The mediating effect of psychological well-being on self-efficacy and career development of physical education major students.

ABSTRACT: We investigated the association between self-efficacy and career exploration and career adaptability of students majoring in physical education via psychological well-being because these students undergo a critical phase during their career exploration because of an inclination towards reevaluating reality, realising their thoughts, and developing early professional goals. We used a primary data set collected from universities in two provinces of China. The participants were students with a major in physical education (n = 1381; age = 18-22 years). Students participated in the study by signing an informed consent. Hayes PROCESS model was used to apply multiple mediation model. The results suggest that higher self-efficacy is associated with better career exploration and career adaptability
