Effect of career development on employee performance through work satisfaction


Employee performance is the outcome attained by an employee in terms of both quality and quantity, as demonstrated by their talents and abilities in completing their task in accordance with the company's standards as dictated by the responsibilities assigned. Through job happiness, this study seeks to explain how career progression affects employee performance.


About Career development and employee performance

Career progression affects attempts to increase performance (Alfa, 2018). Consequently, career development does not just entail promotion to a higher rank or position; it also refers to the encouragement or drive to grow professionally within an organization if one's career takes off, which implies that a pay raise will have an impact on workers' output. According to Khan et al. (2016), providing employees with adequate training and development opportunities can motivate them to advance their skills, which will affect the outcomes of their work. Choosing the correct career development program can help people perform better.

Employee job satisfaction will also be impacted by a clear career development plan. Employee job satisfaction, according to Sujaat et al. (2013), depends on career development options within the firm. By engaging in all career development activities, employers can boost employee job satisfaction, which in turn boosts productivity and work efficiency.

 

Two factor theory


Frederick Hertzberg's "Two-Factor Hypothesis," also known as the "Theory of Pure Motivation," is a theory that ties intrinsic variables with job happiness and external elements with job dissatisfaction (motivation-hygiene theory). Herzberg contends that the elements that contribute to job happiness are independent of and distinct from those that contribute to job discontent. Herzberg classifies factors including the standard of supervision, pay, business policy, the physical working environment, interpersonal relationships, and job security as pure factors in Robbins & Judge (2015: 130). (hygiene factor). When such elements are sufficient, employees won't be unhappy, but they also won't be satisfied (or motivated). Hertzberg advises placing a focus on elements associated with the job itself or with outcomes that may be received directly from the employment, such as career opportunities, personal growth opportunities, recognition, responsibilities, and successes.

 

Employee performance

Performance (work performance) is the quality and amount of work completed by an employee while performing the obligations assigned to him (Mangkunegara, 2013: 67).

Job satisfaction

Job satisfaction, according to Handoko (2014: 193), is a positive or negative emotional state that employees have toward their work. Having a fulfilling job indicates how one feels about their employment. Job satisfaction, according to Hasibuan (2001: 202) is an emotional state characterized by enjoyment and a passion of one's work. Work ethics, discipline, and productivity all reflect this approach.

Career development

All roles or occupations one holds during their working life are considered careers. Career development is the personal growth a person makes to carry out a career strategy. According to Dessler (2014: 379), career development is a sequence of ongoing activities (like workshops) that help one explore, define, succeed in, and accomplish their career goals.

 

Effect of career development on employee performance

Career development contributes to the improvement of workers' abilities to accomplish their jobs, therefore if workers can correctly grow, their performance will constantly be enhanced. The findings of this study support those of earlier research by Cedaryana et al. (2018), which found that career development had a favorable and substantial impact on worker performance. The claim that career development has a favorable and significant impact on performance is supported by Dewi and Mudiartha (2016). The performance of employees in carrying out their duties and obligations will be impacted by their career development. The findings of this study are consistent with those of Alfa (2018), who found that attempts to enhance performance are influenced by career advancement. High career advancement chances will inspire employees to perform more in order to meet company goals.
