Abstract
Negative feedback is essential in young professionals’ careers, yet research shows few positive responses to this feedback. This study explores the experiences and reactions of young professionals specifically toward negative career feedback. It is part of a two-wave study investigating how confidence in adaptive career planning influences responses to negative career feedback. Specifically, we explored the relationship between negative career feedback and career exploration, considering the mediating role of career self-efficacy and the moderating role of maladaptive perfectionism. A sample of 182 young professionals completed an online survey. Contrary to expectations, negative career feedback did not predict career exploration. However, an indirect-only mediation was found through career self-efficacy, suggesting that higher levels of self-efficacy alleviated the impact of negative career feedback on career exploration. Finally, maladaptive perfectionism did not moderate this relationship. Implications for improving feedback practices in the workplace are discussed, highlighting the benefits of constructive feedback in enhancing self-efficacy and supporting career development efforts among young professionals. Keywords: negative career feedback, career exploration, career self-efficacy, maladaptive perfectionism
