Career resilience (CR) is an increasingly important, but under-researched aspect of modern
careers. The purpose of this paper is to examine the mediating effect of CR on the relationships
between personality factors, career self-evaluations and modern career orientation and the outcome of
career satisfaction (CS). The authors hypothesized that CR would be positively associated with the
“big-5” personality factors, career self-evaluations (self-efficacy and external locus of control) and
modern career orientations (protean and boundaryless orientations) and that CR would mediate those
variables’ relationships with CS.
