The present study aimed to explore the effect of positive and negative creativity on the career construction process during adolescence. Since creativity has been conceptualized as a useful resource for identity construction, we tested the influence of creativity on future orientation, assessing the role of career adaptability. 338 high school students participated to the study. Structural equation model showed gender differences since hypothesized relations were only found significant in females. Results highlight a different function of positive creativity in Italian boys and girls. The use of creativity in career counseling for adolescents, through technological tools, is discussed.
