Multiple predictors of career adaptability among private university students in Hong Kong

Abstract

The presentation focuses on a cross sectional study that examined multiple predictors of career adaptability among 633 final year students from 5 private universities in Hong Kong. Results suggested that beyond the most well-established personality traits, academic achievement, career relational support and career exploration were also significant predictors of career adaptability among university students. Students’ major of study, past internship experience and parental education level, however, did not predict career adaptability. Implications of the finding for theory building and practice will also be discussed.
