Relationship between Career Competencies and Career Success in a Boundaryless Career

This research seeks to identify predictors of success in the boundaryless career using the three classes of career competencies: ‘knowing why’, ‘knowing whom’, and ‘knowing how’. Three criteria of career success were examined: perceived career success, perceived internal marketability, and perceived external marketability. Participants in this study were the MBA graduates and students of USM. They consisted of 41 males and 77 females. This study used multiple regression analysis to test the correlation in between the predictions and the multiple perspective of career success.

The result of this study indicates that ‘knowing why’, ‘knowing whom’, and ‘knowing how’ career competencies partially lead to the career success. For ‘knowing why’, the study showed that career insight is positively and significantly related to perceived external marketability. Another predictor, proactive personality is positively and significantly related to perceived internal marketability. On the other hand, for ‘knowing whom’, the only significant relationship found is internal networks where it is positively relates to perceived internal marketability. Besides, the study also showed that career identity being positively and significantly related all three criteria of success.

Lastly, theoretical implication, practical implication, and directions for future research are presented.
