一个人的职业适应性可以提供有关他们的生活满意度和生活意义在重要的职业转型的质量有价值的信息。然而，到目前为止，很少有研究探讨了职业适应性的性格前因，也没有研究专门探讨这些关系是否在不同的成年职业转换者群体中相似或不同地运作。为了解决这一差距，我们有298名年轻人（即，大学四年级学生或准备进入劳动力市场的应届毕业生）和169名老年人（即，正在考虑退休或最近退休的工人）完成成人依恋取向、职业适应性、生活满意度和生活意义的测量。结果表明，附件的安全性和职业适应性与预期的方向，并解释独特的方差，我们的主观幸福感的每个指标，职业适应性分数介导的成人依恋不安全感和过渡者的幸福感之间的关系。探索性分析进一步表明，对于这两组过渡，职业生涯的关注和控制策略出现了这些关系的重要调解人。未来的研究方向和实际意义，我们的研究结果与职业转型咨询干预进行了讨论。
One's career adaptability can provide valuable information regarding the quality of their life satisfaction and life meaning during important career transitions. To date, however, few studies have examined the dispositional antecedents of career adaptability and no studies have specifically explored whether these relationships operate similarly or differently across distinct groups of adult career transitioners. To address this gap, we had 298 young adults (i.e., college seniors or recent graduates poised to enter the workforce) and 169 older adults (i.e., workers who were either contemplating retirement or recently retired) complete measures of adult attachment orientations, career adaptability, life satisfaction, and life meaning. Results demonstrated that attachment security and career adaptability were associated in expected directions with, and explained unique variance in, each of our indicators of subjective well-being, and that career adaptability scores mediated observed relations between adult attachment insecurity and transitioners' well-being. Exploratory analyses further showed that, for both groups of transitioners, career concern and control strategies emerged as significant mediators of these relationships. Future research directions and practical implications of our findings for counseling interventions with career transitioners are discussed.
