Abstract

Bilgi üreten ve bilgi yayan kurumların başarısı, kurum çalışanlarının sahip oldukları özelliklere dayanmaktadır. Yükseköğretim kurumlarında kalite ve başarısının önkoşulu olarak akademik personelin bilgisi ve yaratıcılığı gelmektedir. Bu doğrultuda, akademik personelden de bireysel performanslarını artırması beklenmektedir. Bu çalışmada da, kariyer başarısını doğrudan ve dolaylı etkileyen sınırsız kariyer ile kariyer bağlılığı incelenmiştir. Bu amaçla, Antalya ilinde bulunan bir üniversitedeki 181 akademik personele "sınırsız kariyer ölçeği", "kariyer bağlılığı ölçeği" ve "kariyer başarısı ölçeği" uygulanmıştır. Yapısal Eşitlik Modellemesi sonucu; sınırsız kariyerin kariyer bağlılığı ve kariyer başarısı, kariyer bağlılığının kariyer başarısı üzerinde pozitif etkisi olduğu tespit edilmiştir. Ayrıca, sınırsız kariyerin kariyer başarısı üzerine etkisinde kariyer bağlılığının aracılık rolü olduğu belirlenmiştir.
