Abstract

This study aims to analyze the direct and indirect effects of Diversity and Inclusion, Organizational Agility, and Job Burnout on Career Development through Psychological Safety as a mediating variable. The research was conducted at PT. Kawasan Industri Makassar (PT. KIMA), a strategic industrial hub in Eastern Indonesia, known for its diverse workforce and dynamic operational environment. A quantitative approach was employed, using a survey method with a structured questionnaire distributed to 250 employees. Data were analyzed using Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) with SmartPLS software. The results revealed that Diversity and Inclusion and Organizational Agility positively and significantly influence both Psychological Safety and Career Development. Conversely, Job Burnout negatively and significantly affects these variables. Psychological Safety plays a pivotal mediating role, enhancing the positive effects of Diversity and Inclusion and Organizational Agility on Career Development while mitigating the adverse impact of Job Burnout. The model demonstrated a good fit, indicating its robustness in explaining the relationships among the variables. This research contributes to the literature on human resource management by highlighting the critical role of Psychological Safety in fostering Career Development in diverse and dynamic organizational contexts.
