Career Exploration and College Students’ Career Adaptability: The Mediating Role of Future Work Self-Salience and Moderating Role of Perceived Teacher Support
TL;DR: In this paper, a moderated mediation model is built to probe into the relationship between career exploration and career adaptability, discussing the mediating role of future work self-salience and the moderated role of perceived teacher support.
Abstract: Based on the theory of career construction, a moderated mediation model is built in this paper to probe into the relationship between career exploration and career adaptability, discussing the mediating role of future work self-salience and the moderating role of perceived teacher support. With the research sample of 1101 unemployed college students, SPSS and AMOS, a structural equation modeling software is employed for modeling so as to perform the linear regression analysis of three-stage data. The research findings are about four aspects; to start with, students’ career exploration is positively related to career adaptability; besides, future work self-salience plays a partial role in mediating between college students’ career exploration and career adaptability; next, perceived teacher support positively moderates two kinds of positive relationship: one is between career exploration and future work self-salience of college students and the other between their future work self-salience and career adaptability. Lastly, the indirect effect of the future work self-salience between career exploration and career adaptability is moderated by perceived teacher support. As opposed to a lower level of teacher support, this moderated mediating effect is significant only at a higher level of perceived teacher support. This research clarifies the link between career exploration and career adaptability through future work self-salience and practical enlightenment about how to enhance career adaptability via perceived teacher support.

TL;DR: In this article , a method based on the exploration and analysis of the educational management of university students in the context of environmental constraints was proposed, which was combined with practical thinking, by which big data analysis strategies were introduced and the evaluation index system was explored.
Abstract: In order to solve the problem of the educational management of university students in the context of environmental constraints, a method based on the exploration and analysis of the educational management of university students in the context of environmental constraints was proposed. The method was combined with practical thinking, by which big data analysis strategies were introduced and the evaluation index system in the educational management of university students was explored. With the help of empirical testing, it was verified that whether the on-campus information system can bring benefits to the educational management of university students. At the same time, the method of summary analysis was used, with the training set parameters 8000 and the testing set parameters 4000. The data within the information management system were elaborated by the way of formula to ensure the stable operation of the new management system and avoid mistakes in the educational management work of university students. It aimed at increasing the application of teaching staff with high comprehensive quality ability to ensure that it had strong comprehensive benefits. And then the exploration and analysis of the educational management of university students was completed under the background of environmental constraints.

TL;DR: Career exploration refers to the process whereby individuals engage in exploration of the self and the career-related environment as discussed by the authors, where skills, cognition and emotional reflection obtained during this process serve the further purpose of self-development and selfintegration.
Abstract: This article reviews the literature on career exploration.Career exploration refers to the process whereby individuals engage in exploration of the self and the career-related environment.Skills, cognition and emotional reflection obtained during this process serve the further purpose of self-development and self-integration.Past researches have examined the concept, structure, measurement and antecedents of career exploration.Researches on structure have increasingly focused on content and process, while studies of antecedents consider the family context and individual factors.This article concludes with suggestions for future research, including a deeper understanding of structure, development of measures and the antecedents of career exploration.

TL;DR: In this article , the authors investigated the relationship between career stress, career exploration, future work self, career planning and career indecision among 1,012 Chinese college students using the Structure equation model (SEM) to test the proposed mediation model.
Abstract: Career planning and career decision are important tasks for college students. The process may be affected by career stress, career exploration, and future work self, with some students facing career indecision. Combining both construction career and proactive motivation model, this study investigated the relationships between career stress, career exploration, future work self, career planning and career indecision among 1,012 Chinese college students using the Structure equation model (SEM) to test the proposed mediation model. Results show that career stress negatively predicts career planning, while career exploration positively predicts career planning. The mediating role of future work self has on career stress and career exploration's effects on both career planning and career indecision was verified. Moreover, the study also found future work self's positive effects on both career planning and career indecision in Chinese college students. Finally, the study's theoretical and practical significance and implications are discussed.

TL;DR: The extent to which method biases influence behavioral research results is examined, potential sources of method biases are identified, the cognitive processes through which method bias influence responses to measures are discussed, the many different procedural and statistical techniques that can be used to control method biases is evaluated, and recommendations for how to select appropriate procedural and Statistical remedies are provided.
Abstract: Interest in the problem of method biases has a long history in the behavioral sciences. Despite this, a comprehensive summary of the potential sources of method biases and how to control for them does not exist. Therefore, the purpose of this article is to examine the extent to which method biases influence behavioral research results, identify potential sources of method biases, discuss the cognitive processes through which method biases influence responses to measures, evaluate the many different procedural and statistical techniques that can be used to control method biases, and provide recommendations for how to select appropriate procedural and statistical remedies for different types of research settings.

TL;DR: A model is proposed that distinguishes among 5 situational features relevant to trait expression (job demands, distracters, constraints, releasers, and facilitators), operating at task, social, and organizational levels and promotes useful discussion of critical issues, including situational specificity, personality-oriented job analysis, team building, and work motivation.
Abstract: Evidence for situational specificity of personality-job performance relations calls for better understanding of how personality is expressed as valued work behavior. On the basis of an interactionist principle of trait activation (R. P. Tett & H. A. Guterman, 2000), a model is proposed that distinguishes among 5 situational features relevant to trait expression (job demands, distracters, constraints, releasers, and facilitators), operating at task, social, and organizational levels. Trait-expressive work behavior is distinguished from (valued) job performance in clarifying the conditions favoring personality use in selection efforts. The model frames linkages between situational taxonomies (e.g., J. L. Holland's [1985] RIASEC model) and the Big Five and promotes useful discussion of critical issues, including situational specificity, personality-oriented job analysis, team building, and work motivation.
