Career Management

Aile; bireysel ve toplumsal refah için vazgeçilmez olduğundan, her dönem bilim insanlarının dikkatini çeken bir konu olmuştur. Ancak sosyal ilişkilerin gerçekleşmesinin yanında, ailede ekonomik işlevlerin yerine getirilmesi, ailenin teknolojik gelişme, kültürel değişim gibi pek çok çevresel faktörden etkilenmesi, aile dinamiklerinin anlaşılmasında çocuk gelişimi, iletişim, tüketici davranışları, yönetim/organizasyon ve iktisat gibi farklı bilim dallarından yararlanılmasını ve konunun disiplinlerarası bakış açısıyla ele alınmasını gerektirmektedir. Bu kitapta; ailede cinsiyet eşitsizliği, çalışan olarak ebeveynler, görünmeyen değer olarak kadın emeği, ebeveynliğin girişimciliğe etkisi, çocuk tüketiciler, sosyal medya ve yapay zeka gibi teknolojilerin ailede kullanımı, çocukların sanatsal becerileri ve okuma alışkanlıkları, çocuklarda muhasebe öğrenimi ve dijital şiddet konuları ele alınmaktadır.

Intent to stay is conscious and deliberate desire of individual to continue in their employment. It is a cognitive process resulting from work-related attitudes, subjective norms and behavioral control perceived by individual. Already intention to leave is conscious and deliberate desire of individual to quit organization voluntarily in a near future. This literature review aims to identify research methods used to investigate intention to stay and leave public organizations published in Web of Science and Scopus databases by 2016. Fifteen papers met inclusion criteria, which fourteen address intention to leave and one treats intention to stay in public sector organizations. The results reveal a modest number of publications on behavioral intentions in public context. There is no clarity of constructs definition studied. Fifteen studies use quantitative approach for investigation of intentions to stay and/or leave, with prevalence of statistical regression analysis and scarce detail of research methods used. Only five papers validated their instruments. None of studies relates to intention to leave or to stay with knowledge management in public organizations. Based on these results the paper presents a research agenda to broaden understanding of behavioral intentions of public organizations professionals and their relation with knowledge management of these people.

This paper is the third in a series analyzing the decade-long Career Self-Management (CSM) Project on Coursera. We focus on learner experience in the advanced courses-Course 3 (Strategic Self-Marketing) and Course 4 (CSM Advanced Certification)-using survey data from 598 learners. Our analysis reveals distinct demographic profiles, with Course 3 attracting younger learners and the Course 4 capstone appealing to an older cohort. We observe a progressive rise in learner satisfaction with course competencies across the four-course sequence, culminating in the highest ratings for the project-based Course 4. However, unlike other courses in the specialization, Course 3's learner satisfaction dipped during the pandemic and did not recover post-COVID, suggesting it may benefit from revision. Overall, the findings indicate that the specialization effectively met its learning objectives, and we summarize student suggestions for further improvement.

Pengembangan karir Pertemuan 6 PEMBINAAN KARIR DALAM KONTEKS PENDIDIKAN Pendahuluan Pembinaan karir merupakan salah satu aspek penting dalam dunia pendidikan dan dunia kerja. Melalui pembinaan yang tepat, peserta didik maupun individu dapat mengenali potensi dirinya, mengembangkan keterampilan, serta merencanakan masa depan karir yang sesuai. Selain itu, pembinaan karir tidak hanya bergantung pada individu, tetapi juga membutuhkan dukungan sumber daya pembinaan yang memadai, serta regulasi hukum dan kerangka kurikulum sekolah yang jelas sebagai dasar pelaksanaannya.

