Subjective career success continues to be a critical topic in careers scholarship due to ever changing organizational and societal contexts that make reliance upon external definitions of success untenable or undesirable. While various measures of subjective career success have been developed, there is no measure that is representative of multiple nations. In this study, we develop and validate a new subjective career success scale, which is unique from currently available measures in that it was developed and validated across a broad representation of national cultures. We validated the scale across four phases and several studies cumulatively involving 18,471 individual respondents from 30 countries based upon the GLOBE and Schwartz cultural clusters. This scale allows for addressing career success differences both within and across cultures. It is also easily applicable in everyday practice for companies operating in multi-country contexts. We explore theoretical and practical implications.

由于不断变化的组织和社会环境使得对成功的外部定义的依赖站不住脚或不可取，主观职业成功仍然是职业奖学金中的一个关键主题。虽然已经制定了主观职业成功的各种衡量标准，但没有一种衡量标准可以代表多个国家。在这项研究中，我们开发并验证了一个新的主观职业成功量表，它与当前可用的衡量标准不同，因为它是在广泛的民族文化代表中开发和验证的。我们根据 GLOBE 和 Schwartz 文化集群，在四个阶段和多项研究中验证了该量表，这些研究累计涉及来自 30 个国家/地区的 18,471 名个人受访者。这个量表可以解决文化内部和跨文化的职业成功差异。它也很容易适用于在多国环境中运营的公司的日常实践。我们探索理论和实践意义。
