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 organisation''s planning should have an integration point to develop appropriate career paths and developmental strategies. Job satisfaction is the inward fulfilment that comes from work experience and acts as motivation for work. The fulfilment 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 fulfilment, joy, and value in an organisation. The end result of successful career development and job satisfaction practices will result in both individuals and organisations to better adapt and successfully navigate a competitive business and organisational climate while equipping them to face a promising future.
