Research has been conducted on academicians assigned at foundation universities located in the cities of Ankara and Mersin which are located in Turkey. The data of the research has been collected with scales of perceived organizational support, intention to remain and subjective career success. In the study, first of all the assumptions to be provided regarding the data used in the analyzes made were checked and the test of the model that was subsequently established was made with the partial least squares-structural equation model. These analyzes were carried out with R programming language and SmartPLS package program. At the end of the study, it has been determined that there is a meaningful relationship in the same direction between organizational support, intention to remain and subjective career success variables, and subjective career success does not have an mediating role in the relationship between perceived organizational support and intention to remain at work.
