Investigating the contributing factors of career adaptability has always been an important topic in the field of vocational psychology research. From the perspective of person-environment interaction, this study introduced the role accumulation theory into the researches of career adaptability. Using a sample of 379 Chinese college students (mean age = 20.36 years, SD = 1.67), a model of role accumulation affecting college students' career adaptability was constructed, and the parallel mediating mechanisms of self-efficacy and social support were also discussed. Participants filled out questionnaires regarding role accumulation, self-efficacy, social support, and career adaptability. The results of structural equation modeling (SEM) showed that: (1) Role accumulation positively predicted career adaptability in college students; (2) Role accumulation also indirectly predicted career adaptability through self-efficacy and social support. The present study is the first to validate the psychological pathways linking role accumulation to career adaptability via self-efficacy and social support. The contribution of this study to the literature is to provide a new perspective that can clarify the predictors of career adaptability. In addition, for educational administrators and career practitioners, targeting role accumulation is valuable for developing college students' career adaptability.
探究职业适应能力的影响因素一直是职业心理学研究领域的重要课题。本研究从人-环境交互作用的视角出发，将角色积累理论引入职业适应能力的研究中。以379名中国大学生为样本（平均年龄=20.36岁，标准差=1.67），构建了一个角色积累影响大学生职业适应能力的模型，并探讨了自我效能感和社会支持的平行中介机制。参与者填写了关于角色积累、自我效能感、社会支持和职业适应能力的问卷。结构方程模型（SEM）的结果表明：（1）角色积累正向预测大学生的职业适应能力；（2）角色积累还通过自我效能感和社会支持间接预测职业适应能力。本研究首次验证了通过自我效能感和社会支持将角色积累与职业适应能力联系起来的心理路径。本研究对文献的贡献在于提供了一个新的视角，能够阐明职业适应能力的预测因素。此外，对于教育管理者和职业从业者而言，针对角色积累来培养大学生的职业适应能力具有重要价值。
