Abstract

This study investigated the impacts of career future time perspective on occupational self-efficacy, organizational commitment, career commitment, turnover intention, and career development. Data was collected from full-time employees (N = 400) working at various private companies through online survey. The results from path model showed that career future time perspective influenced occupational self-efficacy, organizational commitment, career commitment, turnover intention, and career development. Additionally, the results from multi-group analysis indicated that the path from career future time perspective to career commitment was different along with age and job title. The results of this study suggested that career future time perspective has predictive role in job attitudes and career behavior among employees.
