Objectives This study aims to clarify the concept and components of career resilience through a comprehensive review of various domestic and international literature related to career resilience, and to suggest directions for scale development based on these findings. Methods For this purpose, an integrated literature review methodology was employed to analyze a total of 50 publications, consisting of 26 domestic and 24 international articles. Results First, career resilience research has been consistently studied abroad since London's study in 1983, while in Korea, research has been increasing since 2012. Second, the concept of career resilience is premised on career-related difficulties and is treated as a concept that includes specific coping strategies for adapting to, dealing with, overcoming, and surviving career-related changes. Third, the components of career resilience were categorized into personal, occupational, and social factors. Fourth, career resilience scales have been developed through various studies both domestically and internationally. While domestic literature mainly focused on scales for elementary school students, adolescents, and college students, international literature featured more scales for adults, with diverse characteristics within adult populations. Conclusions Based on these results, the study's conclusions, significance, limitations, and suggestions for future research were presented.
