Abstract
The goal of this study was to investigate the relationships between employees’ professional skills and abilities growth mindset, their perceived intrinsic and extrinsic rewards, and career adaptability. Based on the self-determination theory, I hypothesized that the positive relationship between a professional skills and abilities growth mindset and career adaptability is stronger when employees believe they are receiving rewards from their work. Data from 221 participants were collected using an online questionnaire as part of a larger study. Results from hierarchical regression analyses showed that a professional skills and abilities growth mindset and perceived intrinsic rewards were positively related to career adaptability. Perceived intrinsic and extrinsic rewards did not moderate the relationship between a professional skills and abilities growth mindset and career adaptability. This research adds to the existing growth mindset literature and has implications for practitioners who want to prepare their employees for career changes. Keywords: growth mindset, professional skills and abilities, career adaptability, perceived rewards, intrinsic, extrinsic
