[pt] Mudanças nas últimas décadas no contexto do trabalho levaram ao delineamento de novos modelos de carreira que não são mais ancorados nas organizações, mas no próprio trabalhador. As organizações e funcionários se tornaram menos dependentes e comprometidos um com os outros. Um dos arranjos alternativos de trabalho, que surgiram e cresceram nesse cenário, foi a Gig Economy, caracterizada por relações de trabalho intermediadas por plataformas, temporárias e sob contrato. A recente ascensão, impacto no mercado de trabalho, novas características, experiências e habilidades de trabalho da Gig Economy evidenciam a importância de se entender as orientações profissionais desses trabalhadores. Partindo do entendimento de que essas mudanças no contexto do trabalho tendem a se intensificar, nos próximos anos, o objetivo deste trabalho foi identificar as principais âncoras de carreira dos profissionais da Gig Economy. Para isso, foi aplicado o inventário de Schein (1996) a 211 trabalhadores Gig das categorias de transporte por aplicativo, entregas por aplicativo, guia turístico e redator/designer, a fim de identificar as suas motivações, habilidades e valores de trabalho. As duas âncoras predominantes encontradas foram Estilo de vida e Competência Técnico-Funcional, enquanto a âncora menos predominante foi Competência Gerencial. / [en] In recent decades, changes in the work environment have led to the establishment of new career models that are no longer based on organizations, but on the worker themselves. Organizations and employees have become less dependent on and committed to each other. One of the alternative work arrangements that have emerged and grown in this scenario is the Gig Economy, characterized by work relationships mediated by platforms, temporary and contract-based. The recent rise, impact on the labor market, new characteristics, experiences, and work skills of the Gig Economy highlight the importance of understanding the professional orientations of these workers. Based on the understanding that these shifts in the work context are poised to intensify in the near future, the objective of this research was to determine the key career anchors of professionals in the Gig Economy. To accomplish this, Schein s inventory (1996) was administered to 211 Gig workers in the categories of ride-sharing, delivery services, tour guides, and writer/designers, to identify their work motivations, skills, and values. The two predominant career anchors identified were Lifestyle and Technical/Functional Competence while the least predominant anchor was General Managerial Competence.

Titel: Direktörer i diadem - En studie kring hur genusroller och stereotyper påverkarkarriärvägar och ledarskap inom företagsvärlden Nivå: Examensarbete på grundnivå (kandidatexamen) i ämnet företagsekonomi Författare: Vilma Brommels och Josephine Bäcklund Handledare: Monika Wallmon Datum: 2024 – januari Syfte: Syftet med denna studie är att utforska uppfattningar och förväntningar som ställs på män och kvinnor i ledande positioner inom företagsvärlden, med särskilt fokus på hur dessa uppfattningar och förväntningar är rotade i och påverkas av genusroller enligt Social role-teorin samt Edgar Scheins Karriärankarteori. Metod: Blandad metodansats, kombinerade både kvalitativa och kvantitativa tekniker, med tyngd i den kvalitativa delen. Det empiriska materialet har samlats in genom både enkäter och intervjuer med tio individer som besitter en ledande position. Resultat och slutsats: Studien understryker att kvinnor i högre utsträckning än män upplever behovet av att hävda sig och kämpa mer på arbetsplatsen. Detta bekräftar hur sociala förväntningar och stereotyper skapar en miljö där kvinnor känner sig tvungna att överprestera för att uppnå samma nivå av erkännande som män. Studien belyser hur homosocialitet (tendensen att välja personer som liknar en själv) spelar en stor roll i rekryteringsprocessen. Detta fenomen bidrar till att män oftare väljs till ledande positioner, vilket förstärker könsskillnader i ledarskap. Studien visar att kvinnor behöver kräva mer i lön och inte dra sig för förhandlingar. Löneskillnader mellan könen uppfattas som omotiverade och orättvisa eftersom kvinnor erbjuds mindre lön för samma arbete. Det framkom att kvinnor tenderar att dra sig mot ankaret “sense of service” medanmän drar sig mot ankaret “lifestyle”. Detta kan spegla och förstärka traditionella könsspecifika förväntningar som påverkar yrkesval och karriärutveckling. Studien erbjuder en djupgående analys av hur genusroller och stereotyper påverkar karriärvägar och ledarskap inom företagsvärlden, med särskilt fokus på könsrelaterade förväntningar, löneskillnader och karriärankares påverkan. Dessa insikter är kritiska för att förstå och utmana de rådande normerna som bidrar till könsskillnader i ledarskap och yrkesutveckling. Examensarbetets bidrag: Ger ett teoretiskt bidrag genom att kombinera Edgar Scheins Karriärankarteori med Social role-teorin, vilket ger en fördjupad förståelse av samspelet mellan könsroller och drivkrafter i karriärutveckling. Praktiskt