摘要：The objective of this study was to determine the relationship between the psychological career resources (as measured by the Psychological Career Resources Inventory) and the subjective work experiences of a sample of working adults (as measured by a four item global work experiences scale). The research also aimed to explore broad trends regarding how the participants differed on these variables in terms of their socio-demographic characteristics (marital status, educational level, age, gender and race). A sample of 2 997 working adults, registered as students at a South African higher distance education institution, participated in this study. Stepwise regression analyses indicated dimensions of psychological career resources as significant predictors of the four subjective work experiences: life satisfaction, job / career satisfaction, happiness and perceptions of work as a valuable activity. The results further indicated significant differences between participants with regard to their socio-demographic characteristics and their psychological career resources and subjective work experiences. Considering that the employment equity context in South Africa contributes to a more diversified workforce, the findings add valuable new knowledge that can be used to inform organisational career development practices concerned with promoting experiences of psychological career success.
