This study aimed to investigate the relationship between proactive personality and career-related decision-making self-efficacy, with generative artificial intelligence acceptance serving as a mediating factor. Additionally, the study examined the moderating effect of innovation competencies on this mediation pathway, utilizing a moderated mediation framework. The study included 501 university students from Guangdong Province, China, who completed validated measures of proactive personality, career-related decision-making self-efficacy, generative artificial intelligence acceptance, and innovation competencies. Data analysis was conducted using SPSS (Version 26) and the PROCESS macro to evaluate mediation, moderation, and moderated mediation effects. Moreover, confirmatory factor analysis was performed using Amos (Version 28.0) to assess the validity of the measurement models. The results indicate that proactive personality exerts an indirect effect on career-related decision-making self-efficacy via generative artificial intelligence acceptance. The strength of this indirect effect was moderated by innovation competencies, indicating that the relationship is stronger at higher levels of innovation competencies. These findings contribute to a more nuanced understanding of the relationship between proactive personality and career-related decision-making self-efficacy, particularly within the context of technological adaptability.
本研究旨在探讨积极主动型人格与职业相关决策自我效能感之间的关系，将生成式人工智能接受度作为中介因素。此外，本研究利用有调节的中介框架，考察了创新能力对这一中介路径的调节作用。该研究纳入了来自中国广东省的501名大学生，他们完成了关于积极主动型人格、职业相关决策自我效能感、生成式人工智能接受度和创新能力的有效测量。使用SPSS（版本26）和PROCESS宏进行数据分析，以评估中介效应、调节效应和有调节的中介效应。此外，使用Amos（版本28.0）进行验证性因素分析，以评估测量模型的有效性。结果表明，积极主动型人格通过生成式人工智能接受度对职业相关决策自我效能感产生间接影响。这种间接效应的强度受到创新能力的调节，表明在创新能力较高的水平上，这种关系更强。这些发现有助于更细致地理解积极主动型人格与职业相关决策自我效能感之间的关系，特别是在技术适应性的背景下。
