The Effect of Self-leadership on College Students'Career Adaptability—An Empirical Analysis Based on Mediating Effect and Moderating Effect
With the increasing prominent phenomenon of"employment difficulty",it is of great practical significance to cultivate the career adaptability of college students and help them smoothly achieve the transition from the"Ivory Tower"to the"workplace".Taking college students as sam-ples,and based on the career construction theory,we explored the mechanism of self-leadership on career adaptability,and verified the mediating effect of professional commitment and the moderating effect of social support in this process.The results show that self-leadership has a significant positive impact on career adaptability,professional commitment plays a partial mediating role between self-leadership and career adaptability,social support plays a moderating role between self-leadership and career adaptability,and in the low social support group,self-leadership has a stronger positive predictive effect on career adaptability.To scientifically boost the career development of their stu-dents,colleges should respect students'subjectivity,pay more attention to their self-management,and cultivate their self-leadership.Besides,colleges should pay attention to students'professional intentions and learning interest,and improve students'professional commitment by expanding the proportion of independent enrollment in college entrance examinations and increasing the opportuni-ties to change majors in college.Last but not least,colleges should implement classified management in career guidance,provide social support"from person to person",and promote the internal and ex-ternal linkage of college students'career development.
