Individual career planning, personal factors and job satisfaction: An application on women policemen

Organisations need to have qualified employees in order to gain competitive advantage. Qualified employees are individuals who are well aware of their personal characteristics and who determine what the most appropriate job is and make career planning accordingly. The job satisfaction of the individuals who do the most appropriate job and career planning is also high. Therefore, there is a relationship between personality traits, career planning and job satisfaction.
