Abstract

It is essential to investigate the effect of the career competence of financial advisor trainees on career satisfaction and to examine the regulatory role of professional burnout levels of professional members who are at the beginning of their careers in this regard. In line with this importance, this study aims to examine the effect of career competence of financial advisor trainees on career satisfaction and the moderating role of professional burnout in this relationship. In this context, the survey form was delivered to the financial advisor trainees actively working in Turkey based on a convenience sampling method, and research data were obtained from 202 financial advisor trainees through a questionnaire. The SPSS 21 package program was used for correlation and regression analyses in the data analysis. In addition, the PROCESS macro (v4.2) extension was used for moderating effect analysis. The findings revealed that career competence positively and significantly affects career satisfaction. In addition, career self-efficacy, insight, and career planning, which are the sub-dimensions of career competence, were also found to significantly predict career satisfaction. However, occupational burnout did not have a moderating effect on this relationship. The results suggest that increasing individuals’ career competence can strengthen career satisfaction.

Özet

Mali müşavir adaylarının kariyer yetkinliğinin kariyer memnuniyeti üzerine etkisinin araştırılması ve kariyerlerinin başında olan meslek mensuplarının mesleki tükenmişlik düzeylerinin de bu etkide düzenleyicilik rolünün incelenmesi oldukça önemlidir. Bu doğrultuda araştırmanın amacı mali müşavir adaylarının kariyer yetkinliğinin kariyer memnuniyeti üzerindeki etkisini ve bu ilişkide mesleki tükenmişliğin düzenleyici rolünü incelemektir. Bu kapsamda Türkiye’de aktif olarak çalışan mali müşavir adaylarına kolayda örnekleme yöntemi esas alınarak anket formu ulaştırılmış ve 202 mali müşavir adayından anket yoluyla veri elde edilmiştir. Verilerin analizinde korelasyon ve regresyon analizleri için SPSS 21 paket programından yararlanılmıştır. Ayrıca düzenleyici etki analizi için ise PROCESS Macro (v4.2) uzantısından yararlanılmıştır. Bulgular, kariyer yetkinliğinin kariyer memnuniyeti üzerinde pozitif ve anlamlı bir etkisi olduğunu ortaya koymuştur. Ayrıca kariyer yetkinliğinin alt boyutları olan kariyer öz-yetkinliği, kariyer içgörüsü ve kariyer planlamasının da kariyer memnuniyetini anlamlı şekilde yordadığı belirlenmiştir. Ancak mesleki tükenmişliğin bu ilişki üzerinde düzenleyici bir etkisi bulunamamıştır. Sonuçlar, bireylerin kariyer yetkinliğinin artırılmasının, kariyer memnuniyetini güçlendirebileceğini göstermektedir.
