Studies have demonstrated that individuals need to invest in a career and
become “career capitalists” acquiring career competencies needed for their career
success. This study aims to increase our understanding of career competencies based
on the three ways of learning and their relationship to an individual’s perceived
performance. This study also tries to determine the relative importance of each
career competency in predicting perceived individual performance. The findings of this
study show that the competencies of knowing why, knowing how, and knowing whom
are all statistically positive significant predictors for perceived individual performance.
Also, the results describe the unique contribution and the relative importance of those
three competencies to an individual’s perceived performance. Conclusions were drawn
and implications and limitations discussed.
