Abstract

As a positive psychological trait, psychological capital is highly correlated with college students' career planning, self-efficacy, academic achievement, and employability. It influences the adaptation and developmental extent of college students' future careers, as well as the overall teaching quality and competitiveness of higher education institutions. Therefore, the importance of cultivating psychological capital in career planning education for college students continues to be emphasized. By studying the effects of psychological capital on career planning and its cultivation methods, this research aims to provide scientific guidance for college students' career planning, helping them clarify career goals and enhance employability.
