Understanding the current challenges addressed in the goals of the 2030 United Nations Agenda can influence career choices, encouraging individuals to pursue careers that contribute positively to addressing them. This study examines the association between the propensity to consider the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in relation to future educational and career paths, courage, proactive career behaviors and life satisfaction, and the mediating role of courage and proactive career behaviors on the association between the propensity to consider the SDGs in relation to future educational and career paths and life satisfaction. The study sample consisted of 314 Italian university students. The serial multiple mediation model was used to examine the direct, indirect, and total effects. The results showed that the propensity to consider SDGs in relation to future educational and career paths, through courage and proactive career behaviors, has a positive impact on life satisfaction. The findings of this study have led to several actionable policy recommendations. These advocate for the integration of activities related to modules on the SDGs into their curricula. In addition, practical implications for career guidance interventions are proposed to consider the role of the SDGs in future career planning.
了解《2030年联合国议程》目标中所涉及的当前挑战，可能会影响职业选择，鼓励个人追求能为应对这些挑战做出积极贡献的职业。本研究考察了在未来教育和职业道路方面考虑可持续发展目标（SDGs）的倾向、勇气、积极的职业行为与生活满意度之间的关联，以及勇气和积极的职业行为在未来教育和职业道路方面考虑可持续发展目标的倾向与生活满意度之间的关联中所起的中介作用。研究样本包括314名意大利大学生。采用串行多重中介模型来检验直接、间接和总体效应。结果表明，在未来教育和职业道路方面考虑可持续发展目标的倾向，通过勇气和积极的职业行为，对生活满意度有积极影响。本研究的结果产生了若干可付诸行动的政策建议。这些建议主张将与可持续发展目标模块相关的活动纳入其课程。此外，还针对职业指导干预提出了实际建议，以考虑可持续发展目标在未来职业规划中的作用。
