Abstract

Purpose: Every human being aspires to find a job that gives him, more than a salary, a sense of self-fulfilment. Due to the constant changes in society, professionals began to seek to build their own career in order to achieve success. This article aims to study the levels of perceived success in the career of the Portuguese population in times of pandemic COVID-19. Design/methodology/approach: A questionnaire survey was used, with the sample consisting of 234 Portuguese individuals who were in the work context. Findings: The results demonstrate that the career success perception scale is composed of two dimensions: Perception of Success Objective and Perception of Subjective Success. Originality: From what we were able to ascertain from the in-depth research we carried out, there are no studies in Portugal that assess the perception of career success. Also, from our research to the international databases, we have not been able to find studies worldwide that analyse the perception of career success in a pandemic context, configuring it as a gap that this study intends to bridge, being, thus, an original study. Research implications: It is hoped that this study will contribute to the increase of scientific knowledge in the area of Human Resource Management so that organisations take into account the expectations of individuals and their motivations.
