Abstract

The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between antecedent variables and subjective career success. Also, this study focused to investigate a moderating effect of gender difference between varieties antecedent variables and career success. Data were collected from 315 white collar employees who have been employed more than 3 years. The result of this study showed that subjective career success was significantly explained by sex role identity, political behaviors, career planning, school ties and regional relation, supervisor support, networking, and person-job fit. Gender moderated the relationship between career planning, networking and career satisfaction. Based on these results, the implications and limitations of this study and the directions for future research were discussed.
