Abstract

This quantitative and descriptive study examines the relationship between perceived organizational support (POS), work engagement, and career success among healthcare employees in Jordan. That data has collected from a sample of 459 respondents using an online questionnaire. The author tested the hypothesized relationships using structural equation modeling analysis via Amos 26 software. The study results have demonstrated that POS positively impacts work engagement and both subjective and objective career success. Moreover, work engagement mediates the relationship between POS and subjective and objective career success. These findings highlight the importance of fostering a supportive organizational culture that enhances employees’ engagement and career success. The study contributes to the body of knowledge on POS, work engagement, and career success in the Arab world and provides implications for HR practices in the healthcare sector.
