Abstract:

Today, employees prefer to work in jobs where they can continually advance their knowledge and skills, where they can determine their working hours and conditions, where their private lives are taken into account, where their lives are meaningful, where they are happy. Therefore, career success means that it changes meaning and requires the individual not to be satisfied with the organization in which he works, but to be satisfied with the impact of his career spread throughout the field. Such a success orientation requires a career planning that exceeds the organization’s practices and is oriented towards the success criteria that the individual sets out to himself. In individual career planning, demographic factors, economic and social factors, the laws determined by the state, the social and political factors within the country are the main determiners. The aim of this study is to reveal what are the factors that influence the career planning of newly started teachers at Pamukkale University and how much these factors influence.
