person, the external environmental influences ,or the
internal influences , in which these factors interact.

environmental and personal factors .

Each of these stages may not be influenced by
attitudes,motivation,the nature of the task,economic
conditions and so on««..

and expectations change as the
individual moves through the stages.

1. Apprenticeship phase
2. Advancement phase

with technical knowledge but often without an understanding of the
organizations demands and expectations . Consequently ,they must work
fairly closely with more experienced people . the relationship that develops
between the young professionals and their supervisors is an Apprenticeship.
This is also known as Establishment phase.
2.   
 : Following the establishment phase is the
advancement phase which lasts approximately from age 30 to 45 . At this
phase mostly employees are less concern or safety and more concern for
achievement, esteem and autonomy.
" 
 
 : Following the advancement phase . This period is
marked by efforts to stabilize the gains of the past. they are expected to
become the mentors of those in apprentice ship.

relationship between an experienced employee and junior, where the
experienced person helps the junior person by sharing information gained

‡ Managers face the midcareer plateau during the adult stage of life and the
maintenance phase of careers. At this point , the likelihood of additional
upward promotion is usually quite low. There are simply fewer jobs at the
top of organizations, and even though the manager has the ability to
perform at that level. No opening exists.. openings may exist but the
manager may lack the ability, the skills, or the desire to fill them.

Managers who find themselves stifled in their present jobs thend to

cope with the problems in fairly consistent ways. They suffer form
depression , poor health, and fear of and hostility toward their subordinates.
Eventually, they ³retire´ on the job or leave the organization physically and
permanently.

Individual and organizational needs and opportunities can be matched in a
variety of ways. According to a survey by the American Management
Association (AMA) ,the most widely used approaches are counseling by the
personal staff and career counseling by supervisors.

‡ Informal Counseling
‡ Formal Counseling

Informal Counseling : The HR staff of the organizations often include counseling

services for employees who wish to assess their abilities and interests.

centers are being used increasingly in organizations

The result of career planning is the placement of

an individual in a job that is the first of a
sequential series of jobs. From the perspective of
the organization, career paths are important in
workforce planning

‡ Increasing competition, accelerating

change and relentless restructuring have
made career planning and development
critical for both organisations and
employees.
‡ Effective career planning is essential for
employees if they are to fully achieve their
career objectives. They must see it as their
responsibility.
 ") 

‡ Organisations, in turn, must realise a

better match between employee career
aspirations and job opportunities to
obtain the supply of qualified human
resources needed to achieve strategic
organisational objectives.
