Summary:This study aims to identify the determinants of employee career goals. By utilising social cognitive career theory, self-regulatory focus theory, and perceived organisational support theory, constructs and measures were derived from existing literature. A pilot study was conducted with 51 marine engineers in a rectangular hierarchy occupation in Sri Lanka. The reliability and validity of the measures were confirmed to ensure they accurately represent the constructs and to test the conceptualised relationships.  Article visualizations:
