A Theory and Research Instruments for Studying U.S. Naval Officer Careers.

摘要

Career patterns are influenced as much by the individual as by the organization. They are often based on ones own definition of career success; his work values, motives and attitudes; his career stage and adult life stage development as they dynamically interrelate; family concerns (including the influence of the spouse); and the various options which are largely dependent on career politics. The author outlines the above theoretical concepts and suggests interview questions and questionnaire items to study these constructs. A bibliography is included. (Author)
