An Enhancement of Career Adaptability Through Positive Cognitive Behavioral Training Program

In Thailand, the public sector has a higher level of happiness compared to the private sector, which mostly hinges on the aspects of adequate compensation, job security, and the chance of receiving training and further education, which are benefits mostly supported by organizations in the public sector. The capacity to adapt to their careers should be particularly important for individuals, especially those working in private organizations, which was the key focus of this research study. The objectives of this experimental study were to examine the effect of a positive cognitive behavioral training (PCBT) program in enhancing career adaptability and relevant psychological constructs among Thai employees in private organizations. One hundred and eighty employees participated in this pre-post treatment–control study. Data obtained were analyzed using mixed-design MANOVA. Findings suggested the benefits of PCBT in enhancing career adaptability and relevant psychological constructs in Thai employees from private organizations. The therapeutic implications for career adaptability enhancement were discussed.
