Abstract Based on social cognitive career theory, this research examined a
chained mediation model for the relations between proactive personality, career
success criteria clarity, career decision-making self-efficacy and affective wellbeing. A two-wave survey study was conducted among Chinese graduating
students (N = 235). The results showed that proactive personality (measured at
time 1), career success criteria clarity (measured at time 1), and career decisionmaking self-efficacy (measured at time 2) positively related to affective well-being
respectively. In addition, the results further revealed that proactive personality was
positively related to career success criteria clarity, which further predicted
affective well-being through the full mediation… More >

Abstract This paper attempts to unlock how and when leaders’ loneliness
influences their voice-taking behavior in the workplace by integrating the regulatory
loop model of loneliness and the affect theory of social exchange. Through collecting
a daily diary study of 87 paired leader-follower samples from two electronics
industry companies based in Guangzhou, China, this study finds that (1) leaders’

relationship between leaders’ loneliness and voice-taking behavior; and, (4) the
indirect effect… More >

Abstract Work engagement is a crucial positive psychological construct related
to mental health. However, current self-directed and boundaryless career trend
brings unprecedented challenges for organizations to foster employee engagement
using traditional means. From an integrative perspective of the engagement theory
and the career boundaryless theory, we built a model to test the moderating effect
of person-vocation fit and trust in supervisor on the relationship between future
work self and work engagement. After conducting a two-wave study with a sample
of 231 employees, we found that future work-self was positively related to work
engagement; and both person-vocation fit and trust in supervisor… More >
