An investigation into the perceptions of internal and external career barriers amongst female South African police officers in the Western Cape

Abstract

dc:description.abstract

This research explores the perceptions of internal and external career barriers from the perspective of female South African police officers in the Western Cape. This research is primarily informed by Swanson and Woitke's (1997) translation of career assessment theory into practice for women; Swanson, Daniels and Tokar's (1996) focus on the perceptions of career-related barriers and Bandura's (1977, 1986, 1988, 1995 & 1997) research findings that relate to the construct of self-efficacy and beliefs that individuals hold about their own capabilities. The research provides an overview of Career Development theories.
