The purpose of this study was to investigate the four types of career effectiveness. In this study, career effectiveness means a general degree of success in a career as seen by one's self and others (career success). D.T.Hall (2002) presented a model of career effectiveness that consists of four quadrants. The model has two foci, work and self, and depicts how they develop over the long-term and short term. A questionnaire consisting of 98 items was administered to 1247 working people that included managers, teachers, government officials, individuals in a SOHO, the self-employed, and professionals. The results revealed that "career adaptability" induces a range of role behavior and that this role behavior leads to "career results." Moreover, results revealed that the pattern by which the three subdimensions (concern, planning, and pliability) of "career adaptability" contribute to "career results" changes with subdimensions, and results demonstrated the particular significance of these subdimensions.
