Growth mindset of intelligence and occupational well-being: The mediating roles of perceived problem-solving ability and career adaptability
摘要
On the basis of the career construction model of adaptation, this study examines the influence of the growth mindset of intelligence (GMI) on occupational well-being (OWB) through perceived problem-solving ability and career adaptability. At time 1, 450 employees reported GMI, perceived problem-solving ability, and career adaptability. After 2 weeks, 352 of those 450 participants (mean, M; Mage = 34.52 years; standard deviation, SD; and SDage = 9.53 years) further reported occupational well-being. Results indicated that high GMI was related to high levels of occupational pleasure and low levels of occupational displeasure indirectly, through perceived problem-solving ability or career cooperation. The role of GMI in the workplace for improving an employee’s career adaptability and OWB is highlighted.
