<![CDATA[Career satisfaction has become an important construct in the study of modern organizational behavior because it reflects an individual's subjective evaluation of career achievements and development throughout their work journey. Changes in job structures, increasingly dynamic career mobility, and the development of protean and boundaryless career concepts encourage the need for a more comprehensive understanding of the determinants and consequences of career satisfaction. This article presents a systematic literature review of the development of career satisfaction research by searching scientific publications in various major academic databases from 2020 to 2026. The literature analysis shows that career satisfaction is influenced by individual factors, such as core self-evaluations, career adaptability, and psychological capital; organizational factors, such as organizational support, relationships with superiors, and career development opportunities; and contextual factors, such as work-life balance. Career satisfaction also has significant implications for organizational commitment, work engagement, psychological well-being, and individual performance and innovation. These findings strengthen the position of career satisfaction as an important psychological mechanism linking work experiences to long-term career success in the modern work environment.]]>
