| Summary: | Examination of the career literature indicated that career success studies did not consider
the diverse effects of the individual, structural and behavioral approaches. In addition,
there were less career success studies in testing the moderating role of gender and
managerial level. Thus, this study aims to examine the factors explaining career success
(objective and subjective) of managers and the moderating roles of gender and
managerial level in the relationships between the career success variables. This crosssectional
correlational study was conducted on 288 managers of various managerial
grades who worked in several public organizations in Putrajaya, the federal
administrative center of Malaysia, and managers who attended the training program
conducted by the National Institute for Public Administration. They were chosen using a
stratified random sampling procedure. A quantitative survey was designed using selfadministered
questionnaire. Managers' career success was conceptualized using the
Social Cognitive Career Theory (SCCT). The theory highlights the three main career
success approaches and the reciprocal person-environment interactions, all of which
explain individual's career success. |
