The current study examined a moderated mediation model of future time perspective (FTP; valence and connectedness) related to career construction with career adaptability as a mediator and hope as a moderator among 472 Chinese vocational school adolescents. Regression analysis revealed career adaptability partially mediated the relation from valence to career construction and fully mediated the relationship from connectedness to career construction. Furthermore, hope significantly moderated the mediation model, both mediating effects were more salient at the low level of hope, and the relations of valence and connectedness to career adaptability were stronger at the low level of hope. The result confirmed the motivational role of FTP as adaptivity in career construction model of adaptation. Implications about FTP and hope in career construction are discussed.

AbstractBy responding to the call for research on negative career shocks and future time perspective, this study regarded internal social capital as a tool of resource retention which shifts attention to negative career shocks’ positive effects. We test a moderated mediation model which illustrates the effect of negative career shocks on focus on opportunities—positive dimension of occupational future time perspective. Results revealed that internal social capital acts as the mediator between negative career shocks and focus on opportunities, and organizational embeddedness moderats the mediation effect. The relationship is stronger when individuals are highly embedded in organizations.

Abstract. This study addresses prior mixed findings on the relationship between future time perspective (FTP) and well-being as well as examines the associations between three aspects of FTP and life satisfaction in the health and friendship domains. 159 Germans, 97 US Americans, and 240 Hong Kong Chinese, aged 19–86 years, completed a survey on future self-views (valence) and life satisfaction. They also reported the extent to which they perceived future time as expanded vs. limited (time extension) and meaningful (openness). Findings revealed that individuals with more positive future self-views had higher satisfaction. However, those who perceived their future as more meaningful or perceived more time in their future reported higher satisfaction even when future self-views were less positive.
