Changes in the occupational environment have implications for career development in the future. This paper was framed to examine the relationship of career development planning with career development satisfaction and career development commitment behavior among Korean employees. Specifically, it delved on the proposed mediated model on perceived organizational support and leader-member exchange relationships. The empirical analysis focused on Korean organizational employees on a nationwide scale with data collected from 239 Koera companies. To test reliability and construct validity of variables, a reliability test and factor analysis were conducted in the process of testing the proposed hypotheses. The results of the study are as follows;
First, career development planning has a positive influence on career development satisfaction as well as career development commitment. Second, the mediating effects of perceived organizational support and leader-member exchange between career development planning and the two outcomes(career development satisfaction and career development commitment) were partly accepted. Results suggest that when organizations make efforts to develop their managers, these managers become more committed to the organization and also are more likely to develop their employees. These results give some theoretical contributions to career development research literature relative to career theory generalization. In addition, the findings have a place in human resource policy making in organizations.
