Abstract

Based on the self-concept theory, this paper examines the relationship between self-management and career adaptability by focusing on the mediating role of target self-efficacy and the moderating role of target career encouragement. Results from 227 college students reveals:(1)Self-management has significantly positive effects on career adaptability;(2) Self-efficacy plays a partial mediating role between self-management and career adaptability;(3) Career encouragement moderates the relationship between self-efficacy and career adaptability, such relationship is stronger when the level of career encouragement is higher;(4) The paper further verifies the moderated mediation effect, career encouragement positively moderate the indirect relationships between self-management and career adaptability via self-efficacy. This paper not only extends existing theoretical research of employment, but also sheds light on management practice to improve college students’self-management.
