How the career commitment of medical university students can be improved is an underinvestigated topic
Previous studies have proven that person– organization fit can significantly predict organizational commitment and career satisfaction, and other studies have begun to search for similar ties among person– vocation fit, career commitment, and career satisfaction
Subsequent studies found that Core self-evaluation (CSE) is positively related to the salary, career commitment, and capacity of individuals to cope with organizational changes [5]
Summary
How the career commitment of medical university students can be improved is an underinvestigated topic. Previous studies have proven that person– organization fit can significantly predict organizational commitment and career satisfaction, and other studies have begun to search for similar ties among person– vocation fit, career commitment, and career satisfaction. Both person–organization fit and person–vocation fit consistency fit, which is merely a part of person–vocation fit. Extant studies indicate that vocational value–career fit can significantly predict the career satisfaction of individuals [3]. Subsequent studies found that CSE is positively related to the salary, career commitment, and capacity of individuals to cope with organizational changes [5]
