This study used a person-centered approach to investigate university students’ profiles of career adaptability and determine whether different combinations of concern, control, curiosity, and confidence could be identified. We also explored the relations of these profiles with emotional intelligence, anticipatory emotions, and career decision-making self-efficacy. We found six distinct profiles of career adaptability among 307 university students who differed both on their level and on shape. Emotional intelligence was associated with profiles displaying higher levels of career adaptability. Furthermore, profiles of career adaptability significantly displayed differences in terms of positive anticipatory emotions at the prospect of the school-to-work transition and career decision-making self-efficacy but not in terms of negative anticipatory emotions. These results highlight that differentiating profiles of career adaptability provide insights for the design and the implementation of career-related interventions among university students.

这项研究采用了以人为本的方法，调查了大学生的职业适应能力，并确定是否可以识别出关注，控制，好奇心和自信心的不同组合。我们还探讨了这些档案与情商，预期情绪和职业决策自我效能之间的关系。我们在307名大学生中发现了六种截然不同的职业适应能力概况，他们的水平和身材各不相同。情绪智力与个人档案显示出较高的职业适应能力。此外，职业适应性的概况在从学校到工作的过渡前景和职业决策自我效能方面显示出积极的预期情绪差异，而在预期的消极情绪方面则没有差异。这些结果表明，职业适应性的差异化特征为大学生中与职业相关的干预措施的设计和实施提供了见识。
