Abstract: Abstract Background and Aim: The need to manage personnel in today’s highly competitive and volatile workplace has made retention research relevant and vital. A fundamental topic in management research is what dynamic and adaptive behaviours of managers motivate employees to stay with their company. In this study, we proposed that job embeddedness may actually strengthen employees’ career success. Therefore, this study argued that the relationship between job embeddedness and career success in service organizations. Materials and Methods: Three different scales were combined in order to collect data from the sample of 469 employees of Turkish service organizations. The results were analysed using moderated structural equation modelling (path analysis) with the Amos program. Findings: The findings indicated that job embeddedness was positively and significantly related to career success. Conclusion: The findings broaden the management field by providing new perspectives into how workers’ job embeddedness impacts career success. The study contributed to the existing research to point out the importance of workers’ career success and development needs in the management field and practice. Improving work environments and policies to meet workers’ developing career success needs and job embeddedness may be critical to sustaining employee–organization communication and encouraging them. Research limitations/implications: The findings of the research contribute to a better understanding of the relationship between employee job embeddedness and career success. The limitation lies in the data from service organizations in Turkey.
