摘要：
Drawing on survey data from 634 Chinese high school students, this study investigated the mechanisms of career decision-making through the lens of career construction theory. The findings revealed two key insights. First, career adaptability significantly mediated the relationship between students' need satisfaction and career decision-making difficulties. Second, while career exploration alone did not exhibit a direct mediating effect, it formed a chain mediation mechanism with career adaptability between need satisfaction and career decision-making difficulties. Additionally, the study identified a moderating role of career exploration in the relationship between need satisfaction and career decision-making difficulties. However, only high levels of career adaptability were found to effectively reduce such difficulties and enhance need satisfaction.
