摘要

The rapidly changing world of work requires employees to be flexible in their career development for long-term success. The article examines the degree to which leadership positively effects employees’ psychological empowerment and personal initiative, and consequently enhances their career adaptability and proactive skill development.

Survey data from 433 employees were analyzed using a structural equation model to test the relationships between the variables. After justified adjustments to the measurement model, the final structural equation model had a good global fit (RMSEA = 0.037, SRMR = 0.058, CFI = 0.934).

The results show that psychological empowerment is increased by leadership behavior that promotes freedom and personal responsibility. Empowerment strengthens career adaptability—indirectly through personal initiative. Career adaptability, in turn, mediates the positive effect of personal initiative on proactive skill development. Contrary to expectations, coaching leadership behavior has negative effects on psychological empowerment.

Practical Relevance: The results suggest that leaders can contribute to the personal initiative and adaptive career development of their employees.

This article addresses practical applications in human resources management and development, offering conclusions on enhancing employees’ career adaptability and skills advancement.
