Abstract

This study examines the relationship between boundaryless career orientation and career optimism. Researchers tested and explored the possible moderating roles of both variables, namely career decision self-efficacy and career adaptability to the boundaryless career orientation and career optimism relationship. The survey was conducted on 192 accounting students in Indonesia to collect data. This research uses Smart-PLS to process and analyze data. The results showed that boundaryless career orientation is positively associated with career optimism. In this study, it was also shown that career decision self-efficacy and career adaptability successfully moderated the relationship between boundaryless career orientation and career optimism.
