Abstract
Different career systems foster dissimilar
end states and opportunities.
Since, work values are the standards
by which employees discern
the importance or establish preferences
with regard to workplace outcomes
it is proposed that employee
work values could be a useful frame
to understand the variations in the
adoption of career system practices
across organizations. Although the
effects of work values on vocational
choice making have been
studied before, employee work values
have not been linked to the career
management systems in organizations.
Two sets of higher order
constructs of work values, viz. openness
to change and self-transcendence
are proposed to relate to internal
career management systems
whereas two others viz. conservatism
and self-enhancement are proposed
to relate to external career
management systems.
