Abstract
The purpose of this study was to examine how family functioning influences adolescent career adaptability and explore the mediating roles of core self-evaluation and school connectedness. The sample included 496 7th-grade students (49.8% male, 46.2% female, 4.0% missing data) aged between 12 and 17 years (M = 13.38, SD = 0.55). Participants completed self-report questionnaires assessing family functioning, core self-evaluation, school connectedness, and career adaptability. The result of the study showed that family functioning directly influenced adolescent career adaptability. Additionally, it was found that core self-evaluation and school connectedness played both parallel and sequential mediating roles in this relationship.