Dalam konteks pembangunan sumber daya manusia (SDM) yang unggul dan berkelanjutan, pemerintah Indonesia melalui berbagai kebijakan pendidikan dan pelatihan telah menempatkan pembinaan sebagai instrumen strategis untuk meningkatkan kualitas tenaga pendidik, aparatur sipil negara (ASN), maupun tenaga profesional di berbagai sektor. Dua pilar utama pembinaan tersebut adalah:

Pengembangan karir merupakan proses yang berkelanjutan dan dinamis dalam kehidupan seseorang, melibatkan pengembangan keterampilan, pengetahuan, serta sikap yang berhubungan dengan pekerjaan dan profesi. Salah satu aspek penting dalam pengembangan karir yang sering kurang mendapat perhatian adalah kematangan emosi atau kecerdasan emosi. Kematangan emosi ini berperan besar dalam mencapai kesuksesan dan kepuasan dalam karir. Kecerdasan emosi (emotional intelligence) merupakan kemampuan untuk mengenali, memahami, mengelola, dan memanfaatkan emosi secara efektif dalam diri sendiri maupun orang lain. Dalam dunia kerja yang kompetitif dan penuh tekanan, kemampuan ini sangat menentukan keberhasilan seseorang dalam mengembangkan karir.

Dalam konteks pengembangan karir, kecerdasan emosional (emotional intelligence/EI) telah menjadi faktor penentu yang tidak dapat diabaikan. Kematangan emosi yang mencakup kemampuan mengenali, memahami, mengelola, dan mengekspresikan emosi secara sehat berperan krusial dalam membangun relasi interpersonal, mengambil keputusan strategis, serta menghadapi tekanan kerja.

The ongoing information and communication technology revolutions have substantially empowered the people by making them information rich. The enormous volume of information-the main driver of the global information economy today-is at the disposal of anybody having the means and the willingness to acquire. This paper reveals that the new media revolutions have also made violation of citizen's right to privacy more visible. Despite wider recognition of the menace, we do not have credible deterrent mechanism and legal or constitutional remedy against intrusion in the privacy of citizens either by the governments, private individual level, maintaining credible safeguards are equally difficult. The media justify its invasion in the citizen's privacy by citing public interest in its reporting. The government claim immunity for its actions in national interest especially in controlling economic crime, terrorist activities, and corruption. But it is disturbing to see cases of privacy violations-often with full knowledge of the authorities-for reasons which are outside the domain of public or national interest. While being under the protective umbrella of constitutional and legal freedom, the media cannot rightfully justify its invasions in individual privacy if such acts are driven by considerations of personal interest rather than national interest. It must honour the safeguards to individual privacy while performing its sacred duty, failing which external checks may be enforced, which may not be to the media's liking.

La sfida di navigare scelte cruciali nell'attuale società in rapida evoluzione è evidente, specialmente per i giovani. Dati empirici rivelano che in Ticino meno della metà degli studenti segue un cammino educativo lineare, evidenziando l'importanza di supporti efficaci nella definizione del loro percorso. Questo articolo esplora la sinergia tra decisione emotiva e riflessiva, analizzando i sistemi cognitivi coinvolti nei processi di scelta. Sebbene la propensione degli adolescenti sia quella di affidarsi maggiormente ad approcci intuitivi, l'integrazione tra la componenti emozionali e cognitive risulta essenziale per decisioni ponderate. Il rinnovato Piano di studio ticinese, che enfatizza la trasferibilità delle competenze e l'importanza delle componenti socioemotive, può supportare questa necessità. Attraverso un approccio educativo che unisce teoria e prassi, l'articolo evidenzia come un approccio integrato - che considera convenientemente prospettive pedagogiche e psicologiche, alla luce dei più recenti riscontri nell'ambito della letteratura specializzata - possa equipaggiare gli individui con strumenti adeguati ad affrontare scelte consapevoli, combinando conoscenza, esperienza e intuizione, preparandoli quindi per un futuro in armonia con le proprie aspirazioni.

