Abstract
The Life Span Model of Career
Development divides the life span
into five different stages; Initial,
Establishment, Maintenance,
Growth and Decline. An individual
becomes a full time member
in an organization at Establishment
Stage and remains engaged
with the same or different
employers until he reaches the
Decline Stage around 60 years of
age. The employee may frequently
change his employers but his attitude
towards the job changes in
a consistent manner. The results
of a survey in an insurance company
with Minnesota Satisfaction
Questionnaire fail to predict overall
satisfaction at any stage. It is
concluded that appropriate
modulation in each aspect while
designing contents of a job for
an employee at a particular age
group may increase his satisfaction
to a large extent.
