dc.description.abstract | A protean career orientation is assumed to be beneficial for career development but researchers
have only recently started to empirically evaluate the concept. Conducting two studies based on
three independent samples of university students and working professionals in Germany, we
address issues of concurrent validity, predictive incremental validity and mechanisms linking
the protean orientation to career outcomes. The first study showed that in a sample of 104 German
employees different measures of the protean career orientation all correlated highly, but
not identically, to a range of work and career attitudes. Using bootstrapping analysis, a second
study with a six-month prospective examination among 419 German university students and a
cross-sectional analysis among 526 German employees showed that a protean career orientation
predicts proactive career behaviors and career satisfaction beyond a proactive disposition and
core self-evaluations, respectively. Moreover, the protean career orientation was a significant
mediator of these two personality constructs on both career outcomes. Cumulatively, the studies
enrich our understanding of how and when a protean career orientation is related to important
career outcomes. | |