What are the most important factors for the success of a startup? This study aims to shed light on this issue through the statistical analysis of a bibliographical sample of 60 recent articles. Through a detailed study of the selected literature, but from the perspective of business experience, we have identified the comparative relevance of those factors that recent research has highlighted as the main drivers of start-up success. Our analysis allows us to define a core of seven practical business success factors supported by the academic literature (Core-7 SF). This core makes it possible to identify the intersection between success in business practice and academic research. Our Core-7 SF shows that the most important variable to predict the success of a start-up is the Idea, followed by the CEO's Leadership, the Business Model, the Marketing approach, and the Entrepreneurial Team. In addition, we found some differences between the geographic areas of affiliation of the authors, suggesting that cultural characteristics influence the weight given to the various reasons for success.

This monograph presents a theory of the development of occupational aspirations. The first section provides definitions of key constructs and an overview of the theory. The second section reviews evidence showing that all social groups share the same images of occupations. It presents a hypothetical cognitive map of occupations that summarizes those images and the dimensions of people's occupational preferences. The third section describes the progressive and usually permanent circumscription of occupational preferences according to one's developing self-concepts. Pour stages of development of selfconcept and preferences are proposed: orientation to size and power (ages 3-5 years), orientation to sex roles (ages 6-8 years), orientation to social valuation (about ages 9-13 years), and orientation to the internal, unique self (beginning around age 14 years). This development is highly conditioned by both cognitive development and one's social environment (e.g., social class). The fourth section of the monograph discusses people's perceptions of their opportunities for implementing their choices and the priorities they use in reaching a compromise among conflicting goals-a situation many people face. Finally, research and counseling implications are discussed. This monograph presents a theory of choose. For example, Super, Starishevsky, how occupational aspirations develop during detail the prothe preschool through the college years, cess by which people attempt to implement The theory was stimulated by the following their self-concepts at different stages in caobservations: reer development.

Many students enroll in higher education with little exposure to entrepreneurial and career development skills. This gap points out the need to equip undergraduates with professional and entrepreneurial competencies to enhance career readiness in this 21st century. This study aimed to

Over recent decades, the professional workforce and family structures have dramatically changed. For example, the dual-earner family is now the modal American family . Only 17 per cent of families comprise a male breadwinner and a stay-at-home wife (US Department of Labor, 2004). According to the most recent National Survey of the Changing Workforce (NSCW) , the demographic occupational profile of the professional and managerial workforce in the US has also dramatically changed. In 2002 women held 39 per cent of professional and managerial jobs, compared with 24 per cent in 1977. Work hours and demands are rising on the job and there is less time to devote to family or other personal life commitments. Over the 25 years between 1977 and 2002, the total work hours of all dual-earner couples with children under 18 years at home increased by an average of ten hours per week -from 81 to 91 hours . A recent national survey on overwork in America indicates that nearly half (44 per cent) of the US workforce experienced being overworked in their jobs in the past month . Another recent report based on the NSCW survey found that two-thirds (67 per cent) of employed parents believe they do not have enough time with their children . Over half of all employees participating in the NSCW survey said they do not have enough time for their spouses (63 per cent) or themselves (55 per cent). Although these trends are important for all employee groups, professionals are a key labor market group that faces unique challenges in managing work and personal life demands. Many professionals encounter growing organizational pressures to increase workload and work hours

This paper offers a critical analysis of the hermeneutical framework of Asma Barlas, a controversial feminist scholar, in rereading gender-sensitive verses of the Quran. Barlas (2002) argues that the message of the Quran is essentially egalitarian; this egalitarian spirit of the Quran, however, is distorted by manipulative/sexist patriarchal interpretation of Muslim clerics. This, according to her, led to fundamental flaw in the epistemology of Quranic reading as well as position of women in Islam. However, in the process of developing her arguments in castigating patriarchal interpretation, Barlas has seriously manipulated a huge amount of Islamic literature to buttress her claims. I argue that Barlas’ hermeneutics is fundamentally flawed as is based on a female-centric framework in rereading the Quran while disregarding well established principles of tafsir. My argument is never meant to reject revitalization in tafsir per se, rather it call for a critical engagement with the concepts of Quranic text rereading and inspiring more qualified scholars to engage on the task of responding to misconceptions generated by Muslim feminists on the issue while carving a constructive path to progressive/meaningful thoughts in tafsir. The paper concludes that Barlas’s hermeneutical approach in rereading o text is erroneous as it represents an indirect way claiming a ‘definitive reading’ something that goes contrary with the Quranic heritage of ikhtilaf, the possibility of yielding a number of interpretation from a text. Thus, if Barlas condemns traditional exegetes for manipulating the real message of the Quran, her hermeneutical approach is no less distorting.

