Abstract
The aim of this study was to (1) study the relationship between professional skills growth mindset and career exploration, with a focus on the mediating role of career adaptability, and (2) examine the moderating role of supervisor support for its impact on the relationship between professional skills growth mindset and career adaptability. A non-probability convenience sample of 166 employed adults in both supervisory and staff-level positions participated in this cross-sectional study. The participants were asked to complete a series of questionnaires measuring professional skills growth mindset, career adaptability, career exploration, and supervisor support. A moderated mediation analysis was conducted to test the hypothesis. The results showed that (1) career adaptability mediated the relationship between professional skills growth mindset and career exploration, however (2) supervisor support did not moderate the mediation model, suggesting that workers with a professional skills growth mindset displayed higher levels of career adaptability, which in turn, made them more inclined to engage in career exploration regardless of the level of supervisor support. The limitations, as well as theoretical and practical implications, are discussed below.
