Abstract

This study investigates organizational support for career development among young teachers at 15 private higher education institutions in Guangdong Province. The findings reveal multiple challenges including insufficient training resources, inadequate emphasis on research initiatives, imperfect professional title evaluation procedures, limited salary and welfare benefits, and underdeveloped organizational culture. Recommendations include adopting teacher-centered management philosophies, optimizing faculty management mechanisms, and fostering a supportive organizational environment to enhance institutional support for young teachers' career growth.
