Abstract/Summary

This cross-sectional study examined the mediating role of career aspiration on the relationship between the three psychological needs (autonomy, competence, and relatedness) and career adaptability. Data were gathered from 237 participants aged 19 to 45 years old who are currently employed. Using the Preacher and Hayes (2008) Process Macro and descriptive Statistics, the results showed that there are direct relationships between the three psychological needs and career adaptability. Moreover, autonomy and competence were also found to significantly predict career aspiration. The mediating role was also established as career aspiration significantly affects career adaptability. The findings suggest the importance of work conditions in promoting the satisfaction of the three psychological needs which will lead to the development career aspirations and adaptive behaviors.
