“…Protean careers require greater responsibility, and individuals need to display initiative when selecting, creating and influencing their work circumstances and likelihood of success. Indeed, studies have shed light on the importance of a protean career attitude for career development and success (Bester, 2019;Cortellazzo et al, 2020;Hall et al, 2018;Lim et al, 2021;Sultana & Malik, 2019). Protean career attitude has been found to be associated with several career outcomes, such as higher perceived employability (Nimmi et al, 2020), greater career satisfaction (Herrmann et al, 2015;Zhang et al, 2015) and more career success (Hall et al, 2018;Rodrigues et al, 2019).…”

This research sought to investigate how academics with a protean career attitude perceived success in their academic career. The role of perceived employability was examined by distinguishing between external and internal employability perceptions. Data from 288 academics working in Malaysian universities were collected and analysed using structural equation modelling. The findings revealed that a protean career attitude had no significant direct relationship with career success; rather, it had an indirect effect on success via perceived employability. Both external and internal perceived employability fully mediated the relationship between protean career attitude and career success, with perceived external employability having a stronger direct and mediating effect on academic career success. This study suggests that academic staff depend upon external employment opportunities to pursue success in academia. The implications of study findings are discussed, along with limitations and future research directions.

“…In exchange for career satisfaction, achievement and social connection, they used their skills and knowledge to help their organisations grow. Entrepreneurs in modern businesses must be well-versed, skilled and talented in navigating the complexities of their environment (Bester, 2019). For this reason, successful entrepreneurs place a high priority on learning new skills and knowledge that will help them become even more successful.…”

Purpose This study aims to investigate the influence of creativity and resource availability on career competencies (CC) and career success (CS) of entrepreneurs in Nigeria using the intelligent career framework. Design/methodology/approach Data was obtained using answers to questionnaires given to 348 successful entrepreneurs. The data was analysed using non-parametric software (Smart-PLS). Findings The results indicate that entrepreneurs who possess “know-why”, “know-how” and “know-whom” can access the required resources and are doing well in their careers. It is suggested that these competencies were significantly related to entrepreneurial CS. Resource availability moderates the relationship of knowing-how, knowing-why competencies and CS, whilst creativity moderates only the link between knowing-whom and entrepreneurial CS. Research limitations/implications The results help us to comprehend better the nature of successful entrepreneurial careers and the prominent role of tripartite competencies in achieving a successful career. Also emphasised here is the prominence of a more holistic perspective of these components based on a mix of social, motivational and human capital. Practical implications These findings hinted that entrepreneurs should pay uniform consideration in fostering each CC. There are implications for career advisers, practitioners and entrepreneurship programmes. Originality/value To the authors’ best knowledge, this is first-of-its-kind research that used primary source data in understanding CC – “knowing-how, knowing-whom and knowing-why” – with entrepreneurs’ CS in Nigeria.

“…Therefore, school counselors as professional workers should aim to obtain career well-being by feeling satisfied with their long-term career and current career achievements, as well as preparing for future career advancement, all of which is commonly called as career well-being. Bester (2018) argued that career wellbeing is influenced by several factors, such as race, sex, age, professional qualifications, job position, and years of service. A person with higher career well-being tends to have the knowledge and skills needed in the workforce (Brown & Hesketh, 2004;Kidd, 2008).…”

This study aims to describe the career well-being of school counselors in Indonesia. This study was conducted quantitatively using a quantitative descriptive analysis. The population of this study was all school counselors in Indonesia. The selection of population was made by the researchers because there is no standard Career well-being Scale in the Indonesian context. The sample consisted of 1,000 school counselors throughout Indonesia, selected using simple random sampling technique. The data was collected using the Career Well-Being Scale based on Coetzee’s theory. The study began with the development of the Career Well-Being Scale, followed by the distribution of the scale through Google Form, data collection, and data analysis. Data analysis was performed using percentage statistical formula. The results showed that the difference in career well-being of school counselors had a Sig value of 0.00. Obtaining a Sig value < 0.05 indicates that there is a significant difference in the career well-being of school counselors with four different educational qualifications. Educational qualifications influence the career well-being of Indonesian school counselors. School counselors with a master’s degree and a PPG certification have higher career well-being than school counselors with a bachelor’s degree
