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 (<i>N</i> = 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 of career decision-making selfefficacy. The findings carry theoretical implications for research on affective wellbeing and advance our understanding of social cognitive career theory. Practical 
implications for both career educators and consultants are discussed.},
