Abstract

This paper identifies the importance of effective career management and need for organizational support for employees’ career management. Effective career management refers to the policies and practices deliberately designed by the organizations in order to enhance the career effectiveness of their employees. We examined empirically the relationship between opinions of employees about strategy that is most important in career and their opinions about effective career management. In research data were gathered and analyzed from 102 employees. Some of the opinions of the employees emphasize that a career strategy is a process of realization of the idea for one’s own career progress. Their opinions point out that effective career management refers to continuous personal and professional upgrade. By understanding what we want in our careers and how this will affect our nonwork activities, we can be in a better position to plan our future.
