Book Description
The purpose of this study was to explore the nature and correlates of career change among MBA alumni. In order to accomplish this broad purpose five research questions were addressed. (1) To what extent do MBA alumni experience specific career transitions? (2) For those who experienced specific career transitions, what impact did those transitions have on their careers? (3) To what extent did MBA Alumni experience career turbulence? (4) To what extent did MBA alumni report an orientation toward self-directedness in regard to career management? (5) To what extent did the personal characteristics, contextual factors and an orientation toward self-directedness predict the career turbulence MBA alumni experienced? The study proposed Career Turbulence, a conceptual model that takes into consideration the vibrant and interesting career experiences that suggest a new normal in the American managerial career. A questionnaire was developed that included 14 items to measure the frequency of specific career transitions, 14 items to measure the impact of those transitions on the respondents' careers, nine items to measure career self-directedness, and ten items to collect demographic information. The survey was completed by 206 MBA alumni. The following primary findings resulted from this study: 1. Taking on additional responsibilities with no change in salary or title has become a common practice in the modern managerial career, and is rated as the highest producer of career turbulence. 2. Overall, career transitions were considered positive occurrences, even when the transitions themselves were rated less than positive. 3. Career turbulence is more a product of the number of transitions experienced than the self-reported impact of those transitions. 4. MBA alumni in this study reported a high degree of self-directedness in their career management behavior and attitudes.

Career Development and Systems Theory
Author: Wendy PattonPublisher: Sense Publishers
ISBN: 9077874135
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 409
Book Description
The Systems Theory Framework was developed to produce a metatheoretical framework through which the contribution of all theories to our understanding of career behaviour could be recognised. In addition it emphasises the individual as the site for the integration of theory and practice. Its utility has become more broadly acknowledged through its application to a range of cultural groups and settings, qualitative assessment processes, career counselling, and multicultural career counselling. For these reasons, the STF is a very valuable addition to the field of career theory. In viewing the field of career theory as a system, open to changes and developments from within itself and through constantly interrelating with other systems, the STF and this book are adding to the pattern of knowledge and relationships within the career field. The contents of this book will be integrated within the field as representative of a shift in understanding existing relationships within and between theories. In the same way, each reader wilt integrate the contents of the book within their existing views about the current state of career theory and within their current theory-practice relationship.