As a field, organisational communication began because of a confluence of national and global events. These events included military training needs and changing labour force requirements and interests, as well as growing appreciation for how communication enables particular processes and outcomes and how communication constitutes realities locally and globally (see Ashcraft, Kuhn

The objective of the study is to determine whether artificial intelligence (AI) tools, software, and technology can assist management in identifying intangibles such as the employee engagement level and offer hints as to what factors influence it and how management can work to enhance it. A descriptive study was carried out to better understand the research topic. A structured survey questionnaire was employed to collect the data, in which the closed-ended questions used a Likert-type scale. The questionnaire measured AI’s effects on productivity, organisational effectiveness, employee satisfaction, and employee engagement. The survey was published on Google Forms, and a link was provided to the respondents. The data were analysed using the Statistical Package for Social Sciences version 28. Statistically significant results were obtained on the association between AI and the determinants of organisational effectiveness, increased productivity, employee satisfaction, and employee en...

Both parents are college graduates. They are in Grade 10 when they started thinking about their careers with an average ranging from 85 to 89 and having a career choice of the respondents; (2) the environmental factors have “low” level of influence in the career choice of the respondents; (3) there is a “high” level of influence of the personality factors to the career choice of the respondents; and (4) the personality factors “highly” affect the career choice of the respondents.

This paper explores the concept of career management, its components, and its significance for both individuals and organizations. Career management refers to the ongoing process of planning, developing, and advancing one's professional journey with the aim of achieving personal growth, job satisfaction, and long-term success. Key components of career management include self-assessment, goal setting, skill development, networking, career planning, and maintaining work-life balance. The paper also highlights the role of career management in organizational growth, emphasizing how employee engagement, talent development, and succession planning contribute to an organization's overall success.
Furthermore, the paper addresses the limitations of traditional Career Management Systems (CMS), such as lack of personalization, insufficient engagement, and technological glitches, and examines how these factors can impact both employee satisfaction and organizational effectiveness. It discusses the connection between career management and organizational growth, outlining how an effective CMS can drive employee retention, innovation, and alignment with business objectives.
The paper concludes by exploring future trends in career management, such as the integration of AI and data-driven tools, the emphasis on continuous learning, the adaptation to hybrid work models, and the focus on diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI). As the workforce evolves, career management will increasingly become more personalized and responsive to changing employee needs and organizational demands. Ultimately, career management is crucial for fostering a motivated, skilled workforce, contributing to organizational stability and growth, and ensuring long-term career success for individuals.

L'agire riflessivo consente di analizzare pensieri, sentimenti e comportamenti, propri e altrui, permettendo di comprendere meglio motivazioni, punti di vista e relazioni. Il presente contributo, inserito in un progetto di ricerca più ampio, intende sottolineare l'importanza della riflessività e dell'uso di specifiche tecnologie a supporto della pratica riflessiva in ambito formativo. Al fine di sviluppare tali processi, è stata proposta e realizzata una attività didattica, della durata di dieci settimane, supportata dal portfolio digitale e che ha visto coinvolti 70 studenti. Al termine del percorso formativo, quindi, è stato condotto un focus group allo scopo di individuare analizzare opinioni e consapevolezze dei partecipanti. La relativa trascrizione dell'intervista è stata poi analizzata attraverso la metodologia dell'analisi tematica, agevolata dall'impiego di uno specifico software, dalla quale è emerso che l'impiego di strumenti come l'e-portfolio stimola efficacemente la comprensione critica e analitica dei contenuti, con una conseguente crescita dell'autoconsapevolezza. In aggiunta, si delinea con forza la necessità percepita da studenti e studentesse di costruire adeguati spazi e tempi da dedicare alla riflessione, specialmente nel contesto accademico di formazione, nel quale la velocità e la sovrabbondanza di informazioni da assimilare sono spesso la norma.

