摘要

This study explores LGBT+ (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, and other sexual and gender minority identities) individuals’ career adaptation processes through the career construction model of career construction theory. Employing a qualitative, phenomenological design, data were collected from 15 participants via snowball sampling using a personal information form and semistructured interviews. Content analysis revealed 14 themes and 31 categories across four dimensions: adaptivity, adaptability (concern, control, curiosity, confidence), adapting responses, and adaptation results. Participants reported challenges in career decision-making and exploration. Some preferred working in socially accepting countries. Coming out influenced the effectiveness of coping strategies in job search and the workplace.
