From Veterans to Civil Servants: The Loss and Reconstruction of Psychological Capital in the Career Transition of Transferred Personnel - A Tracking Study Based on Pre-Employment Training in a City

This paper takes transferred personnel in a city as the research object, and systematically explores the dynamic change mechanism of their psychological capital during the career transition from "veterans" to "civil servants" from the perspective of psychological capital theory and career development, through questionnaire surveys, in-depth interviews, and case tracking. The study finds that transferred personnel face significant challenges in adjusting their psychological capital during the transition, with a 28.3% decrease in self-efficacy and a 19.7% decrease in resilience scores. The core difficulties include difficulties in adapting to role transitions, poor skill transfer, and delayed reconstruction of social networks. Scenario-based teaching and psychological counseling modules in pre-employment training can effectively help reconstruct psychological capital, among which "post simulation training" has the most significant improvement on the resilience dimension (β=0.32, p<0.01). The study proposes a capacity improvement path from the perspective of individual adaptation, providing a practical reference for the career transition of transferred personnel.
