Unraveling the complex relationship between career success and career crafting: Exploring nonlinearity and the moderating role of learning value of the job
基于702名教学人员样本，研究发现主观职业成功与主动职业反思呈U型关系，与主动职业建构呈强化二次关系，且工作学习价值调节这些关系，对教育机构管理有启示。
While scholars have devoted considerable attention to proactive career behaviors, little is known about the drivers behind these behaviors. In this study, we build on conservation of resources theory to study nonlinearity in the relationship between (objective and subjective) career success and career crafting behaviors (i.e., proactive career reflection and proactive career construction) using a sample of 702 teaching staff. Both low and high levels of subjective career success related to higher levels of proactive career reflection (i.e., U-shaped relationship), whereas only high levels of subjective career success related to higher levels of proactive career construction (i.e., strengthening quadratic relationship). Moreover, learning value of the job moderated the relationship between subjective career success and both dimensions of career crafting. Our findings indicate that educational institutions should monitor and act on the perceived career success and learning value of their teaching staff to foster their career proactivity.
