    Abstract:
    OBJECTIVES: Career self-management is believed to be a critical behaviour in the new career era. However, the underlying mechanisms that stimulate nurses' career self-management are unclear. The aim of this study was to examine the mediating effect of self-efficacy and the moderating effect of proactive personality on the relationship between perceived organisational support and career self-management among nurses. DESIGN: This was a cross-sectional survey. SETTING AND PARTICIPANTS: A total of 1866 nurses from 15 hospitals across 15 cities in China were recruited for this study. PRIMARY AND SECONDARY OUTCOME MEASURES: The Perceived Organizational Support Scale, General Self-efficacy Scale, Proactive Personality Scale and Individual Career Management Questionnaire were used. Data were analysed using moderated mediation regressions with Hayes' PROCESS macro in SPSS version 26.0. RESULTS: General self-efficacy mediated the relationship between perceived organisational support and career self-management. Proactive personality moderated the direct (B=0.043, p<0.001, 95% CI 0.026 to 0.060) and indirect relationship (B=0.098, p<0.001, 95% CI 0.074 to 0.123) between perceived organisational support and career self-management. Further, the positive effects of perceived organisational support on general self-efficacy and career self-management were stronger for nurses with a high level of proactive personality. The model explained 47.2% of the variance in career self-management. CONCLUSION: The findings highlight the crucial benefits of self-efficacy and important conditional effects of perceived organisational support on nurses' career self-management.
