Summary/Abstract: The article presents a networking phenomenon as an employees’ attribute. The theoretical and empirical researches were conducted to find an answer of general question: how do networking behaviors correlate with career development? The networking behavior questionnaire was used, based on M. Forret and T. Dougherty scale. Career development was showed as the phenomenon of past and future perspectives, which were also tested by individual social capital in terms of generating resources supporting finding a job. Questionnaire survey was conducted among 373 respondents in 2015, in Poland. Basically, the networking behaviors are at a low level of 2.62 on the scale of 1–6. Networking behaviors correlate significantly, but moderately with career satisfaction measure rs = 0,370 and career perspectives rs = 0,306. Getting a support in finding job, as the part of individual social capital, significantly related to career satisfaction and its perspectives, but the correlations between them are weak.
