| dc.description.abstract | Individual well-being refers to employee engagement that generates higher frequency of positive affect such as job satisfaction, commitment, joy, fulfilment, interest, and caring. However, for the engineers in Malaysia, the conflict between fulfilling the work demand structured by the organization and their aspiration to be visionaries, ambitious, having their own goals and expectation, have influenced their well-being. Grounded in the Protean Career Theory (Hall, 1976), this study examined the impact of protean career orientation on proactive career management behaviours and individual well-being. In addition, this study examined the mediating effect of proactive career management behaviours on the relationship between protean career orientation and individual well-being using Goal Setting Theory (Locke & Latham, 2004). To test the proposed hypotheses, data were collected through self-administered questionnaires. The study sample consisted of 387 registered professional engineers with the Board of Engineers Malaysia (BEM). The hypotheses were analysed using the Partial Least Squares (PLS) approach. This study found interesting results related to individual well-being. The finding showed that protean career orientation has a positive influence on proactive career management behaviours. Protean career orientation also was found has a positive influence on career satisfaction. Proactive career management behaviours was found to have a positive influence on career satisfaction. Finally, study found that the relationship between protean career orientation and individual well-being are linked through the mediating variable of proactive career management behaviours. Based on the findings, the methodology, theoretical and practical implications of the study are discussed. The suggestion for the future research is also offered. | en_US |
