Abstract
The socio-cognitive model of career self-management by Lent & Brown (2013) provides a framework for understanding mechanisms of self-regulation in career setting. Negative feedback may be seen as a learning experience, which influences career actions, such as career goal revision, through the intermediary process of career self-efficacy. The goals of our study were to replicate findings by Hu et al. (2019) of a moderate positive relationship between negative feedback on career goal suitability and downward career goal revision, as well as the indirect relationship through career self-efficacy. We also explored professional skills and abilities mindset having a conditional indirect effect to test its buffering potential. This was researched through a cross-sectional survey design with a convenience sample (N=108). Results showed a moderate-to-strong positive relationship between negative career feedback and downward career goal revision, as well as career self-efficacy serving as moderate partial mediator. Growth professional skills and abilities mindset was not found to have a conditional indirect effect. These findings highlight the negative effects negative feedback may have on career goal striving, and the importance of protecting career self-efficacy beliefs when providing negative career feedback. Keywords: negative career feedback, negative feedback, career self-efficacy, professional skills and abilities growth mindset, career goal revision
