This aim of this study is to examine the direct effects of organizational ethical climate and perceived work ability on military career adaptation and the role of core self–evaluation in such relationships among military personnel career adaptation in Nigeria. The conceptual model and hypotheses of the current study are presented in line with a review of theoretical literature and research background. The required data for the research were collected through the use of self-report measures of organizational ethical climate, perceived work-ability, career adaptation and core self-evaluation distributed to the military personnel. The conceptual model of the study was tested using Model 1 Hayes regression-based PROCESS macro for SPSS based on the data collected. The results showed that organizational ethical climate, perceived work ability and core self-evaluation independently, and significantly correlated with career adaptation. Also, core self-evaluation did not have any buffer effect on the relationship between organizational ethical climate and perceived work ability on military career adaptation.
