ABSTRACT = {Based on social cognitive career theory, this study examined career 
success criteria clarity and career decision-making self-efficacy as mediators in 
the relationship between career exploration and affective well-being. Data were 
collected from 475 emerging adults in their early career stages in China. The 
results showed that both career success criteria clarity and career decision-making 
self-efficacy mediated the relationship between career exploration and affective 
well-being. Career decision-making self-efficacy exhibited a stronger mediating 
effect on this relationship than career success criteria clarity. These findings reveal 
some important mechanisms underlying the role of career exploration in 
generating affective well-being and contribute to the social cognitive career theory 
model. Implications both for researchers and practitioners are discussed.},
