Abstract

Against the backdrop of global economic volatility, this study aims to address the dilemmas faced by college students in career planning—such as lack of internal motivation, cognitive limitations, stagnant action, and weak adaptability—and explore how psychological resources empower college students' career planning from a theoretical perspective. The paper first defines the connotations of psychological resources and empowerment-oriented career planning, then systematically constructs a theoretical model of psychological resources empowering career planning based on the Conservation of Resources Theory and the Social Cognitive Career Theory. Finally, drawing on this model, it provides theoretical support and practical suggestions for colleges and universities to develop empowerment-based career education. This study offers internal support for college students' career development, helping them cope with employment uncertainty and achieve the sustainable integration of personal value and career development.
