Organizational career management practices, career satisfaction, and intention to quit among Indian employee: Examining the moderating effect of ‘four types of work experience’

Abstract

This study examined the interactive effect of organizational career management practices and different types of work experience on career satisfaction and intention to quit the organization in 386 Indian employees. The results showed that after controlling for the effect of the demographic variables and organizational career management practices, different types of work experience played unique roles in predicting career satisfaction and intention to quit the organization. It was found that that organizational career management practices correlated positively with career satisfaction and negatively with intention to quit the organization. The results further showed that organizational experience moderated the relationship between organizational career management practices and career satisfaction, and organizational tenure moderated the relationship between organizational career management practices and intention to quit. These findings carry implication for research and practice on career satisfaction and intention to quit the organization.
