Abstract
It is likely that employees will not stay with the same company throughout their entire working life, which is one of the reasons employees should be able to adapt to their careers. Career adaptability is an individual’s competence to cope with changing conditions of vocational development and is related to positive career development (Savickas, 2002). Therefore, it is important to examine what may enhance career adaptability. The current study hypothesizes that adopting a professional skills growth mindset is related to the enhancement of employees’ career adaptability. It is also hypothesized that supervisor support moderates this relationship. 103 participants filled out a questionnaire measuring their professional skills mindset, career adaptability, and the amount of support from their supervisor. The results show that professional skills growth mindset is positively related to the enhancement of career adaptability, however, the moderating role of supervisor support is not found. According to the current study, adopting a growth mindset can help to be more adaptable to one’s career.
