Purpose - Post-pandemic circumstances and rapid globalization demand organizations to restructure jobs and working environments that increase the unpredictability of career development and increase the responsibility of individuals for career success. Therefore, this study is designed to understand how distinct aspects, i.e., leadership and personal, encourage career success. For that purpose, this study investigates the impact of leadership humility on career success with the intervening mechanism of career adaptability. Moreover, this study also examines the moderating role of a proactive personality.
Design/methodology/approach - We evaluated the proposed hypotheses of this study, using a sample of 293 participants from manufacturing and service sector organizations through simple random sampling and with a time-lag approach. Findings - Results of this study show that leadership humility is highly related to career success, and career adaptability mediates the relationship between leadership humility and career success. We also found that highly proactive individuals are more confident in coping with the unpredictability of career success with higher leadership humility. Our moderated mediation results indicate that a proactive personality moderates the indirect effect of leadership humility on career success via career adaptability.
Practical Implications- The findings of this study contribute to the career management and social cognitive career theory by explaining leadership humility and proactive personality within a comprehensive resource framework for career success. These results emphasize the meaning of leadership humility to support career adaptability, which leads to higher career success.
Originality/value - This study explains the mechanism of leadership humility and career success by examining the mediating role of career adaptability; moreover, this study also explains the role of personal characteristics/traits (proactivity personality) for career adaptability and career success.