bidrar studien med insikter för ledarskap och personalutveckling, genom att visa hur organisationer kan skapa mer inkluderande arbetsmiljöer som tar hänsyn till könsrollers påverkan på karriärval, vilket i sin tur kan leda till ökad arbetsnöjdhet och produktivitet. Förslag till fortsatt forskning: Rekommenderar att utforska skillnaderna och likheterna i karriärval mellan chefer och medarbetare genom ett mer omfattande urval. En sådan studie kan ge en djupare insikt i hur karriärankare påverkar könsfördelningen i ledande befattningar. Föreliggande forskningsdesign, som kombinerar Karriärankarteorin med Social role-teorin, är robust och lämpar sig väl för fortsatt testning i större studier. Föreslår även att utforska interaktionen mellan omsorgsetikens principer och ledarskap samt karriärsutveckling. En fortsatt studie kan inkludera teoribas kring "Ethics of Care", som betonar relationella och situationsanpassade tillvägagångssätt. Ett särskilt fokus bör läggas på hur omsorgsetik kan påverka karriärsavancemang och könsdynamik inom olika professionella sammanhang, vilket skulle berika förståelsen och bidra till utvecklingen av mer inkluderande arbetsmiljöer. / Title: Directors in Diadems - A Study on How Gender Roles and Stereotypes Affect Career Paths and Leadership in the Corporate World Level: Student thesis, Final Assignment for Bachelor Degree in Business Administration Authors: Vilma Brommels and Josephine Bäcklund Supervisor: Monika Wallmon Date: 2023 - January Aim: The aim of this study is to explore perceptions and expectations placed on men and women in leading positions within the corporate world, with a particular focus on how these perceptions and expectations are rooted in and influenced by gender roles according to Social role theory and Edgar Schein's career anchor theory. Method: Mixed method approach, combining both qualitative and quantitative techniques, with an emphasis on the qualitative part. A mixed-method approach has been employed, and the empirical data have been collected through both surveys and interviews with tenindividuals holding leadership positions. Results and conclusions: The study emphasizes that women, to a greater extent than men, feel the need to assert themselves and fight harder in the workplace. This confirms how social expectations and stereotypes create an environment where women feel compelled to overperform to achieve the same level of recognition as men. The study highlights how homosociality (the tendency to choose individuals similar to oneself) plays a significant role in the recruitment process. This phenomenon contributes to men being more often chosen for leadership positions, reinforcing gender differences in leadership. The study addresses that women generally need to demand higher salaries and not shy away from negotiations. Gender pay gaps are unmotivated and unfair since womenare offered a lower salary for the same work. It was found that women tend to gravitate towards the career anchor "sense of service," while men lean towards "lifestyle". This may reflect and reinforce traditional gender-specific expectations that influence career choices and development The study provides an in-depth analysis of how gender roles and stereotypes affect careerpaths and leadership within the corporate world, with special focus on gender-related expectations, wage disparities, recruitment biases, and the impact of career anchors. These insights are critical for understanding and challenging the prevailing norms that contribute to gender differences in leadership and professional development. Contribution of the thesis: Provides a theoretical contribution by combining Edgar Schein´s career anchor theory with Social role theory, offering a deeper understanding of the interplay between gender roles and motivations in career development. Practically, the study contributes insights for leadership and personnel development, by demonstrating how organizations can create more inclusive work environments that consider the impact of gender roles on career choices, which in turn can lead to increased job satisfaction and productivity. Suggestions for future research: Recommends exploring the differences and similarities in career choices between managers and employees through a more extensive selection. Such a study could provide deeper insight into how career anchors affect gender distribution in leadership positions. The existing research design, which combines career anchor theory with Social role theory, is robust and well-suited for continued testing in larger studies. Also suggests exploring the interaction between the principles of care ethics and leadership as well as career development. A continued study could include a theoretical basis around "Ethics of Care," which emphasizes relational and situationally adapted approaches. Particular focus should be placed on how ethics of care can impact career advancement and gender dynamics within various professional contexts, which would enrich understanding and contribute to the development of more inclusive work environments.

