Abstract
This study investigates organizational support for career development among young teachers at 15 private higher education institutions in Guangdong Province.

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.
