ABSTRACT

This study analyzed the effects of early adaptation capacity on post-graduation career outcomes, mediated by academic achievement (GPA), among 51 Library and Information Science graduates from a junior college based on data collected across three time points. The findings are as follows. First, among the adaptation capacity variables, family conflict was the factor most strongly associated with direct differences in career outcomes across groups, suggesting that the home environment during college has a lasting influence on post-graduation career transition. Second, self-control increased the likelihood of employment by approximately 4.6 times, indicating that self-regulatory ability is closely associated with career preparation in the library and information science field. Third, future adaptability, goal orientation, and self-esteem indirectly affected post-graduation career outcomes through academic achievement, empirically confirming a pathway through which positive future expectations, academic motivation, and psychological resources contribute to post-graduation career outcomes through academic achievement. These findings suggest that student support should extend beyond academic achievement to include psychological and emotional interventions, such as strengthening self-control and assessing home environmental risks. Regular counseling and support programs for students from vulnerable backgrounds may improve both academic persistence and adaptability during career transitions. In addition, practical career education reflecting employment conditions in the library and information services field, combined with self-regulation training, may further enhance graduates’ career adaptability.
