Abstract

This study investigated whether cognitive adjustment at work (CAW) mediates the relationship between future work self-salience and proactive career behaviors. Data were collected from 763 Chinese employees, aged between 22 and 58 years at the baseline time point, and a total of 548 participants provided data at the two subsequent time points (baseline, 3-month follow-up, and 6-month follow-up). Self-report questionnaires assessed participants’ future work self-salience, CAW, and proactive career behaviors. Mediation analysis using a fixed-effect cross-lagged panel model was conducted on the longitudinal data and showed that CAW mediated the relationship between future work self-salience and proactive career behaviors. These findings contribute to our understanding of the mechanisms influencing the relationship between future work self-salience and proactive career behaviors and have important implications for the promotion of employees’ proactive career behaviors and enhancing their career management skills.

未来工作自我显著性对主动性职业行为的影响：工作中认知调节的纵向中介作用

本研究旨在探讨工作中的认知调节是否在未来工作自我显著性与主动性职业行为之间起中介作用。数据收集自763名在基线时间点年龄在22 - 58岁之间的中国员工，共有548名参与者在随后的两个时间点（基线、3个月随访和6个月随访）提供了数据。自我报告问卷评估了参与者未来工作的自我显著性、CAW和积极的职业行为。采用固定效应交叉滞后面板模型对纵向数据进行中介分析，发现CAW在未来工作自我显著性与主动性职业行为之间起中介作用。这些研究结果有助于我们理解未来工作自我显著性与主动性职业行为之间关系的影响机制，对促进员工主动性职业行为和提高其职业管理技能具有重要意义。
