Chinese Undergraduates

The current study investigates how future time perspective (FTP) is linked to career decision-making difficulty among 1,074 Chinese undergraduates. We specifically examined different components of FTP (valence and connectedness) as well as their interactions. The results confirmed the following: (1) Valence is positively associated with career decision-making difficulty, whereas connectedness is negatively associated with anxiety and career decision-making difficulty; (2) both career adaptability and anxiety significantly mediate the link from valence/connectedness to career decision-making difficulty, and the serial mediations of valence/connectedness–career adaptability–anxiety–decision-making difficulty are significant; and (3) connectedness moderates the association of valence with career adaptability and career decision-making difficulty but not its association with anxiety. The relationship between valence and career adaptability is higher at a lower level of connectedness, and the relationship between valence and decision-making difficulty is weaker at a higher level of connectedness. Implications for incorporating FTP into adaptability-based career intervention practices are discussed.

Ego Resilience

This study seeks to explore the mediating effects of future time perspective (FTP) between personality variables and career decision-making self-efficacy and career indecision with respect to managing sustainable careers. We used an online survey to collect data from 250 undergraduates for Study 1, in which we explored the mediating role of FTP which focused on the emotional and cognitive personality traits of emotional intelligence, ego resilience, and self-control; and from 249 undergraduate students for Study 2, in which we investigated the mediating effects of FTP on the personality traits of extraversion, conscientiousness, and neuroticism. The results from the first study indicated that emotional intelligence, ego resilience, and self-control had indirect effects on career decision-making self-efficacy and career indecision via FTP. The results of the second study showed that extraversion, conscientiousness, and neuroticism had indirect effects on career decision self-efficacy and career indecision via FTP. These results contribute to an enhanced understanding of the relationship between personalities and career decisions, and they expand our knowledge about the antecedents and consequences of FTP. At the end of this paper, we discuss the theoretical and practical implications of this study and identify directions for future research.

Future time perspective, like self-efficacy, can be understood both generally and domain specifically. Keeping this in mind, the current study aimed at developing and validating a Career Future Time Perspective Scale. In Study 1, we utilized an exploratory factor analysis and the Rasch rating model to ensure the construct validity of a Career Future Time Perspective Scale. The scale consisted of three factors—opportunity, value, and connectedness—across 9 items. In Study 2, we showed that this three-factor oblique scale was the most representative structure of career future time perspective. Study 3 demonstrated that after controlling for the future time perspective measures posited by Shell and Husman and Carstensen and Lang, this scale could also be used to explain: (a) career decision-making self-efficacy, (b) career-indecision tendencies, and (c) career-searching behavior. In Study 4, the reliability of the scale was demonstrated.
