In this 21st century, job prospects worldwide are impacted by various challenges
such as globalisation, and technological advancement. On the other hand,
challenges such as unemployment, transition from school to work, skill
mismatched, and pandemic, have fundamentally changed economic policies and
global trade activities, especially in terms of human capital. Career adaptability
is, without doubt, an indispensable asset, helping the individual forge ahead
regardless of numerous challenges at the workplace. Therefore, with the support
of System Theory Framework of Career Development (STFCD), Life-span and
Life-Space Theory, and Career Construction Theory (CCT), this research sought
to determine the contribution of individual factors towards career adaptability
among junior employees who had been employed for less than two years. This
cohort is considered as entry-level employees in organisations. Several
dimensions of individual factors focused on this research were self-esteem,
conscientiousness, spiritual intelligence, and social support. Quantitative
approach using a cross-sectional survey was employed and the questionnaire
was distributed to the sample comprised junior employees (n=423) graduated
from four Malaysian public universities. SPSS and SEM AMOS were used to
analyse the data. The results suggested that the self-esteem and
conscientiousness have significant contribution on career adaptability. Contrary
to what has been assumed, spiritual intelligence and social support showed nonsignificant
result. In this cohort, social support has moderating role on selfesteem
and career adaptability. Therefore, the research conclude that selfesteem
and conscientiousness are the principal factors predicting career
adaptability and social support moderate the association between self-esteem
and career adaptability. The research provides valuable information to
stakeholders especially employers and higher education institution in managing
individuals. |
