Abstract

Studies have demonstrated that proactive personality and career adaptability are correlated. Less is known, however, about how proactive personality impact career adaptability. Based on the conservation of resources (COR) theory, the present study aimed to investigate the association between proactive personality and career adaptability, and explored the mediating effects of strengths use and job crafting. Three-wave questionnaires data was conducted with 374 employees from diverse organizations to test the hypotheses of this study. The results of our study showed that proactive personality was positively related to career adaptability. Moreover, strengths use and job crafting separately played a mediation role in the link between proactive personality and career adaptability. Additionally, a sequential mediation effect was observed, with proactive personality influencing career adaptability through the sequential mediators of strengths use and job crafting. This study offers valuable insights into the specific pathway from proactive personality to career adaptability.