The objective of the present study was to explore whether individuals' career anchors are dependent on their personality types. The Career Orientation Inventory (COI) and the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) were administered to a sample of honours students in the subject field of Industrial and Organisational Psychology in order to measure the relationship between the two constructs. For statistical purposes only the female participants were included in the final sample analysis (N=117) because of the underrepresentation of males. Statistically significant differences were established with regard to the security/stability career anchor and the ESFJ, ENFP, ESFP and INFP personality types. It is recommended that future studies include larger samples that are more representative of all possible sixteen (16) personality types and a broader range of occupations. The findings contribute new knowledge regarding the career anchors and personality preferences of females pursuing further studies in the field of IO-Psychology. / Industrial and Organisational Psychology / M.A. (Industrial and Organisational Psychology)

The primary objective of this study was to investigate the relationship between archetypal values (measured by the PMAI), career orientations (measured by the COI), perceived career success and meaningfulness (measured by open-ended questions) in a sample of 207 participants employed in the science and engineering sector. The secondary objective was to qualitatively assess the core themes underlying individuals‟ perceptions of their career success and meaningfulness. The tertiary objective was to determine whether demographic groups differ in terms of their archetypal values and career orientations. The research findings indicated significant relationships between participants‟ archetypal values, career orientations, their perceptions of career success and meaningfulness. The findings further revealed a number of core themes underlying individuals‟ perceptions of their career success and meaningfulness. Significant differences were observed between demographic groups in terms of their archetypal values and career orientations. The findings contributed valuable new knowledge to inform career counselling and decision-making practices. / Industrial and Organisational Psychology / M. Com.

The objectives of the research were: (1) to establish the relationship between individuals’ emotional affect, career resilience and their career orientations, (2) to explore the moderating role of emotional affect in the career resilience-career orientations relationship, and (3) to determine if employees from different years of service, occupational level, gender, age and race groups differ significantly in relation to their emotional affect, career resilience and career anchors. A convenience sample (N = 143) of predominantly black African people (86%) and staff level (80%) employees with more than 10 years of service (60%) participated in the study (mean age: 41 years; men: 52%; women: 48%). Correlational analysis showed significant associations between the variables. Hierarchical moderated regression analysis indicated high positive affect as a significant moderator of the career resilience-managerial competence career anchor relationship. High negative affect and low negative affect significantly weakened the career resilience-entrepreneurial creativity, career resilience-pure challenge and career resilience-lifestyle relationships. Significant differences were detected between the years of service, age and race groups regarding the variables. The findings may potentially inform the career development of employees in the Public Service / Industrial and Organisational Psychology / M. Com. (Industrial and Organisational Psychology)

The primary objectives of the study were as follows: (1) to explore the relationship between career anchors (as measured by the Career Orientations Inventory), organisational commitment (as measured by the Organisational Commitment Questionnaire) and turnover intention (as measured by a three-item questionnaire, developed by Mobley, Horner, and Hollingsworth, 1978); and (2) to determine whether employees from different gender, race, employment positions and age groups differ significantly in their career anchors, organisational commitment and turnover intention. A quantitative survey was conducted on a non-probability sample of 343 employed adults at managerial and general staff levels in the South African retail sector. The results of this study suggest that there was a significant but weak relationship between employees‟ career anchors and their organisational commitment. Career anchors were also found to be significantly related to organisational commitment and turnover intention; with entrepreneurial creativity, lifestyle and service/dedication to a cause career anchors being the best predictors of these two variables. The relationship between organisational commitment and turnover intention was significant and negative, with affectively and normatively committed participants being more likely to remain with the organisation (i.e. having lower turnover intentions). In addition, the findings indicate that although gender has no relationship with turnover intention, race, employment position and age do. African, general staff and 30 years and younger participants indicated higher intentions to leave the organisation. / Industrial & Organisational Psychology / M. Comm.

