Findings: The findings indicated that job embeddedness was positively and significantly related to career success.

Conclusion: The findings broaden the management field by providing new perspectives into how workers’ job embeddedness impacts career success. The study contributed to the existing research to point out the importance of workers’ career success and development needs in the management field and practice. Improving work environments and policies to meet workers’ developing career success needs and job embeddedness may be critical to sustaining employee–organization communication and encouraging them.
