3. Taking subject’s bibliography into consideration,
CARRER has got a lot of meanings.
1) Generaly, by CARRER we think about a special
type of job or profession. It means that in one
kind of job there is a specific „career path”. The
employee knows what he shall do in every step of
his work’s life. It’s a conception of D. Ahal.
Career - definitions

4. 2) In order hand, CAREER is considered as a social
promotion in organizational level. This is
connected with changing of work position (for
example: one’s of normal worker becomes a
manager) or begining a new job in other
organization with greater prestige (for example:
the worker changes the work place –it means a
movement to another company).

5. 3) H. Lopata says that „CAREER” is persived as
sequence of experience connected with road life.
By „experience” in this case, we understand
aspirations, satisfaction, and see yourself like a
fulfilled person in life (for example: bisnesman or
housewife).

6. But in Poland „CAREER” can be recived in a
positive or negative aspect.
The first one relates to the dimension of
profession and lifestyle what is very important in
our generation, especially for young and educated
people who enter to the job market.

7. By the way, word ”CAREER” has got also bad
significance. The person who does nothing in a
work aspects and gets a lot of profits of that
(things like: grants, awards, praises etc.) is called
idle. In other words it is a person who used to use
the work of another people to gain his own
benefits. The name of that person in Poland
sounds: ”KARIEROWICZ”.

8. In according to the given proposals, we define the
term „CAREER” as
a process of obtaining practical and
professional experience, and also implementing
the actions leads to achieve satisfaction over a
lifetime.

9. Majority of individual
development theories says
that life of person is like a
cycle who is built from the
another following steps.
Which are the special units
of human development.
Individual development theories

10. All of those steps have two intentional meanings:
● building step
● temporary step
They have a the same significance. All of them are
conected with edge of persons.

11. The needs are the basis individual separation of
another trend in the theory of career
development. This trend is based on the one hand
on the achievements of the theory of needs, on
the other hand the achievements of personality
theory and can be considered as a complementary
way of explaining an individual's career.
Phase of life and the needs of an
individual

12. With regard to the needs theory there are
formulated the following claims:
- Needs met at the right time and at the
appropriate level
- The need of a higher order, if they met
occasionally
- Met the needs of a large time delay or at a lower
level than experienced will become subconscious
motivation factors for an individual.

13. This process includes:
I. Career planing
II. Career management
Levels of career development

14. The relationship between
human resource planning and career
development

15. It is a special racionalized process of an individual
action, which want to get promotion, by having
control on its activitis, and that person see the
future situation depended of its own features and
behaviour and set goals that must beachieved.
Planning of career - definition

17. As a result of planning treatments is to formulate
specific action plans in relation to staff (such as:
recruitment, allocation, training, studies plans,
etc.) in order to achieve the objectives laid down.
However, specific action plans are input in the
process of careers management.

18. Professional career management of employees
requires special selection and preparation, and
knowledge about all employees. This is the
activity of an organization with its own objectives
and instruments. In practice, however, is not
always extracted in a personal activity and it can
be variously defined.
Definition of career management

19. Research shows that most Polish enterprises
defines a “professional career” as a development
of qualifications. Almost as often a “professional
career” means taking over a higher position in the
organization. Significantly less a “professional
career” is seen through the prism of increase in
earnings*.
