Int J Environ Res Public Health. 2022 Sep 5;19(17):11121. doi: 10.3390/ijerph191711121.

Abstract

Career success is often seen as identical to objective matters such as high income and position. Meanwhile, one can see their success better when they build their own criteria of career success. In this regard, the present study aims to see the effect of internal (i.e., career commitment and professional commitment) and external variables (leader-member exchange and perceived organizational support) on teachers' subjective career success. This quantitative study involved 320 teachers as participants, recruited using the accidental sampling technique. The data were collected using The Career Commitment Measure, Professional Commitment Scale, Leader-Member Exchange Multidimensionality, Survey of Perceived Organizational Support, and Subjective Career Success Inventory. The analysis result shows that career commitment, professional commitment, leader-member exchange, and perceived organizational support significantly affect teachers' career success.

Keywords: antecedent; career commitment; leader–member exchange; perceived organizational support; professional commitment; subjective career success; teacher.
