Abstract
Under the background of exam-oriented education in China, art education has been marginalized, and the career success of junior middle school art teachers is being challenged. The influencing factors have become a topic worthy of exploration. Therefore, this study aims to investigate the influence on career success and career self-development among junior middle school art teachers in Shenzhen, China. This study conducted a questionnaire survey among junior middle school art teachers in Shenzhen, China. The results show that career self-management affects the career success of art teachers. On this basis, this study proposes some strategies to help the group of art teachers achieve higher career success by improving their career self-management levels.
