Abstract

The objective of the research is to establish the relationship between job performance and career plans in the service sector of the Cotopaxi province of Ecuador, with the purpose of contributing to organizational improvement and growth. The methodology used in this study was the quantitative approach, the survey was addressed to a total of 98 workers from various microenterprises in the service business sector. The evaluation of the career plan dimension reveals diversity in the employees' perceptions. Kendall's correlation coefficient of 0.529 suggests a moderate positive relationship between job performance and career plan. This finding underscores the importance of aligning career goals with job responsibilities, although it indicates the existence of additional factors that influence performance and professional development, demanding further research.
