Abstract
Career adaptability refers to adapting to changing tasks and engaging in continued self-learning. It is crucial to respond to the changing demands of employers. Undergraduates are the future talents of a country. Their readiness to join the dynamic labour market is essential to be examined. Thus, this study examines the factors affecting career adaptability among undergraduates in Malaysia. This study uses an online questionnaire for data collection purposes. The questionnaire includes career adaptability, decision-making self-efficacy, proactive personality, and academic performance. After filtering the responses received, the regression analysis consists of 171 responses from undergraduates. Results show that career decision-making self-efficacy, proactive personality, and academic performance positively relate to career adaptability. This study found that career decision-making self-efficacy and proactive personality significantly influence career adaptability. The findings in this study recommend universities encourage undergraduates to participate in extracurricular activities to have the opportunities to enhance their decision-making skills and develop their ability to take initiative.
