Potential moderating influence of career growth opportunities on careerist orientation and work attitudes: evidence of the protean career era in Singapore

Article Abstract:

Careerist orientation creates a negligible impact on the level of organizational committment and job involvement, as proven by a regression analysis involving a sample of full-time professional workers in Singapore. Results indicate that increased levels of careerist orientation tend to result in conflicting interests between employees and corporate owners, thereby inducing low job involvement and increased turnover ratio. Statistics further imply that organizations may not redirect the negative impact of careerist orientation through improved work attitudes.

The role of human capital, motivation and supervisor sponsorship in predicting career success

Article Abstract:

The contest- and sponsored-mobility models proposed by Turner (1960) was used to evaluate the impact of supervisor sponsorship, human capital and motivation on career development. An analysis conducted on 245 supervisor-subordinate dyads suggest that sponsored mobility variables, including supervisor relationship, are vital in determining the success of an employee's career. Leader-member exchange is particularly essential in determining promotability, career satisfaction and salary progression.

Antecedents of early career stage mentoring among Chinese employees

Article Abstract:

The adoption of protege-initiated mentoring programs has been found to create a considerable impact on the personality characteristics of extraversion. Results derived from a regression analysis involving Hong Kong Chinese graduate employees suggest that both opportunities for interaction and individual development culture are directly proportional to the degree of mentoring received. Such a result however, is non-existent for situational characteristics.
