Effects of Career Adaptability and Self-Efficacy on Transition Shock Among Newly Graduated Nurses During the COVID-19 Pandemic: A Survey Conducted in China.

The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) outbreak has increased the work pressure of nurses worldwide, and managers must provide support and assistance for the transition period of newly graduated nurses. A cross-sectional design was adopted to collect a sample of 318 newly graduated nurses from six hospitals in China during the COVID-19 pandemic. Data were collected using a questionnaire that consisted of a demographic questionnaire, the Transition Shock Scale (2015), the Career Adapt-Ability Scale (2012), and the General Self-Efficacy Scale (2001). The transition shock of newly graduated nurses was 3.77 ± 0.48 in China. Regression analysis showed that transition shock among newly graduated nurses was predicted by career adaptability, general self-efficacy, living with one's parents, and education level, which accounted for 37.7% of the variance in transition shock. Newly graduated nurses experienced a relatively high level of transition shock in China during the COVID-19 pandemic. Managers may offer continuing education to reduce the transition shock of newly graduated nurses based on the factors that affect their transition shock. [J Contin Educ Nurs. 202x;5x(x):xx-xx.].

Adaptive expertise, career adaptability, and career success of R&D personnel

ABSTRACT Cognitive rigidities have long been a serious concern in innovation research, such as disruptive innovation studies and not-invented-here syndrome studies. The existing literature, however, lacks a theoretical perspective and empirical evidence regarding why cognitive rigidities develop and how to deal with the problem. To address this paucity, this study investigates the role that research and development (R&D) personnel’s adaptive expertise plays in coping with cognitive rigidities by analyzing its direct effect on career success and its path of influence through career adaptability. On the basis of a survey of 262 R&D personnel in South Korea, this study shows the direct effect of adaptive expertise on the career success of R&D personnel and the mediation effect of career adaptability on the relationship between the two variables. This research provides various theoretical and practical implications to cognitive rigidities in innovation studies, career development studies, and human resource management of R&D personnel.

Do adaptable employees always display high performance? Dual roles of proactive behavior and self-construal

We examined a dual-path model to explain the opposite roles of career adaptability and organizational performance. We used a time-lagged survey of 53 supervisors and 327 employees in China to collect data. Results show that career-oriented proactive behavior mediated the negative effect of career adaptability on performance, and work unitoriented proactive behavior mediated the positive effect of career adaptability on performance. Moreover, the effects of career adaptability and career-oriented proactive behavior on performance were significant only for employees with high independent selfconstrual, and the effects of career adaptability and work unit-oriented proactive behavior on performance were significant only for employees with high interdependent self-construal. This study extends career construction theory in the organizational behavior field and has practical significance for the effective guiding of adaptable employees' contribution to organizational performance.

Effect of Career Adaptability on Subjective Well-Being of Middle-Aged and Older Employees

This study aimed to elucidate how career adaptability (CA) affects subjective well-being by focusing on the psychological adjustment of middle-aged and older workers. Two web-based surveys were conducted at 1-year and 3-month intervals with 3540 workers aged 40 to 64 years, including those eligible for both position-retirement and reemployment. Factor analysis of CA in the first wave extracted two factors “control and confidence” and “concern and curiosity”. Multiple regression analysis, adjusted for important covariates, was conducted with the overall CA and the two factors of CA as the independent variables, and scores of the Satisfaction with Life Scale (SWLS) as the dependent variable. For satisfaction with life, only concern and curiosity had a significant positive association, while control and confidence had no significant association. Analysis by employment stage indicated that only concern and curiosity had a significant positive association with satisfaction with life, while control and confidence had no significant association with any employment stage. The results suggest that the effect of CA on satisfaction with life remains the same, even among those who are position-retired or reemployed at the end of their vocational lives, which is a transition period in their lives.

