Review # 1 was written on 2016-09-19 00:00:00 Nicholas Casale För ett par år sedan, en distanskurs i arbetspsykologi via BTH. I vår 814-sidiga kursbok 'Work Psychology' av Arnold, Randall et al ägnades ca en sida åt Scheins teori om karriärankare. De har dröjt kvar i mig. Som ankare gör. Karriärankare, career anchors, är "areas of the self-concept that a person would not give up, even if faced with a difficult choice". Det handlar om värderingar. Vad man är bra på. Vad man motiveras av. Vad man strävar mot. Om arbetsplatsens värderingar stämmer med ens egna. Efter longitudinella alumnistudier från 1961 och framåt var Scheins tes att alla har ett ankare. I boken diskuteras detta sedan ur ett organisationspsykologiskt perspektiv. Lättläst och intressant. Managerial competence. Technical/functional competence. Security. Autonomy and independence. Entrepreneurial creativity. Pure challenge. Service/dedication. Lifestyle integration.

Review # 2 was written on 2018-01-28 00:00:00 Charlie Maguire I have used Edgar Schein's Career Orientations Inventory, that is in this book for readers to complete, with hundreds of individuals. It is a powerful way for someone, as Schein says in the Introduction, "to identify your career anchor and to think about how your values relate to your career choices. When you know your career anchor, you empower yourself to confront career choices and decisions in a manner consistent with what you truly value and how you really see yourself." Once you complete the inventory Schein takes you through a description of what your answers to the inventory mean. He then provides a very clear framework for you to be interviewed by "a partner with whom you feel free to share the events of your career so far." He provides a list of 18 questions for the partner to ask that provide a detailed, personal framework for how your career anchors relate to your own remembrances of your career development. The inventory and partner interview provide information that allows the reader to create a career plan that is based on real, concrete information about what is most important to them in their career moving forward.
