6. While most previous literatures in well-being originated from the western backgrounds with industrial context, this paper one of the few studies that have investigated the interaction among protean career orientation and career goal development on psychological well-being among professional engineers in Malaysia. Theoretically, the contribution comes from the dependent variable, namely psychological well-being. Despite the huge turn of research focus among the behaviorists to well-being, studies looking from the local lens are still lacking on the well-being paradigm. Realizing the importance of the need to take account of psychological well-being, this study analyzed the impact of protean career orientation and career goal development on psychological well-being by using professional engineers as its respondents. Professional engineers were used as respondents because of their nature of work and the suitability of these three variables with the engineers. This is a quantitative study. Therefore, questionnaires were designed by adopting well established measurement items on the respective variables. Three hypotheses were formulated to achieve the research objectives and to answer the research questions. PLS was used as the tool for data analysis. However, later it can be concluded that this study recorded a mixed finding. All hypotheses were accepted. In summary, professional engineers in Malaysia indicated that career goal development did not mediate the relationship between protean career orientation and psychological well-being. The justification and rationalization have been elaborated in detail in the discussion section. Similar to other studies, this study also has certain limitations. First, this study was a cross-sectional study; the findings may be different if the study were to apply a qualitative approach. The result might be different, if the behavior of the professional engineers can be observed. Thus, we recommend that in future, researchers might want to consider conducting a longitudinal type of study instead of using the cross-sectional approach. Since this study used professional engineers as its sample, the parameters of research might change if different types of professional groups were used. Thus, future researchers might want to consider a comparative study among various groups of professional employees.

6. Terwyl die meeste vorige letterkundes in welsyn ontstaan ​​uit die westelike agtergronde met industriële konteks, hierdie vraestel een van die min studies wat die interaksie tussen veranderend beroepsoriëntering en loopbaan doel ontwikkeling op psigologiese welstand onder professionele ingenieurs in Maleisië ondersoek. Teoreties, die bydrae kom van die afhanklike veranderlike, naamlik sielkundige welstand. Ten spyte van die groot beurt van die navorsing fokus onder die behaviorists om welstand, is studies soek van die plaaslike lens nog ontbreek op die welstand paradigma. Besef die belangrikheid van die behoefte om grond van sielkundige welstand te neem, hierdie studie ontleed die impak van veranderend beroepsoriëntering en loopbaan doel ontwikkeling op psigologiese welstand deur die gebruik van professionele ingenieurs as sy respondente. Professionele ingenieurs is gebruik as respondente as gevolg van die aard van hul werk en die geskiktheid van hierdie drie veranderlikes met die ingenieurs. Dit is 'n kwantitatiewe studie. Daarom is vraelyste is ontwerp deur die aanneming van goed gevestigde meting items op die onderskeie veranderlikes. Drie hipoteses is geformuleer om die navorsing te bereik en om die navorsingsvrae te beantwoord. PLS is gebruik as die instrument vir data-analise. Maar later kan dit afgelei word dat hierdie studie het 'n gemengde bevinding. Alle hipoteses aanvaar. In opsomming, professionele ingenieurs in Maleisië het aangedui dat loopbaan doel die ontwikkeling van die verhouding tussen veranderend beroepsoriëntering en sielkundige welstand nie bemiddel. Die regverdiging en rasionalisering is opgestel in detail in die artikel bespreek. Soortgelyk aan ander studies, hierdie studie het ook sekere beperkings. Eerstens, hierdie studie was 'n deursnee-studie; die bevindinge kan anders wees indien die studie was om 'n kwalitatiewe benadering toe te pas. Die resultaat dalk anders wees, indien die gedrag van die professionele ingenieurs waargeneem kan word. So, beveel ons aan dat in die toekoms, kan navorsers wil oorweeg om 'n longitudinale tipe studie in plaas van die gebruik van die deursnee-benadering. Aangesien hierdie studie gebruik professionele ingenieurs as sy voorbeeld, kan die parameters van die navorsing te verander as verskillende tipes professionele groepe is gebruik. Dus, kan toekomstige navorsers wil 'n vergelykende studie tussen die verskillende groepe van professionele mense te oorweeg.
