This study examined restaurant employees' career commitment toward the food service profession. It confirmed the three-factor structure proposed by Leung (1996): career input, career identity, and career advancement. The results showed that these three factors contribute to promotion intention on different levels, and thereafter, employees develop different employment patterns. Among the three factors, career advancement has greatest impact on promotion intention. Employees whom score differently on three factors develop different employment behavior.