Workplace well-being has received considerable attention over the past decade. Relative to the positive relationship between affective well-being and in-role performance, the relationship between affective well-being and extra-role performance has received little empirical attention. The purpose of this study was to examine the relationships among affective well-being, work engagement, collectivist orientation, and organizational citizenship behavior. Specifically, we tested this model with a sample of 264 employees from a telecom company in China. We found that: (1) affective well-being was the positive predictor of organizational citizenship behavior (B = 0.482, p < 0.001); (2) work engagement mediated the relationship between employee affective well-being and organizational citizenship behavior (indirect effect = 0.330, p < 0.001); and (3) collectivist orientation moderated the relationship between affective well-being and work engagement (B = 0.113, p < 0.01) and affect...

In our introduction to this special issue on the gig economy, we provide some context to how and why this phenomenon should be studied, with a particular emphasis on Human Resource Management. We then describe the four articles that comprise the special issue, and we note some common themes. Our introduction concludes with some suggestions for future research on the gig economy. Work and Human Resources (HR) are experiencing a period of rapid change. As digital and social technologies advance, organizational processes and the nature and meaning of work continue to evolve, thereby rendering work increasingly granular, modular, and decontextualized (

This article reviews a few definitions of OD and identifies eight characters that are necessary to call an activity or experience as an OD activity or experience. The article then goes on to examine ten case studies (of research, consulting and OD) of what appears like an OD activity in which the author was involved as one of the facilitators for whole system or subsystem and examines each on of them for their appropriateness to be called as OD interventions. The author then goes on to derive some lessons from these experiences. The article outlines also some advantages of using traditional OD approach in various HRD interventions and offers some suggestions for making specific HRD interventions like competency mapping, 360Degree Feedback based leadership Development and Assessment and Development Centers as OD activities. The paper concludes that using an OD approach enriches HRD and yields a good ROI on HRD interventions.

SummaryDespite the commonly held belief that a protean career orientation (PCO) enables employees to achieve more balance in their lives, little is known about the relationship between PCO and work–life balance. Using two waves of data collection separated by 2.5 years, this study examined the relationship between PCO and work–life balance among a sample of 367 college‐educated employees in the United States. Analysis was conducted to empirically distinguish PCO from conceptually related constructs, and structural equation modeling was used to examine the process that explains the linkage between PCO and balance. We found that PCO was positively related to work–life balance. We also found support for the role of several resources (social capital, psychological capital, and perceived employability) that explain the relationship between PCO and balance. In particular, PCO was associated with extensive career planning activities that were related to the accumulation of three forms of c...

Business education curriculum was designed to prepare students for entry in advancement of jobs within business and to prepare them to handle their own business affairs and to function intelligently as consumers and citizens in a business economy. However, education offered at tertiary institutions especially business education programmes seem not to prepare graduates of business education to meet real life situations as tertiary institutions curriculum structure cannot be said to have attained the expected level of standard and quality. This paper therefore focused on the need for sustainable business education curriculum in Nigeria as a panacea for the post oil boom economy. The paper looked at the present business education programmes and its curriculum objectives. Attention was given to some key concept such as sustainable business education curriculum, prerequisite for sustainable education curriculum, sustainable business education curriculum for post oil boom economy, and bridging the sustainable curriculum gap in business education. The paper concluded that the need for sustainable curriculum in the post oil boom economy is imperative because of the experiences of the economy recession and the need for holistic industrial development of the economy. Finally, the paper recommended among others the re-assessment, re-evaluation and redesigning of the business education curriculum by educational institutions to meet its practical functionality in the Nigeria economy so as to reflect the 21 st century sustainability skills and culture for gainful and self-sustainable employment.

