Abstract

This paper was designed to quantitatively identify how social support affected proactive career behaviors based on self-verification theory through analyzing 220 valid questionnaires collected from newcomers in several companies in Mainland and Macao. The result showed that social support was positively related to proactive career behaviors, which was mediated by outcome expectation and moderated by proactive personality positively. This research suggests organizations to enhance organizational cultural cultivation and employee training to help newcomers get involved in work more quickly.
