Exploring the Interplay between Career Orientations, Career Satisfaction, and Organizational Commitment among Technical Professionals

Abstract

This study investigates the intricate relationship among career orientations, career satisfaction, and organizational commitment among technical professionals. Using a mixed-methods approach, including surveys and interviews, the research delves into how different career orientations, such as career development, career stability, and career flexibility, influence the career satisfaction and organizational commitment of technical professionals within various organizational settings. The study examines the mediating role of career satisfaction in the relationship between career orientations and organizational commitment, shedding light on the mechanisms through which individuals' career attitudes shape their commitment to their organizations. Additionally, the research explores the moderating effects of contextual factors, such as organizational culture and career advancement opportunities, on the relationship between career orientations, career satisfaction, and organizational commitment. By offering a nuanced understanding of these interrelationships, this study contributes to both theoretical advancements in career psychology and practical implications for talent management and organizational development strategies targeted at enhancing the engagement and retention of technical professionals.