This systematic review examines the intersection of artificial intelligence (AI) literacy education, creative industries curriculum development, and emerging pedagogical frameworks to identify opportunities for educational transformation in K-12 and higher education contexts. Through analysis of empirical research spanning AI learning tools, creative industries curriculum frameworks, and pedagogical innovation, this paper synthesises key trends and identifies critical success factors for preparing students for the Fourth Industrial Revolution (4IR). The review reveals that whilst AI implementation in education shows significant progress, there remains a substantial gap between technological capabilities and pedagogical intelligence. The study highlights the importance of constructivist pedagogies, project-based learning approaches, and industry-aligned curriculum frameworks that emphasise both technical competency and critical soft skills development. Key findings indicate that successful educational transformation requires integration of authentic assessment practices, industry partnership models, and adult learning principles that foster lifelong learning capabilities. The implications for curriculum design emphasise the need for empirical frameworks that balance technological proficiency with human-centred skills, preparing graduates for increasingly complex and uncertain career landscapes whilst addressing ethical considerations and bias mitigation in AI implementation.

This study was carried out to determine the creative skills in TVET for self reliance and lifelong learning in the Nigerian society. The survey research design was adopted for the study with a population of five hundred and fifty one (551). Purposive sampling technique was used to select four government technical colleges and a simple random sampling was adopted to draw a total of thirty (30) teaching staff from each college. This gives a total sample of one hundred and twenty (120) that was used for the study. The instrument used for data collection was a twenty (20)-item structured questionnaire titled 'Creative Skills Performance Indicators in TVET Questionnaire' (CSPITQ). Data collected were analyzed using mean scores and population t test. The mean was used to answer the research questions while the population ttest for single mean was used to test the hypotheses at 5% level of significance with 119 degree of freedom. Findings of the study revealed that creative skills in TVET as measured by the performance indicators for thinking and producing skills are needful for self reliance and lifelong learning in the Nigerian society. It was therefore concluded that creative skills enhance the productive engagement and the competitiveness of an individual in the job market. Recommendations were made to include restructuring TVET program to focus on developing creative skills and abilities in learners, and measuring students performance through school by teachers against performance indicators for both thinking (soft) and producing (hard) skills.

Problem. The U. S. manufacturing industry encounters a critical skills shortage, threatening growth and long-term sustainability. This challenge is compounded by the rapid advancement of technology, further widening the skills gap as workforce competencies lag behind industry needs. Despite its importance, limited research systematically addresses these issues. Understanding the gap is essential to aligning workforce capabilities with evolving demands. Solution. This study utilizes a qualitative approach to investigate the skills gap through insights from industry leaders. Guided by Becker's Human Capital Theory, semi-structured Zoom interviews were conducted with manufacturing leaders across the U.S. Thematic analysis revealed two key themes: (1) integrating talent development strategies and (2) adopting advanced technologies to enhance workforce capabilities. These findings provide actionable insights for addressing workforce challenges. Stakeholders. Manufacturing leaders, human resource development professionals, and policymakers are key stakeholders. Collaboration among these groups is vital to bridging the skills gap and preparing a future-ready workforce.

The career aspirations of Generation Z are increasingly shaped by digitalization, with a strong preference for flexible, digital, and location-independent careers. This mixed-methods study explores these aspirations among 87 young individuals aged 15-27, combining quantitative survey data with qualitative content analysis to provide insights into career preferences and motivations. Results reveal a significant inclination toward digital and social media-related professions, with a notable emphasis on work-life balance and autonomy. While digital careers are attractive, the perceived feasibility decreases with age, reflecting a developmental shift toward more realistic career expectations. The findings underscore the impact of social media on career aspirations and highlight the need for career counseling that addresses the risks and challenges of digital career paths. The study also discusses implications for education and policy, aiming to support young people in navigating an evolving career landscape.
