Summary:Purpose – The purpose of this study is to examine the mediating role of career adaptability (CA) in the relationship between supervisor support (SS) and career satisfaction (CS). Design/methodology/approach – Data were collected from 193 full-time employees working in private health-care institutions in Ankara, Turkey. The participants were asked to respond to a self-reported survey. Structural equation modeling was used to examine the hypothesized relationships between the research variables. Findings – The results indicated that SS has a significant and positive effect on CS. It further reveals that CA mediates the effect of SS on CS. Research limitations/implications – As this study had a cross-sectional research design, causality could not be established between study variables. Practical implications – CA ought to be considered by the managers and it ought to be advanced as it provides the employees fundamental instruments to deal with their career advancement efficiently. Originality/value – The present study adds to the existing literature by providing additional evidence for the relationship among SS, CA and CS by examining a sample of health-care professionals.
