Future orientation is crucial for young people to achieve career-developmental milestones, yet little research has examined the role of future orientation in attaining career outcomes in adult samples. Using the future orientation framework, we tested direct effects of future orientation on career agency (proactive career behaviors and work effort) and career success (perceived employability and career adaptability), indirect effects via career agency variables, and conditional effects of negative career feedback in the future orientation-career agency-career success relationships. We surveyed 285 adults (M = 38.38 years) and conducted structural equation and moderated mediation analyses. Future orientation was associated positively with work effort, proactive career behaviors, career adaptability, and perceptions of employability. Work effort and proactive career behaviors mediated the future orientation-career success relationship. The mediation via career behaviors (but not work effort) was dependent on the level of received negative career feedback. The results have theoretical and practical implications.

未来取向对年轻人实现职业发展的里程碑至关重要，但是很少有研究研究了未来取向在成人样本中实现职业成果的作用。使用未来取向框架，我们测试了未来取向对职业中介（积极的职业行为和工作努力）和职业成功（感知的就业能力和职业适应性）的直接影响，通过职业中介变量的间接影响以及负面职业反馈的条件影响。未来的定向职业生涯机构职业成功关系。我们调查了285名成人（中号= 38.38岁），并进行了结构方程式和温和的中介分析。未来取向与工作努力，积极的职业行为，职业适应性和对就业能力的看法成正相关。工作努力和积极主动的职业行为介导了未来的定向职业成功关系。通过职业行为（而非工作努力）进行的调解取决于收到的负面职业反馈的程度。结果具有理论和实践意义。
