This study, with a focus on the relational dimension in career development, explored the relationships between employees' interpersonal competencies for career and their perception of career success. Methodologically, quantitative data were collected from 109 bank personnel in Taiwan, and structural equation modeling was employed to examine the hypothesized relationships of the variables. In addition, qualitative data were given to enrich our theoretical understanding of the context where the findings were analyzed and demonstrated within 13 bank personnel's daily work and career experiences. Quantitative results showed that work contexts should be taken into account, while linking two dimensions of interpersonal competencies for career (i.e. bonding and bridging social capital) to three indicators of career success (i.e. career satisfaction, task performance, and contextual performance). Statistically, a significant relationship was found between the bank personnel's competencies for bonding social capital and contextual performance. The relationship between the bank personnel's competencies for bridging social capital and task performance was significant as well. However, the relationships between the competencies for bonding or bridging social capital and career satisfaction were only partially supported. Qualitative results provided another source of findings supporting these quantitative results, and also highlighted direction for further investigations. Implications for human resource management were recommended. |
