Abstract

Against the backdrop of dynamic evolution in social structures and occupational systems, individual upward mobility and career development paths are closely intertwined, constituting a core issue concerning personal value realization and social vitality. As key actors in cultivating skilled talents, the career development of vocational college class advisors not only relates to personal achievement but also influences the healthy development of the vocational education ecosystem. From the perspective of attachment theory, this study aims to explore how the “secure attachment relationship” constructed between vocational college class advisors and their direct supervisors affects their career prospects. Through a questionnaire survey of 125 vocational college class advisors, the results indicate: (1) There is a significant positive correlation between class advisor_–supervisor secure attachment and the class advisors’ promotion opportunities. (2) Organizational trust plays a partial mediating role between class advisor_–supervisor secure attachment and promotion opportunities. This research not only provides a theoretical explanation based on the attachment perspective for understanding the mechanisms through which interpersonal relationships within educational organizations influence career development, but also offers practical insights for vocational colleges to optimize management practices and foster the professional growth and career development of class advisors by constructing supportive leadership relationships.
