A Study of the Relationship between Career Self-reliance and Sense of Responsibility for the Organization -Focusing on the Moderating Effect of Career Choice and Interpersonal Relationships-

This study focused on the concept of sense of responsibility for the organization and attempted to capture the relationship between career self-reliance and willingness of behavior for contributing to the organization. We conducted a survey of 300 employees of Company X (a general chemical manufacturer) and analyzed the results. The results revealed that organizational support of employees' career self-reliance does not encourage employees to leave their organizations, but rather leads to a sense of contribution to the organization. In particular, it was confirmed that increasing the desire for independent career development, clarity of professional self-image, and networking behavior leads to employees' positive motivation toward the organization, organizational change, and readiness to take on important organizational responsibilities.
