Abstract
This research aims to study the following: (1) to analyze the level of career adaptability, the Five-Factor Model of personality, social support, and career engagement was applied to Thai traditional medicine students; and (2) to test the effects of the Five-Factor Model of Personality and social support on career engagement with the mediating effect of career adaptability. The data were collected by a proportional stratified random sampling from 373 applied Thai traditional medicine students, who were in third and fourth year. A questionnaire was used as a tool in this study. The descriptive statistics and structural equation modeling (SEM) analyzed the data with the following results: (1) the students had an agreeable and conscientious personality at a high level. The students also had career adaptability, social support, and career engagement at a high level; (2) the fit statistics for this analysis, Chi-square = 65.23, df = 50,
p = 0.07, RMSEA = 0.03, CFI = 1.00, TLI = 0.99, demonstrated a good fit to the data, and this model explained 66% of the career engagement variance; and (3) the factor of career adaptability fully mediated the relationship between the personality dimension, openness to experience and conscientiousness, and career engagement, while partially mediated the relationship between social support and career engagement. Therefore, career adaptability and social support should be promoted equally in all dimensions.
