The Influence of Career Adaptability, Resilience and Proactive Career Behavior on Career Sustainability Following a Merger in The Indonesian Aviation Sector

This study examines the influence of career adaptability, resilience, and proactive career behavior on employees’ career sustainability at PT Angkasa Pura Indonesia in the post-merger period under InJourney. The research is motivated by job uncertainty, cultural shifts, and career sustainability challenges following the merger of PT Angkasa Pura I and II. A total of 209 permanent employees were selected through purposive sampling. The study employed a quantitative survey approach, and data were analyzed using Structural Equation Modeling with the Partial Least Squares (SEM-PLS) method. The findings reveal that career adaptability, resilience, and proactive career behavior significantly and positively affect career sustainability. However, proactive career behavior mediates only the effect of resilience on career sustainability, but not the effect of career adaptability. These results emphasize the importance of strengthening adaptability, psychological resilience, and proactive behaviors in sustaining employees’ careers amid organizational transformation.
