The relationship between perceived employability and subjective career success among teachers

Individuals have two assessments in viewing career success, one of which is assessing success subjectively. Career success is success that comes from internal criteria of individuals. Among the many evaluations of career success, it is obtained through work experience. This work experience makes individuals evaluate their abilities, which is called perceived employability. In the context of teachers, these abilities are used to face the work environment in the future. The purpose of this study is to examine the relationship between perceived work ability and teachers' subjective career success. The study population consists of male or female teachers who hold appointment letters as permanent or non-permanent teachers at a foundation or as civil servants (ASN), and have at least five years of work experience, selected using quota sampling from 20 schools. The method used in this study is correlation analysis. The instruments used in this study were the perceived employability scale and the Subjective Career Success Inventory (SCSI). This study used the Pearson Product Moment correlation test analysis technique, and the results were analysed by dimension. The results of this study indicate that the internal perceived employability dimension is related to the subjective career success dimension, including the dimensions of recognition, quality of work, influence, authenticity, personal life, growth and development, and satisfaction. Furthermore, the external perceived employability dimension is related to the subjective career success dimension, including the dimensions of recognition, quality of work, influence, authenticity, and satisfaction. In conclusion, the internal perceived employability dimension is related to all dimensions of subjective career success. Meanwhile, the external perceived employability dimension is not related to all dimensions of subjective career success