취업준비생의 지각된 상황적 제약과 취업스트레스 간 관계: 진로적응성의 매개효과와 진로통제소재의 조절효과

본 연구는 20대 청년들을 대상으로, 진로선택장면에서 지각되는 상황적 제약과 취업스트레스 간 관계를 살펴보았다. 구체적으로, 지각된 상황적 제약이 낮은 진로적응성을 거쳐 취업스트레스로 이어지는지, 진로적응성의 매개효과를 검토하였다. 아울러, 지각된 상황적 제약과 진로적응성 간 관계가 진로통제소재별(내적통제성, 운, 영향력 있는 타인)로 달라지는지, 진로통제소재의 조절효과를 검증하였다. 이를 위해, 취업준비 중이라고 응답한 전국 20대 남녀 282명을 대상으로 설문을 실시하였다. 분석 결과는 다음과 같다. 첫째, 지각된 상황적 제약은 낮은 수준의 진로적응성을 거쳐, 취업스트레스를 유의하게 예측하는 것으로 나타나, 진로적응성의 부분매개효과가 지지되었다. 둘째, 지각된 상황적 제약과 진로적응성 간 관계가 진로통제소재에 따라 달라지는지 확인한 결과, 내적통제성과 영향력 있는 타인의 조절효과가 유의하였다. 구체적으로, 지각된 상황적 제약이 높아질수록 내적통제성이 낮거나 중간인 집단은 진로적응성이 유의하게 하락하였으나, 내적통제성이 높은 집단은 진로적응성이 비교적 유지되는 것으로 나타났다. 마지막으로 영향력 있는 타인의 경우, 타인의 영향력을 적게 지각하는 집단에서 조절효과가 유의하였는데, 제약이 높아질수록 이 집단의 진로적응성이 감소하였다. 이를 토대로, 상황적 제약은 객관적으로 점검하면서도 이 가운데 정정 가능한 과제에 집중하여 내적통제성을 발휘함이 취업준비에 적응적일 수 있음을 논의하고, 후속 연구를 제언하였다.

대학생의 심리적 진로장벽과 진로관여행동의 관계 -진로적응성과 진로결정자기효능감의 매개효과를 중심으로-

본 연구는 진로 전환기의 대학생들이 지각하는 심리적 진로장벽과 진로적응성, 진로결정자기효능감, 진로관여행동의 구조적 관계에 대해 알아보고, 여기에서 진로 적응성과 진로결정자기효능감의 매개효과를 확인하고자 하였다. 이를 위해 한국고용정보원에서 실시한 ‘청년패널조사’중 2017년에 결과가 발표된 자료를 사용하였다. 연구대상은 대학생이며, 1,044명이다. 자료 분석을 위해 SPSS 24.0, AMOS 24.0, SPSS Process Macro를 활용하여 신뢰도 및 기초통계 분석, 구조방정식 모형분석, 부트스트랩을 실시하였다. 본 연구는 인지적 요소인 심리적 진로장벽이 행동 변인인 진로관여행동에 영향을 미침에 있어 이중매개변인의 효과를 검증하여 진로 행동을 촉진하는 변인에 대해 확인하였다. 이러한 주요 변인들 간의 관계를 이중매개효과로 검증하여 대학생들의 진로발달과정에서 고려해야 할 중요한 자료를 제공했다는데 의의가 있다. 이것은 대학생 시기의 진로발달이 인지적 측면 뿐 아니라 행동적 요소와 함께 이루어져야 하며, 시대 흐름의 고려한 적응성이 필요하다는 사실을 알려준다. 특히 심리적 진로장벽이 진로관여행동에 영향을 미친다는 선행연구와 이 두 변인간의 매개효과를 살펴본 연구는 많이 있지만 진로적응성과 진로결정자기효능감의 이중매개효과에 대한 연구는 거의 이루어지지 않았기 때문에 심리적 진로장벽이 진로관여행동에 미치는 영향에서 진로적응성과 진로관여 행동의 이중매개경로에 대한 새로운 연구를 했다는 것에 의미가 있다.
