The present study drew from modern person-environment’s needs-supply fit theory and assessed the extent to which career embeddedness acted as a moderator in the link between individuals’ career agility and their perceptions of the value-oriented psychological contract. A sample of ( N = 293; mean age = 38.58 years) employees in the human resources and financial services industry participated in the study. Moderated regression results demonstrated that career embeddedness moderated the link between high levels of career agility (career navigation and agile learning) and positive perceptions of value-oriented obligated employee attitudinal inputs, including organisational obligated outcomes of job characteristics, career development opportunities, relationships, and rewards. The findings of the study inform career development support practices for the career agile employee in organisations who invest in the value-oriented psychological contract.
