“…Next, we found that nursing students with part-time experience were more likely to be in the group with “high perceived professional preparedness”, which is consistent with the findings of several studies [ 15 , 16 ]. Part-time experience can help college students better adapt to their careers and demonstrate a greater appreciation for developing positive psychological capital [ 51 ]. Studies on nursing students have also shown that nursing students with part-time experience have higher career adaptability than those without such experience [ 52 ].…”

Background Senior nursing students’ perceptions of their professional preparedness help them for expectations of their future nursing role with more confidence, and professional identity may contribute to cultivating nursing students’ perceptions of professional preparedness. In this study we applied latent profile analysis to identify the latent profiles of perceived professional preparedness among senior nursing students and to examine their identity and predictors. Methods This was a cross-sectional descriptive study. A total of 319 senior nursing students from five universities in China were enrolled. Data were collected using the Perceived Professional Preparedness of Senior Nursing Students’ Questionnaire and the Professional Identity Scale for Nursing Students. Results Three latent profiles were identified and labeled as “low perceived professional preparedness” (n = 90, 28.2%), “low clinical competency-low EBP (Evidence-Based Practice)” (n = 190, 59.5%), and “high perceived professional preparedness” (n = 39, 12.2%). Place of residence, average clinical practicum hours per day, part-time experience, good relationships with classmates, and feeling nobility toward nursing due to COVID-19 significantly predicted profile membership. The average professional identity score was also statistically different across the three profiles (F = 54.69, p < 0.001). Conclusions Senior nursing students’ perceptions of their professional preparedness were divided into three profiles, and out results show that promoting professional identity may effectively foster their perceived professional preparedness. This study therefore highlights the importance of targeted interventions by considering their distinct perceptions of professional preparedness patterns.

“…According to self-determination theory, the future work self serves as a motivational career resource that can motivate students to engage in current goal-setting and goal-striving behaviors to achieve a desired future [ 22 , 39 ]. Students who have a higher level of salience and elaboration about their future work self can not only clearly depict the image of their future work [ 40 ] but also take the initiative to learn job-related knowledge and skills needed in career development [ 12 ] to purposefully enhance a series of comprehensive abilities and strengthen their employability [ 41 ]. It follows that the future work self plays a motivating role in increasing students’ perceived employability.…”

Background The career intentions of students play a crucial role in shaping the growth of the hospitality and tourism industry. Previous research underlines the significance of future work self in predicting outcomes related to one’s career. However, there is limited knowledge regarding the precise ways, timing, and conditions under which the future work self of undergraduate students can enhance their employability. Methods This paper aims to address the existing research gap by employing career construction theory and self-determination theory to propose a moderated mediation model—i.e., career exploration serves as a mediator and job market knowledge functions as a moderator in the relationship between future work self and employability. We conducted two independent studies (i.e., an experimental study and a time-lagged field study) to test the proposed model. Specifically, in Study 1 we employed an experimental research design to recruit 61 students majoring in tourism management to participate. They were randomly assigned to two scenarios (future work self: high vs. low), and we manipulated different levels of future work self by means of scenario descriptions. In Study 2, we used the time-lagged research design to collect data via submitting questionnaires among 253 Chinese undergraduates who majored in hospitality and tourism at a university in the middle area of China. Results The results indicate a positive correlation between undergraduates’ future work self and their employability. Furthermore, this relationship is mediated by a mediator of career exploration. It is important to note that this mediating relationship is also contingent upon the moderator variable of undergraduates’ job market knowledge when considering the impact of career exploration on employability. Conclusion The findings contribute to enriching the current understanding of the positive effects of future work self on undergraduates’ desirable outcomes in employability.

“…It has been identified that career calling positively correlated with career adaptability [14]. Career adaptability, a multidimensional psychosocial construct linked to an individual's long-term career success, is the ability to handle career development-related tasks using available resources [55][56][57]. A survey based on Chinese pre-service female primary school teachers found that greater career adaptability was associated with higher individual perceptions of future decent work and higher academic satisfaction [53].…”

From a Psychology of Working Theory (PWT) perspective, this study aims to explore how career adaptability and decent work mediate the effects of career calling on the resilience of rural-oriented pre-service teachers. The Career Calling Scale, Career Adaptability Scale, Decent Work Scale, and Resilience Scale were used to survey 393 rural-oriented pre-service teachers. The results found that career calling positively predicted the resilience of rural-oriented pre-service teachers; career adaptability mediated the relationship between career calling and resilience of rural-oriented pre-service teachers; decent work mediated the relationship between career calling and resilience of rural oriented pre-service teachers; and career adaptability and decent work play a chain mediating role between career calling and career adaptability of rural-oriented pre-service teachers. Therefore, this study concludes that career calling not only directly influences the resilience of rural-oriented pre-service teachers, but also indirectly influences the resilience of rural-oriented pre-service teachers through career adaptability and decent work.
