ABSTRACT

The present study aimed to extend understanding about the relationship between career adaptability, courage, and life satisfaction in a sample of Italian adolescents. It was hypothesized that courage partially mediated the relationship between career adaptability and life satisfaction. Specifically, 1202 Italian high school students with an age from 14 to 20 years (M = 16.87; SD = 1.47), of which 600 (49.9%) boys and 602 (50.1%) girls, were involved. Using a multigroup approach across gender, it was found that courage partially mediated the relationship between career adaptability and life satisfaction in boys and girls. Results suggested the relevance of career interventions to promote career adaptability and courage for strengthening life satisfaction in adolescence.

8. Conclusion

The current job market is characterized by phenomena such as unemployment, precariousness, and job insecurity, which could influence personal well-being (Van Vianen, Koen, & Klehe, 2015). This study provided a contribution to literature about the role of career adaptability and courage on adolescents' life satisfaction. Specifically, it highlighted career adaptability and courage as relevant resources for strengthening life satisfaction in adolescence (Bockorny, 2015; Rudolph et al., 2017), and emphasized the mediating role of courage on the relationship between career adaptability and life satisfaction. These results suggested that considering oneself able to construct own future career intentions and to handle career transitions may favor the tendency to execute intentional acts to pursue own future goals despite perceived obstacles and risks related to their future, and these dimensions positively are linked to life satisfaction.
