influence in the educational context. The results show that career adaptability is associated with multiple demographic factors (age, gender), career adaptivity (conscientiousness, positive emotional disposition, belief in ability, future orientation, hope, optimism, adversity quotient and self-regulation), and external factors (social support parents, family support, school environment). The success of career adaptability in the educational context is associated with life satisfaction, sense of power, career management, career certainty, classroom involvement, academic achievement and academic fatigue. The main findings are career adaptability influenced by demographic factors, career readiness: internal factors (personality) and individual external factors. Career adaptability leads to positive and negative effects on the individual in the educational context.
