Abstract
This study researched the relation between receiving negative career feedback and experiencing career distress in young adults starting their career. It also looked at the effect of adaptive and maladaptive perfectionistic traits on this relation. Career distress is still experienced by many in the work field and can have negative consequences, such as less motivation to achieve career goals. The research team send a survey to their social networks that took approximately 15 minutes to answer. The participants could be students or employees between 18 and 35 years old. 110 participants finished the survey that consisted of items indicating their received negative career feedback in the past 6 months, experienced career distress and their perfectionistic traits. A positive relation was found between receiving negative career feedback and experiencing career distress. There was no significant relation found for the moderation effect of the different dimensions of perfectionism. We conclude that receiving more negative career feedback is related to experiencing more career distress. The effect of perfectionism is still unknown, as the research is contradicting, and therefore would be of interest for future research.
