Recognizing the importance of career orientation in practice and the lack of its related studies, this study investigates the relationship between career orientation and organizational commitment. We collected data from 331 employees in 11 domestic manufacturing firms to test hypothesis. A moderating effect of organizational support on these relationships were also examined. We classified career orientation in terms of both boundaryless career and traditional career. The results show us the followings. First, whereas traditional career orientation is positively related to the organizational commitment, boundaryless career orientation has negative influence on organizational commitment. Second, organizational support moderates positively the relationship between boundaryless career orientation and organizational commitment, but not the case for the relationship between traditional career orientation and organizational commitment. This study advances organizational commitment research considering career orientation, suggesting that managers can improve organizational performance in terms of both taking a proper career orientation system and organizational support. Theoretical and practical implications are discussed along with some suggestions for future research.

본 연구는 무경계경력지향성(boundaryless career orientation)과 전통적 경력지향성(traditional career orientation)이 종업원의 태도(조직몰입)에 미치는 영향에 대해 국내 11개 제조기업의 종업원을 대상으로 실증분석 하였다. 또한 이들 관계에 대한 조직지원의 조절효과를 검정하였다. 실증분석결과, 전통적 경력지향성을 가진 종업원들은 조직몰입에 정(+)의 관계를 가지고, 무경계경력지향성을 가진 종업원은 조직몰입에 부(-)의 관계를 가지는 것으로 나타났다. 한편, 조직지원은 무경계경력지향성과 조직몰입간의 관계는 긍정적으로 조절함을 확인하였으나, 전통적 경력지향성과 조직몰입간의 관계에서는 조절효과가 확인되지 않았다. 이러한 결과를 바탕으로 이론적, 실무적 시사점과 향후 연구방향을 제시하였다.
