ABSTRACT
The main purpose of this study is to investigate the structural relationship between parents' parenting attitude, career resilience, career aspiration, and career adaptability perceived by college students. The study also examined the mediating effect of career resilience and career aspiration in the relationship between parents' parenting attitude and career adaptability. A sample of 339 4-year university students participated in the study. Structural equation modeling was used to verify the research hypothesis model based on the measurement model and previous studies. Additionally, bootstrapping analysis was performed to verify the mediating effect. The results showed that the measurement model was suitable, and that affectionate parenting attitude had a direct and positive effect on career adaptability. Moreover, affectionate parenting attitude had a positive effect on career adaptability through career resilience and career aspiration. In contrast, overprotective parenting attitude had a negative direct effect on career adaptability and a negative effect on career adaptability through career resilience and career aspiration.
Regarding the mediating effects, both affectionate and overprotective parenting styles had indirect effects on career adaptiveness through the mediating roles of career aspirations and career adaptability, respectively. Based on these findings, we discuss that strategies considering individual career variables such as students' perceptions of parenting style, career resilience, and career aspirations should be incorporated into career education and counseling programs to enhance university students' career adaptability.
