Abstract

This study examines the mediating role of career transition to higher education in the effect of career decision competence expectation on the career adaptability and optimism of senior high school students. The findings show significant relationships between career decision competence expectation and career adaptability and optimism among the sub-dimensions of career transition: status, self, and support. Positive significant relationships were found between career decision competence expectation and these sub-dimensions. Model fit increased with the removal of the individual factor, and status and social support had a partial mediating role in the effect of career decision competence expectation on career adaptability and optimism.
