| description | The present study examined the relationship between career adaptability, job satisfaction, and work stress among employees in the private services sector. Drawing upon the transactional model of stress, the study aimed to examine how these variables interacted and influenced each other within the organizational context. A sample of 425 participants was surveyed using validated measurement scales of Career Adapt-Abilities Scale (CAAS), Minnesota Satisfaction Questionnaire Short form (MSQSF), and General Work Stress Scale (GWSS) for career adaptability, job satisfaction, and work stress. The results revealed a significant negative correlation between career adaptability and work stress, suggesting that higher career adaptability was associated with lower work stress levels. Additionally, job satisfaction was found to have a significant negative correlation with work stress, indicating that greater job satisfaction was linked to reduced work stress. However, contrary to initial hypotheses, job ii satisfaction did not emerge as a significant mediator in the relationship between career adaptability and work stress. The study shed light on the nuanced relationships between these variables and highlighted the importance of considering multiple factors in understanding employees' experiences within the workplace. These findings contributed to the existing literature on stress and well-being in organizational settings and had implications for HR practices and employee development programs. |