Le concept de carrière, autrefois considéré comme étant un chemin linéaire au sein d'une même entreprise dont les perspectives d'évolution étaient tenues pour acquis, semble aujourd'hui évoluer vers de nouveaux concepts de carrière. La rhétorique organisationnelle depuis la fin des années 1980 a progressivement évolué a d'un concept d'emploi long terme et permanent vers une nécessité claire de prise de responsabilité individuelle en vue d'assurer sa propre progression et son propre développement de carrière (Bolton & Gold, 1994; Baruch, 2006). En outre, les différences générationnelles et les avancées technologiques ont considérablement modifié l'environnement et le marché du travail, facilitant ainsi les échanges au-delà des frontières géographiques et introduisant la nécessité de gérer les différences culturelles (Crepeau et al., 2006). Nous analysons deux concepts de carrière afin de comprendre la vision contemporaine de carrière : en premier lieu, nous avons utilisé la théorie d'ancres de carrière développée par Schein (1978) qui a donné lieu à une compréhension plus large des différences individuelles ainsi que de la culture organisationnelle selon une perspective interdisciplinaire. Schein a défendu le point de vue que l'individu développe un « concept de soi » associé à sa carrière, qui devient une ancre stabilisant et influençant ses décisions liées à sa carrière. Dans une nouvelle conceptualisation de cette analyse, Feldman & Bolino (1996) défendent le point de vue que les ancres de carrière ont des associations les unes avec les autres. Ils proposent un modèle de compatibilité ou d'opposition basé sur le concept des huit ancres de carrière de Schein / Careers that were once conceptualized as life-long linear paths with frequent upward mobility within one organization have increasingly given way to new models of how careers unfold. The organizational rhetoric since the late 1980's has progressively changed from offering long-term and life-long employment, to clear messages concerning the imperative of individual career responsibility for one's progression and development (Bolton & Gold, 1994; Baruch, 2006). In addition, generational differences and technological advances have greatly changed the face of the work place, easily allowing the crossing of borders and the necessity to deal with cultural differences (Crepeau et. al., 2006). To understand how contemporary workers navigate in their careers, we mobilized two main career concepts. First, we used the theory of career anchors developed Schein (1978), which gave rise to wider understanding of both individual differences and organizational culture from an interdisciplinary perspective. Schein postulated that individuals develop a career “self-concept” which becomes an “anchor”, stabilizing and directing individual career decision-making. A re-conceptualization of his work by Feldman & Bolino (1996) postulated that career anchors could be associated with each other, proposing a model of compatibility or opposition in the relationships between the eight career anchors of Schein. Second, we used the boundaryless career concept, which suggested a change from the traditional career ideal of one single employer for the entirety of one's professional life (Arthur & Rousseau, 1996; Sullivan & Arthur, 2006)

Through the analysis of a case study with 56 journalists from Grupo Estado editorial office, the survey focused on how the journalists perform and adapt their careers in an increasingly transforming scenario, under the influence of new technologies and media convergence. Life style and autonomy and independence were the prevalent carrer anchors found among editors and reporters. It was observed that not only reporters with this profile have better chances to become editors but the latter will have preference for hiring reporters with similar career anchors. Also, at least within this case study, to verify elements that include journalists within boundaryless and protean careers were observed / Nesta pesquisa foram identificadas relações entre as âncoras de carreira e as atividades dos jornalistas que atuam dentro de uma grande empresa de comunicação impressa. Por meio de pesquisa descritiva de estudo de caso com 56 jornalistas que atuam na redação do Grupo Estado, procurou-se elucidar de que forma o contexto em transformação em que estes jornalistas atuam, sob influência das novas tecnologias e da convergência dos meios, interfere em sua carreira. As âncoras de carreira mais encontradas foram as de estilo de vida e autonomia e independência, sendo esta última com maior incidência tanto em editores como em repórteres. Constatou-se que tanto repórteres com esta âncora têm mais chance de tornarem-se editores quanto que editores têm mais propensão a contratar repórteres com esta âncora. Foi possível também observar elementos que, ao menos dentro deste estudo de caso, incluem os jornalistas dentro das carreiras sem fronteiras e das carreiras proteanas

