Abstract: The aim of this study is to examine the effects of self-concept and educational success on career adaptability among nurses in the Ukraine. This study aimed to help human resource management attract and implement resources effectively, especially in healthcare systems. We distributed 119 questionnaires randomly and asked nurses to answer questions related to career adaptability, self-concept, and educational success. First, we conduct a confirmatory factor analysis on the career adaptability aspects (Concern, Curiosity, Control, and Confidence) and self-concept to analyze the reliability and validity of the constructs. The second phase, using the regression method, showed that educational success has a significant effect only on concern. However, self-concepts significantly affect concern (.46), control (.41), Curiosity (.47), and confidence (.45). Career adaptability has been significantly affected by self-concept (.50). Managers should consider self-concept as a significant predictive factor of career adaptability in the future, which cannot be predicted by educational success. Additionally, the results revealed that although educational success did not significantly predict all aspects of career adaptability, it had a significant relationship with the concern aspect.
