In today’s fast-paced and competitive job market, the capacity to adapt to career changes and challenges is essential for long-term success. Transitioning from academia to a professional career can be challenging for learners. Career adaptability is a trait that students utilise to navigate uncertainty in the workplace. Although numerous studies compared working and non-working students, few have specifically examined their career adaptability in the local context. Most existing research centers on post-employment outcomes such as job satisfaction and career growth, with limited attention given to the demographics of currently enrolled university students. This comparative study explored the career adaptability of university students in the Philippines. Using the Career Adaptability Assessment Scale (CAAS), data were collected from both groups through an online questionnaire. An independent samples t-test was used to compare the means of career adaptability dimensions and overall career adaptability between working and non-working students. Results showed a significant difference in career confidence (p = 0.002, d = -0.44) and overall career adaptability (p = 0.04, d = -0.29) between the two groups, demonstrating higher levels in working students. Furthermore, no significant difference was observed in terms of career concern (p = 0.18), career control (p = 0.43), and career curiosity (p = 0.45). These findings suggest that while employment status is associated with differences in career adaptability and confidence among students, the practical effect size of this difference is limited. The findings identify potential areas for targeted institutional support for student career development.

The growing presence of artificial intelligence (AI) in everyday life has opened new possibilities for supporting psychological well-being, including the use of AI-generated affirmations to strengthen positive self-perceptions. This study investigated whether AI-generated affirmations could influence the self-confidence of Filipino college students. Using a quasi-experimental pretest-posttest control group design, the study involved 280 undergraduate students from a private university in the Philippines. Participants were assigned either to an experimental group that received AI-generated affirmations or to a control group that did not receive the intervention. Self-confidence was measured before and after the intervention using a standardized self-report scale. Data were analyzed through paired-samples and independent-samples t-tests to examine changes within and between groups. Findings showed a significant increase in self-confidence among students who received the AI-generated affirmations, whereas the control group showed no significant change. These results suggest that even brief, automated affirmations may help improve how students view themselves, particularly in relation to confidence. The findings also point to the potential of AI-based tools as accessible and scalable forms of support for student well-being in educational settings. More broadly, the study contributes to the growing discussion on how AI can be used not only for academic tasks, but also for psychological and emotional support among students.
