Abstract
Negative career feedback is a normal part of one’s career development. However, individuals vary in their responses to this feedback, and it can have an influence on downwardly revising one’s goals. The present study explored the mediating function of career distress on this relationship. Furthermore, it was investigated whether growth mindset negatively moderates the relationship between negative career feedback on progress and career distress and therefore reduces downward career goal revision. Using a cross-sectional design, 182 participants (M_age = 23; 62% female) completed an online survey measuring negative career feedback on progress, career distress, growth mindset, and downward career goal revision. A moderated mediation analysis was conducted. Consistent with our hypothesis, negative career feedback on progress was positively related to more downward career goal revision. Career distress partially mediated this relationship. Contrary to our hypothesis, growth mindset neither negatively moderated the relationship between negative career feedback on progress and career distress, nor did it have a conditional indirect effect on downward career goal revision. The outcomes highlight the impact of negative career feedback and the importance of framing feedback correctly.
