A cross-country analysis on career insecurity: The role of context in early career perceptions and coping
Purpose Given the perspectives of the cultural transactional theory of stress and coping (Chun et al., 2006) and sustainable career ecosystem theory (Donald et al., 2024), career insecurity in the early career stage was examined in this study by considering national and global contexts. Early career individuals' career insecurity, as well as the strategies they use to cope with it (i.e. avoidance and approach coping), were expected to differ betw…
Responding to Precarity: Young People’s Ambiguity Aversion, Resilience, and Coping Strategies
The nature of contemporary careers has shifted and is characterized by precarity, emphasizing the need for young people to possess adequate career resources in their pursuit of decent work. Grounded in the dual-process model and the conservation of resources (COR) theory, this study examines the loss impact caused by ambiguity aversion and low resilience on young people’s responses to career ambiguity, specifically, their coping strategies (i.e.,…
Self-Perceived Employability and Psychological Well-Being Among Italian Students and Graduates: A Three-Wave Cross-Lagged Study
This study investigated the reciprocal relationship between self-perceived employability (SPE) and psychological well-being (PWB), a connection previously suggested by theory but not yet explored empirically in early career research. Drawing from the Conservation of Resources theory, we analysed the reciprocal effects between SPE and PWB. Using data collected from 376 Italian university students and graduates, we tested the hypotheses with the ra…

Exploring University Students’ Career Resources Profiles to Cope with Career Insecurity and Promote Employability
The aim of this study was to characterize profiles of career resources among university students and identify differences in career insecurity and employability between these profiles. The conservation of resources theory (Hobfoll 1989) and career resources model (Hirschi 2012) were used as theoretical lenses. Specifically, psychological career resources (i.e., present positive time perspective, future positive time perspective, resilience) and s…
Invest in Your Mental Health, Support Your Career. Exploring the Impact of Mental Health Activities on Movement Capital and the Mediating Role of Flourishing and Career Engagement during the Transitio…
The current theorising of career self-management advocates that personal resources that support an adaptive transition to work are bound to individual agency. Yet, research still needs to enrich the empirical exploration of how behaviours in personal life affect careers. For this reason, we explored the impact of mental-health activities—a group of self-help activities that people can perform to increase their mental health—on movement capital am…
The role of teaching staff in fostering perceived employability of university students
For university students, perceived employability is gaining growing importance in dealing with occupational uncertainty. However, how perceived employability is shaped in the university setting is still under-researched. This study examines how support from university teaching staff influences perceived employability in a sample of Italian final-year university students. We draw on Conservation on Resources Theory to hypothesise a positive impact…
The Role of Organizational Citizenship Behavior and Gender between Job Satisfaction and Task Performance
Job satisfaction (JS) is an indicator of individual psychosocial health. Consistent evidence showed that voluntary extra-role behavior in organizations, namely organizational citizenship behavior (OCB), can also contribute to individual psychological health. JS has been found to positively influence employees’ OCB, and both JS and OCB have been found to predict employees’ task performance (TP). The purpose of this study was to investigate whether…
H-Work Project: Multilevel Interventions to Promote Mental Health in SMEs and Public Workplaces
The paper describes the study design, research questions and methods of a large, international intervention project aimed at improving employee mental health and well-being in SMEs and public organisations. The study is innovative in multiple ways. First, it goes beyond the current debate on whether individual- or organisational-level interventions are most effective in improving employee health and well-being and tests the cumulative effects of …
Improving Safety through Non-Technical Skills in Chemical Plants: The Validity of a Questionnaire for the Self-Assessment of Workers
This research is aimed at developing a questionnaire for the self-assessment of non-technical skills (NTS) leading to safety in the chemical sector and at analysing the properties of its scales in terms of construct validity. The research involved 269 Italian employees from three chemical plants of an international company, who occupied low−medium levels in the organizational hierarchy. Results showed a good level of validity and reliability of t…
Real and perceived employability: A comparison among Italian graduates
The research undertaken for this article aims to analyse the correspondence between perceived employability and the actual national employment rate among Italian students and graduates undertaking different courses in a large Italian university. Data were collected through a cross-sectional survey of 2087 students in 19 faculties, and compared with the national indicators of employment rate for each faculty. Using faculty as unit of analysis, the…
