Abstract
- Career success is a way for individuals to fulfill their need for achievement and power. Because it improves people's quantity or quality of life, the study of who can get ahead and why is of interest and value (Kilduff and Day, 1994). Research on career success benefits both individuals and organizations (Aryee et al., 1994; Schein, 1978). At the individual level, career success refers to acquisition of materialistic advancement, power, and satisfaction (Gattiker and Larwood, 1990, 1988; Judge et al., 1995; Poole et al., 1990). Knowledge of career success helps individuals develop appropriate strategies for career development (Aryee et al., 1994; Ellis and Heneman, 1990). At the organization level, knowledge of the relationship between personality and career success helps human resource managers design effective career systems (Aryee et al., 1994). The purpose of this paper is to develop a conceptual model and propose testable hypotheses linking personality and career success at the individual level of analysis (Gunz and Jalland, 1996).
