“…This highlights the importance of having clear expectations regarding the source of endogeneity and not merely accounting for it. Moreover, this finding points toward complex substantial dynamics between personality traits, job experiences and attitudes, as well as career adaptability (Rossier et al, 2017). Clearly, more research in this area is warranted to fully understand the complex interplay between career adaptability and affect.…”

“…Aversive affective events may, for example, activate or consume the career resources needed to show adaptive responses and outcomes (Savickas, 2005; Johnston, 2018). Different from our interindividual perspective, future efforts might therefore investigate how situational and environmental characteristics and personal resources interact in shaping intraindividual changes in adaptation (Rossier et al, 2017; Urbanaviciute et al, 2018).…”

“…Career adaptability has also been theoretically related to affective experiences. In Rossier’s (2015) model, career adaptability influences individuals’ adapting responses and can be activated by experiences originating from the combination of individual predispositions and the broader context (Rossier, 2015; Rossier et al, 2017). In this model, even though career adaptability may constitute a protective factor against negative experiences, when people are confronted with long-term negative states and experiences, their job attitudes suffer from them on the long term (Fiori et al, 2015).…”

Illustrating Instrumental Variable Regressions Using the Career Adaptability – Job Satisfaction Relationship

This article illustrates instrumental variable (IV) estimation by examining an unexpected finding of the research on career adaptability and job satisfaction. Theoretical and empirical arguments suggest that in the general population, people’s abilities to adapt their careers are beneficial to their job satisfaction. However, a recent meta-analysis unexpectedly found no effect when personality traits are controlled for. We argue that a reverse effect of job satisfaction on career adaptability, originating from affective tendencies tied to personality, might explain this null effect. Our argument implies that the estimates obtained with traditional ordinary least squares (OLS) regressions are biased by endogeneity, a correlation between an explanatory variable and the error term in a regression model. When experimental manipulations are impossible, IV estimations, such as two-stage least squares (2SLS) regressions, are one possible solution to the endogeneity problem. Analyzing three waves of data from a sample of 836 adults, the concurrent and time-lagged effect of job satisfaction on career adaptability was revealed to be more consistent than the reverse. Our results provide an explanation, rooted in affective dispositions, as to why recent meta-analytical estimates unexpectedly found that career adaptability does not predict job satisfaction at the interindividual level. We also discuss IV estimation in terms of its limits, weight the interpretation of its estimates against the temporality criterion for causal inference, and consider its possible extension to analyses of change.

“…These young people leave the safe and familiar environment that surrounded them for the past 12 or 16 years of their education and are trying to find a "stable pattern in a life that has suddenly become unfamiliar and unpredictable " (Oishi, 2012, p. 7). As a result, for many adolescents creating a career is not only a complex, but also a stressful and confusing process that can have a negative impact on an individual's well-being (Chen, 2015;Van Esbroeck & Augustijnen, 2015;Konstam, 2015;Stoltz, 2015;Rossier, Ginevra, Bollmann, & Nota, 2017).…”

To many freshmen the process of career decision making seems to be finalized once they have chosen a field of study, but as time goes by their uncertainties rise. Design thinking provides a useful frame for developing extracurricular programme that can help students grow functional and realistic perceptions of their future careers. This study deals with the effects and potential usefulness of a career development programme implemented at the University of Applied Sciences VERN' (Zagreb, Croatia). 19 students took part in the Programme and were tested before and after its implementation on four measures -Career-related Negative and Positive Affect, Career Development Self-Efficacy, Dysfunctional Beliefs and Career Uncertainty. In order to exclude possible external factors that could affect students, a control group of 20 students of the same age and gender was also tested. At the beginning of the Programme the treatment group showed less dysfunctional career beliefs than control group, and that difference stayed stable at the second measurement point. After the Programme the treatment group showed significant decrease in Career-related Negative Affect. No significant differences were found on the remaining measures. The lack of effects on other variables could be attributed to the research methodology (treatment group consisting of highly motivated, initially different individuals) but also stresses the need of programme modification for the next generation.

“…It seems that those who possess high levels of career adapt-abilities tend to exhibit behavioral patterns that enable them to attribute optimistic meanings to various career roles (Argyropoulou, 2013), whereas they ensure harmony in their personal and professional lives . Most importantly, the life design paradigm suggests that, in specific situations, people are able to activate central personal resources such as those related to career adaptability, whereas career interventions can strengthen them leading to a successful life (Rossier, Ginevra, Bollmann, & Nota, 2017).…”

Based upon substantial research on career adaptability, and on specific cross-cultural validation research of the Career Adapt-abilities Scale (CAAS) (Savickas & Porfeli, 2012) we recruited a sample of Greek university students (Ν = 452) in order to test further the Greek form of the scale. Confirmatory Factor Analysis models showed that the four-factor structure was supported for the Greek form, comprising four dimensions: concern, control, curiosity, and confidence. The original six items per dimension structure was also maintained. Internal consistency estimates were satisfactory, and test-retest reliability reached acceptable levels. Indications of convergent validity were found as CAAS positively correlated with self-esteem. To further explore for the construct validity of the scale score differences by gender and year of studies were also examined. Overall, the observed differences were found to be in the expected direction. This validity study indicates that CAAS may be safely applied to the Greek students.
