Few studies have examined career adaptability specifically in the Hong Kong context. The Career Adapt‐Abilities Scale–China Form (CAAS‐China; Hou, Leung, Li, Li, &amp; Xu, <jats:ext-link xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" xlink:href="#cdq12118-bib-0022">2012</jats:ext-link>) was administered, along with measures of self‐esteem and social support, to 522 Hong Kong Chinese undergraduate students. Results indicated that the CAAS‐China is a reliable and valid instrument for use with these students. Data also showed that self‐esteem was strongly associated with career adaptability, and this relationship was partially mediated by perceived social support. Implications for careers counseling in universities and colleges are discussed.</jats:p>enCareer AdaptabilitySelf-EsteemSocial SupportCareer Adapt-Abilities ScalePeer Reviewed Journal Article10.1002/cdq.12118
