"This book examines and expands understanding and career development competencies for diverse purposes and audiences as well as highlights key areas to consider to enhance job satisfaction within organizations. This book is suitable for academics, researchers, faculty, doctoral and graduate students, policy makers, business managers, and practitioners from organizations and agencies. The foundational knowledge of this book will serve as a reference point for organizational leaders, business managers, and practitioners, and will also prompt future academic research. Career development and job satisfaction are important issues for organizations. It is the evolutional process an individual experiences to advance their occupational status, deciding to align personal needs and wants to that of their career advancement opportunities. Career development revolves around work-related experiences and-in some cases-the rise above ranks into the occupational roles occupied by individuals in their workplace. As such, career development also requires planning. An individual's career planning and the organization's planning should have an integration point to develop appropriate career paths and developmental strategies. Job satisfaction is the inward fulfillment that comes from work experience and acts as motivation for work. The fulfillment here comes with the attainment of specific goals and objectives that are personal to an employee. Fundamentally, job satisfaction is the combination of psychological, physiological, and environmental factors that can cause an employee to experience the effects of fulfillment, joy, and value in an organization. The end result of successful career development and job satisfaction practices will result in both individuals and organizations to better adapt and successfully navigate a competitive business and organizational climate while equipping them to face a promising future"--
