| dc.description.abstract | In a progressively dynamic and competitive work environment, soft skills emerge as crucial elements for professional success. This investigation delved into the significance of these competencies in career development, employing performance appraisal as a mediating mechanism. The sample comprised 262 employed individuals. The study was operationalized through a quantitative methodology. Data were collected using the Short Skills Inventory, the Career Growth Scale, and the Performance Management Scale. The results demonstrated that the more developed the soft skills, the greater the likelihood of career progression for employees. Furthermore, it was found that performance appraisal significantly influences the professional trajectory of employees. The data also revealed that, by mediating the relationship between cross-functional skills and career advancement, performance appraisal enables the guidance and substantiation of strategic decisions within the organization. | pt_PT |
