Abstract Career adaptability is the psycho-social resource for employees to cope with various work environments. However, how to promote science and technology employees' career adaptability in technological enterprises in the way of effective management remains to be studied. To answer this question, the study developed a cross-level moderated mediation model to investigate the roles of employees' proactive behavior, transformational leadership that play in the relationship between job variety and career adaptability. Multisource data was collected from 78 leaders and 274 followers in the matched questionnaire survey in 2 phases. The result shows that: job variety has positive effect on career adaptability;and the employees' proactive behavior mediates the relationship between job variety and career adaptability. Meanwhile, transformational leadership moderates the mediation effect of proactive behavior. In other words, when the transformational leadership is higher, there exists the mediation effect of proactive behavior;when the transformational leadership is lower, the mediation effect does not salient.
