Quantitative career growth denoted the growth rate of job feature such as remuneration and promotion, and qualitative career growth denoted the value of the job changes in current organization. This study examined the two-dimension construct of career growth by collecting 1106 questionnaires in Chinese military institutions. The results supported the two-dimension model of career growth.
