Other research shows a positive relation between a lifelong learning mindset, where someone is focused on learning opportunities, and career success. The current study investigated the relation between a growth mindset and subjective and objective career success. This would be useful for career success interventions. In addition, we expected that subjective and objective career success would be related. 96 graduates from the Master of Psychology of Leiden University filled in a survey. The results showed no relation between a growth mindset and subjective and objective career success. However, we found a small positive relationship between subjective and objective career success. Future research could investigate the relation between a growth mindset and career success, by taking career stages, learning from error, and the controllability belief into account.Show less
