Abstract

We examined how future time perspective (FTP) is related to the career-related variables of occupational self-efficacy, career commitment, and organizational commitment, and how it indirectly influences turnover intention. Full-time employees (N = 555) in a wide range of industries participated in this research. We used structural equation modeling and the biased-corrected bootstrapping method of testing for mediation to analyze the data. Results showed that FTP had a direct effect on occupational self-efficacy and career commitment and an indirect effect on turnover intention through the mediators of occupational self-efficacy and career commitment. Occupational self-efficacy indirectly influenced turnover intention through the mediators of career commitment and organizational commitment. Implications of FTP in the field of human resources are discussed.
