Hope and career regret: Mediator role of career adaptability and career construction

“…Career construction theory claims that career adaptation resources make a significant contribution to the success of individuals in their transition from high school to university and from university to job life (Savickas & Porfeli, 2012) because individuals with adaptation skills are self‐confident in solving their problems, are curious to explore their environment, and have an interest and determination about their occupational future (Korkut‐Owen & Niles, 2011).
