| Summary: | 碩士 === 國立中央大學 === 人力資源管理研究所 === 102 === Employees start to develop their career by themselves using basics of economic factors and developing their own capacities because they suffer from pressure of salary freeze and layoff in recent years.
Eby, Butts, and Lockwood (2003) suggested that perceived internal marketability, perceived external marketability and career satisfaction are three indicators of boundaryless career success. They explored the relationship between independent variables (knowing why, knowing how, knowing whom) and dependent variables (perceived internal marketability, perceived external marketability, career satisfaction). They also found significant positive relationship between three independent variables and three dependent variables. However, this study indicated that there may be a negative relationship between perceived external marketability and career satisfaction through literature review. If the hypothesis is correct, there may be some flaws in Eby, Butts, and Lockwood’s model. In other words, if knowing why, knowing how, knowing whom have positive relationship with perceived external marketability and career satisfaction, why perceived external marketability affects to career success negatively? This doubt has not been discussed in their study.
This study suggests that perceived marketability and career satisfaction do not fit on the same level. We used knowing why, knowing how, knowing whom as independent variables, perceived internal marketability and perceived external marketability as intervening variables, and career satisfaction as the dependent variable. This study conducted 217 samples to analysis by SEM and found that there was truly a negative relationship between perceived external marketability and career satisfaction, and a positive relationship between perceived internal marketability and career satisfaction. We also found that challenging job experiences (knowing why) affects career satisfaction through perceived internal and external marketability, and the main effect still exists. Learning and development (knowing how) affects career satisfaction through perceived internal marketability, but the main effect disappears. There is no relationship between Relationships (knowing whom) and career satisfaction.
