ABSTRACT
We examined the relationship between COVID-19 stressors and individuals' career insecurity and the moderating effect of family support and openness to experience on that relationship. Participants were 207 young Chinese employees (female = 52.2%;mean age = 25.5 years, SD = 4.673 years). They completed the COVID-related stressors, Family Support, Career Insecurity, and Openness Questionnaires. Regression analysis results showed that COVID-related stressors were associated with higher career insecurity. Openness to experience buffered such a link between the COVID-related stressors and career insecurity so that when openness was high, career insecurity from COVID-related stressors was lower. Family support did not moderate the relationship between COVID-related stressors and career insecurity. These findings suggest the importance of personality traits in the relationship between COVID-19 pandemic stressors and work participation for resilient careers.
