BACKGROUND: University students often report notable career decision-making difficulties in competitive employment environments. Research has established a positive link between an individual's future work self and their career development, while learned helplessness and social loafing relate to greater career decision-making difficulties. This study examines the associations among future work self, learned helplessness, social loafing, and career decision-making difficulties, focusing on the mediating role of learned helplessness and the moderating role of social loafing.
METHODS: 611 university students responded to the Future Work Self Scale, Learned Helplessness Scale, Social Loafing Tendency Questionnaire, and Career Decision-Making Difficulties Scale. The analysis used SmartPLS 4.0 with partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM).
RESULTS: Future work self was negatively associated with career decision-making difficulties (β = -0.571). Learned helplessness partially mediated this relationship (β = -0.055), and social loafing significantly moderated the association between future work self and learned helplessness (β = 0.290). The model explained 45.3% of the variance in career decision-making difficulties and 48.7% of the variance in learned helplessness.
CONCLUSION: The findings indicate that future work self relates to lower levels of learned helplessness and career decision-making difficulties, while higher social loafing corresponds to a weaker association between them.
