Abstract: This longitudinal study aimed to test the mediating role of career adaptability in the relationship between optimism and subjective well-being. A total of 246 university students formed the final sample. The data were collected using the Optimism Scale, Positive and Negative Affect Schedule, Career Adaptability Scale, and Satisfaction with Life Scale. The data were analyzed using a cross-lagged panel model. A one-unit increase in Optimism Time 1 was related to a unit increase in Career Adaptability Time 2. In addition, a one-unit increase in Career Adaptability at Time 1 was related to a unit increase in Subjective Well-being at Time 2.
