Özet:

Literature review demonstrates that two topics have been emphasized by theoretical and empirical studies on career success. The first one is the objective and subjective facets of career success, while the second one is the determinants of career success. With response to the need for empirical research, this study investigates both objective and subjective facets of career success. We therefore investigate the effect of career commitment on objective and subjective career success. The reason why career commitment is taken into consideration is that the increased importance of career commitment for employees in order to cope with uncertain, unstable, and insecure working life. Based on the data from 242 white-collar employees, the results of regression analyses demonstrate that career commitment is positively related to the indicators of objective career success including salary, promotion, and hierarchical status. Regarding the subjective career success, it is found that career commitment is positively related to career satisfaction.
