ABSTRACT
Teachers need career goals, understanding, and opportunities to achieve their subjective career success. However, as problems may hinder their career path, they need to have a strong, resilient personality to address and overcome stressors in their career and eventually evaluate their career and achieve their subjective career success. This paper investigates the effect of hardiness on Indonesian teachers’ subjective career success. This study applied a quantitative method. Three hundred twenty Indonesian teachers were recruited as participants using accidental sampling. The data were analyzed using a simple regression test. The result shows that hardiness affects Indonesian teachers’ subjective career well-being (p<0.05). To be more specific, hardiness was found to significantly affects dimensions of subjective career success, including recognition, meaningful work, influence, authenticity, personal life, growth and development, and satisfaction, but not the quality of work.
