We draw on the conservation of resources theory to examine how upward and horizontal career transitions contribute to both objective and subjective career success among a longitudinal sample, covering the first 10 to 15 years of their career. Further, we adopt socioemotional-selective theory to investigate how upward and horizontal career transitions contribute differently to career success from a lifespan perspective. Latent growth curve analysis revealed that increases in upward and horizontal career transitions over time were positively related to increases in objective career success and positively related to subjective career success. As expected, the positive effect of horizontal transitions on objective career success was stronger for younger individuals. Contrary to our expectations, upward transitions had a stronger effect on the objective career success of older individuals. We found no age effects on subjective career success. This study helps to further our understanding of how different types of career movements contribute to career success, and the types of transitions that are important for individuals of different ages.

我们利用资源保护理论来研究向上和横向的职业转型如何在纵向样本中促进客观和主观的职业成功，涵盖他们职业生涯的前 10 到 15 年。此外，我们采用社会情感选择理论，从生命周期的角度研究向上和横向职业转型对职业成功的贡献有何不同。潜在增长曲线分析显示，随着时间的推移，向上和横向职业转变的增加与客观职业成功的增加呈正相关，并与主观职业成功呈正相关。正如预期的那样，横向过渡对客观职业成功的积极影响对年轻人来说更强。与我们的预期相反，向上过渡对老年人的客观职业成功影响更大。我们发现年龄对主观职业成功没有影响。这项研究有助于进一步了解不同类型的职业变动如何促进职业成功，以及对不同年龄的人来说重要的转变类型。
