Abstract

Parents greatly affect youth's vocational and educational development. The objective of the study was to investigate how parental support in career development affects adolescents’ learning engagement and the mediating effects of four career adaptability aspects and life meaning. The participants were 516 high school students from Guangdong, China. The study found that: (1) Career-related parental support had a positive impact on learning engagement; (2) career confidence and life meaning acted as mediators connecting career-related parental support with learning engagement; and (3) there was a chain mediation path among career-related parental support, career concern, control, and confidence, life meaning, and learning engagement. Our findings add to the prevailing literature by confirming and extending self-determination theory as well as career development and systems theory. Based on these findings, we hope that schools and parents may implement some interventions to promote the academic engagement of students.

职业相关父母支持与学习投入：职业适应性与人生意义的中介途径探讨

父母在很大程度上影响着青少年的职业和教育发展。本研究旨在探讨职业发展中的父母支持对青少年学习投入的影响，以及职业适应四个方面和人生意义的中介作用。参与者是来自中国广东的516名高中生。研究发现：(1)职业相关的父母支持对学习投入有正向影响；(2)职业自信和生活意义在父母职业支持与学习投入之间起中介作用；(3)与职业相关的父母支持、职业关注、控制、自信、生活意义、学习投入之间存在链式中介路径。我们的研究结果通过确认和扩展自我决定理论以及职业发展和系统理论，增加了主流文献。基于这些发现，我们希望学校和家长可以实施一些干预措施来促进学生的学业投入。
