Abstract: Many researchers have advocated that managing career is an important aspect to be concentrated for achieving career success. In this direction, this study investigates the roles of human capital and motivation on achieving career success among government employees. Data were collected from 159 employees working in Kingdom of Bahrain and were analyzed with the help of a series of hierarchical regression analysis. It is found that motivational variables, not employee’s human capital, have associations with career exploration activities. Self-exploration has positive association with objective and subjective career success. Interaction effect between number of hours worked and environment exploration was also found significant on number of promotions received by employees.