The transition is the time through which the individual is changing the settings of his work, is coming out of an activity towards another with different characteristics and requirements; when there is a change, which can be deep or not in the professional paper. The present study aims to analyze the reasons for the career transition to university teaching, the career anchors and more prevalent motivational types in the researched public. A literature review was conducted to identify the key concepts of career, types of career, transition, personal values, challenges and opportunities of university teaching. This feature research is exploratory and the type is a case study with business professors in a higher education institution in the city of São Paulo. The instruments used are: Questionnaire to identify personal and professional profile, as well as reasons for the transition to university teaching career; questionnaire to identify the career anchor and the motivational type of each participant. The data analysis is qualitative and quantitative. The results indicate that the main reasons for the transition were found the opportunity rise and "old dream". The career anchor more present is Service and Dedication to a Cause and the motivational type Universalism. It is found at the end of the work that the results coincide with the characteristics of career transition particularities and characteristics inherent to university teaching, studied in this work / É cada vez mais natural que os profissionais façam transições em suas carreiras, ou seja, mudança na natureza do trabalho, nas atribuições, atividades e responsabilidades, que configurem uma mudança de identidade. A transição é o momento pelo qual o indivíduo está mudando as configurações de seu trabalho, está saindo de uma atividade rumo a outra com características e exigências diferentes; quando há uma mudança, podendo ser profunda ou não, no papel profissional. O presente estudo tem como objetivo analisar as razões da transição de carreira para a docência universitária, as âncoras de carreira e tipos motivacionais mais predominantes no público pesquisado. Foi realizado um levantamento bibliográfico para identificar os principais conceitos de carreira, tipos de carreira, transição, valores pessoais, desafios e oportunidades da docência universitária. Esta pesquisa é de caráter exploratório e o tipo é um estudo de caso com professores de administração em uma instituição de ensino superior da cidade de São Paulo. Os instrumentos utilizados são: questionário para identificar perfil pessoal e profissional, bem como razões para a transição à carreira docente universitária; questionário para identificar a âncora de carreira e o tipo motivacional de cada participante. A análise de dados é qualitativa e quantitativa. Os resultados apontaram que as principais razões encontradas para a transição foram o surgimento de oportunidade e sonho antigo . A âncora de carreira mais presente é Serviço e Dedicação a uma Causa e o tipo motivacional Universalismo. É constatado no final da pesquisa que os resultados coincidem com as particularidades da transição de carreira e as características inerentes à docência universitária, estudados neste trabalho

No. of bitstreams: 1 Gisele Seabra Abrahim.pdf: 529169 bytes, checksum: 2bffdcbf67e8b65be913b62980c464dc (MD5) Previous issue date: 2008-10-13 / The general objective of this work is to analyze the influence of the human values in the determination of the career anchors based on the idea that the professional predisposition receives influence from the cognitive central system; in other words, the values, which are conceived as a form of criteria capable of influencing actions, choices and the human behavior, interfering in the way each individual judges himself and others. In this sense, the human values affect the actions of the individuals on their work; and allied to the motivations and to the talent they stimulate the decisions over the career (SCHEIN, 1993). The studies of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) identified eight categories of professional inclinations, also called career anchors, which are stimulated by appetites, feelings and necessities and are established from the construction of the auto-concept (SCHEIN, 1993). From this perspective, it s possible to infer the existence of a narrow relationship between the human values and the career anchors. Facing this idea, do individuals with the same career anchors tend to prioritize the same human values? As the driver line of this investigation, the hypothesis that individuals with the same career anchors prioritize, in a similar way, the human values that guide their behavior, was launched. In this sense, the theoretical referential background of this research presents a system of definitions based on the studies of Schein (1993; 1996; 2006th; 2006b; 2006c) and Rokeach (1979; 1981) on careers and values because of the importance of their studies for each area of knowledge and for the international repercussion of their work, which favored the validation of the instruments of inquiry hereby used: the questionnaire of career anchors and the Rokeach Value Survey. The methodology is based on the type of correlation analysis between two variables: values and career anchors. The inquiry in locus was divided into two parts. In the first one, took place the simultaneous application of the two mentioned instruments in a sample of 100 university