Abstract
The present study aimed to investigate the influence of work passion and career exploration on the relationship between family influence and career calling. The survey sample consisted of 410 primary and middle school teachers from 12 public schools in China (female = 353; mean age = 32.91 years, SD = 6.75 years). Results indicated that a positive family influence predicted a higher career calling. Furthermore, work passion and career exploration mediated the relationship between family influence and career calling. Additionally, career exploration mediated the relationship between work passion and career calling, increasing the prediction of career calling. Our findings suggest that family influence is an important resource for career calling in the presence of work passion and career exploration.
