Abstract: Occupational adaptability is defined as a kind of ability that individuals can adapt to the changes and development on the career path, and can effectively solve the practical problems faced in their career path. To develop good occupational adaptability is a critical and necessary task for people to seek for a job and adapt to social life.Many scholars have studied from the aspects of role adaptation, occupational adaptation, interpersonal skills adaptation and cognitive adaptation to solve the difficulties encountered by individuals in occupational adaptation. But within academic circles, researches of occupational adaptability in the past lack the complete and clear understanding of the antecedents and consequences of occupational adaptability. Studies have shown that political skills, self-efficacy and self-esteem all play an important role in an individual's career. However, last researches have not studied in detail the relationship between them and their effects on an individual’s occupational adaptability. Therefore, this study uses a questionnaire survey to explore the impact of political skills and self-efficacy on the individual's occupational adaptability, as well as the intermediary role of self-esteem. The data of this study was from college students in a university in Chongqing. In this study, Occupational Adaptability Scale was used to measure the individual's occupational adaptability; Political Skill Inventory was used to measure the individual's political skills; General Self-Efficacy Scale was used to measure the individual's self-efficacy; Self-Esteem Scale was used to measure the individual's self-esteem. These all are self-rating scales.In this study, 501 college students were surveyed, and 492 valid questionnaires were collected. The effective recovery rate was 98.2%. 123 boys, accounting for 25%; girls 369, accounting for 75%. This study uses SPSS 21.0 and Amos17.0 to analyze data collected by questionnaire survey. First, this study conducted a regression analysis of the data obtained from the questionnaire, the results shows that: (1) Political skills have positive effect on individuals’ occupational adaptability. Individuals with high political skills can be sensitive to interpersonal relationships and rules in organizations, timely adjust their own behavior and take action to exert positive influence on others, get more support and cooperation, thereby enhancing the ability to adapt to occupation. (2) Self-efficacy positively predicts career adaptability. Individuals with a high degree of self-efficacy can have more confidence and be more hardworking, and can react to a new workplace environment in a more positive and effective mode of thinking and emotional response. Therefore they have a higher vocational adaptability. In order to further study the influence mechanism of political skills and self-efficacy on occupational adaptability, this study introduces self-esteem as an intermediary variable into the structural equation model. The results show that self-esteem plays a dual intermediary role between political skill and career adaptability, and also between self-efficacy and career adaptability. In a word, this research has successfully explored the factors influencing the occupational adaptability of individuals through empirical research and enriched the research results of the predecessors. However, the scope of sampling in this study only selected undergraduates from universities in Chongqing for testing, which may affect the generalization of the conclusion of this study. Future research can extend the scope of the study to graduates and new employees to study their job hunting, entry, occupation adaptation. Second, the present study focused more on the relationship between variables at the individual level of college students. Future research may consider the impact of organizational and school-level variables.