students of the courses of business administration and accountancy, of the Centro Universitário do Pará (CESUPA) and of the Pontifícia Universidade Católica de São Paulo (PUC-SP). In the second part, interviews were carried out with a person of each career anchor, with the exception of the general management competence since the results reached in the first stage were sufficient to attend the objective here drawn. The proceedings of analysis of these data include, besides the analysis of the content of the interviews and of the descriptions of the professional inclinations, some statistical tests such as Pearson's correlation coefficient and chi-square distribution, both applied to check the association between the variables of this inquiry. The correlation of the data obtained through the use of the above-mentioned instruments of inquiry demonstrates coherence with the formulated hypothesis, since the individuals with the same professional inclinations attributed similar grades to their respective hierarchies of values, above all when the values that can be tied to the characteristics inherent in each anchor are isolated, which are present in the theoretical content of Schein and in the testimonies of the interviewed ones. Though the results of the correlation tests presented moderate signification, they made possible the identification of the most and the least inclined human values of receiving bigger importance by the individuals inside the different categories of career anchors. In this sense, the conclusion of this investigation reinforces the influence of the human values in the decisions of career / O objetivo geral deste trabalho é analisar a influência dos valores humanos na determinação das âncoras de carreira visto que as predisposições profissionais recebem influência da centralidade do sistema cognitivo, isto é, dos valores, que são concebidos como critérios capazes de influenciar as ações, escolhas e comportamento humano, interferindo na maneira pela qual o indivíduo julga a si mesmo e aos outros. Nesse sentido, os valores humanos afetam as ações das pessoas sobre o seu trabalho; e aliados às motivações e ao talento estimulam as decisões de carreira (SCHEIN, 1993). Os estudos do Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) identificaram oito categorias de inclinações profissionais, também denominadas de âncoras de carreira, que são estimuladas por apetites, sentimentos e necessidades e estabelecem-se a partir da construção do auto-conceito (SCHEIN, 1993). Partindo dessa premissa, permite-se inferir a existência de um relacionamento estreito entre os valores humanos e as âncoras de carreira. Diante do exposto, os indivíduos com as mesmas âncoras de carreira tendem a priorizar os mesmos valores humanos? Como linha condutora desta investigação foi traçada a hipótese de que indivíduos com as mesmas âncoras de carreira priorizam de forma semelhante os valores humanos que guiam seu comportamento. Nesse sentido, o referencial teórico deste trabalho apresenta um sistema conceitual fundamentado nos estudos de Schein (1993; 1996; 2006a; 2006b; 2006c) e Rokeach (1979; 1981) sobre carreiras e valores em virtude da importância dos mesmos para as suas respectivas áreas e pela repercussão internacional de seus trabalhos que propiciaram a validação dos instrumentos de pesquisa aqui utilizados: o questionário de âncoras de carreiras e a escala de valores humanos. As ações metodológicas são alicerçadas pelo tipo de pesquisa correlacional entre as variáveis: valores e âncoras de carreira. A pesquisa de campo ocorreu em duas partes. Na primeira, ocorreu a aplicação simultânea dos dois instrumentos mencionados junto a uma amostra de 100 discentes dos cursos de administração e contabilidade, do Centro Universitário do Pará (CESUPA) e da Pontifícia Universidade Católica de São Paulo (PUCSP). Na segunda parte, foram realizadas entrevistas com uma pessoa de cada âncora de carreira, com exceção da competência gerencial, pois os resultados alcançados na primeira etapa foram suficientes para atender o objetivo aqui traçado. Os procedimentos de análise desses dados incluem, além da análise de conteúdo das entrevistas e das descrições das inclinações profissionais, a realização dos testes estatísticos qui-quadrado e coeficiente de correlação de Pearson, ambos aplicados para verificar a associação entre as variáveis desta pesquisa. O cruzamento dos dados obtidos por meio da utilização dos referidos instrumentos de pesquisa demonstra coerência com a hipótese formulada, pois os indivíduos com as mesmas inclinações profissionais atribuíram pontos similares nas suas respectivas hierarquias de valores, sobretudo quando se isolam os valores que podem ser ligados às características inerentes a cada âncora, presentes no conteúdo teórico de Schein e nos depoimentos dos entrevistados. Embora os resultados dos testes de correlação tenham apresentado significância moderada, os mesmos possibilitaram a identificação dos valores humanos mais propensos e os menos propensos de serem priorizados pelas pessoas dentro das diferentes categorias de âncoras de carreira. Nesse sentido, a conclusão dessa investigação reforça a influência dos valores humanos nas decisões de carreira
