“…The fact that individuals selected more than one anchor is consistent with the conclusions postulated by various researchers that questioned the singularity of CA presented by Schein (FELDMAN, BOLINO, 1996;FELDMAN, BOLINO, 2000;DANZIGER, VALENCY, 2006;CHAPMAN, 2009;MARSHALL, BONNER, 2003).…”

This study explores the relationship between job satisfaction and alignment between the individual´s current occupation and his/her talents, needs and values, namely as career anchors. A quantitative survey using Schein e Van Maanen´s Career Anchor model (2013) and Siqueira´s Job Satisfaction survey (2008) was performed for a non-probabilistic sample students at the Business School of a private University in Rio de Janeiro. The most frequent career anchor found for both genders was Lifestyle, showing a trend towards finding a career that allows some balance between professional and personal life. Finally, we identified that autonomous individuals are more satisfied than those who receive salary, male ones are more satisfied with the job than the female ones, and there is a positive association with years of experience and satisfaction in the job.Keywords: Career anchors; Job satisfaction; Schein´s career anchor model. RESUMONo presente estudo visa-se a analisar a relação entre satisfação no trabalho e o alinhamento do emprego do indivíduo com suas habilidades, necessidade e valores, denominadas âncoras de carreira. Realizou-se uma pesquisa quantitativa definida como survey, baseada no Modelo de Âncoras de Carreira de Schein e Van Maanen (2013) e na Escala de Satisfação do trabalho de Siqueira (2008), para amostra não probabilística de alunos de uma escola de Administração de uma universidade privada de Rio de Janeiro. A âncora que apresentou maior frequência, independente do gênero do entrevistado, foi Estilo de Vida, indicando a tendência em buscar uma carreira que permita equilibrar a vida profissional e a vida pessoal. Por fim, identificou-se que os indivíduos autônomos são mais satisfeitos que os assalariados, os de sexo masculino estão mais satisfeitos no trabalho do que os de sexo feminino, e que existe uma associação positiva entre anos de experiência e satisfação no trabalho.Palavras-chave: Âncora de carreira; Satisfação no trabalho; Modelo de âncoras de carreira de Schein.

“…Schein (1990) agrees with the view that the construct career anchors can be measured by means of a combination of the COI and a structured in-depth interview exercise. Moreover, applying the COI as a measurement of career anchors for research purposes is regarded as an acceptable and reliable practice by researchers in the field (Burke, 1983;Custodio, 2004;Erdoğmus, 2003;Marshall & Bonner, 2003;Ramakrishna & Potosky, 2002).…”

“…These changes are refl ected in the changing defi nitions of work, careers and job structure, all of which mirror widespread downsizing, subsequent losses in job security, highly divergent and diverse career paths and shifts in organisational loyalties (Baruch, 2004;Marshall & Bonner, 2003;Suutari & Taka, 2004). Moreover, the growing concern about employability necessitates that employees take greater agency in their career decisions and development.…”

This study explored the relationship between the psychological career resources and career anchors of a sample of 2 997 working adults at predominantly managerial and supervisory levels in the service industry. The Psychological Career Resources Inventory and the Career Orientations Inventory were applied. Stepwise regression analyses indicated dimensions of psychological career resources as signifi cant predictors of participants' career anchors. The fi ndings add valuable new knowledge that can be used to inform organisational career development support practices as well as career counselling and guidance services concerned with promoting individuals' employability and experiences of intrinsic career success.

Managerial career anchors in a changing business environment

Trainers need to take into account changes in working practicesTraining needs to reflect the current business environment. Managers brought up with today's working practices, and those who started their working lives twenty, or more years ago, have had very different experiences. What is expected of managers has changed over the years, with the decline in manufacturing and shift towards service industries. Even within industries or occupations, however, there have been changes in working practice inspired by 'MacDonaldisation', in the fast food trade, and 'Disneyization', in the leisure and the service industries (Bryman 1999). The whole concept of 'emotional labour', which these working practices require, puts different demands on managers being trained today, compared to their predecessors. This applies to most occupations, whether it be teaching, or food processing. The aim of the present study is to compare career perceptions of younger managers, and older managers.
