The career anchors, job involvement and job satisfaction of professional people

Abstract

dc:description.abstract

The study was designed primarily to test the effect of career orientations on the work outcomes of job satisfaction and job involvement among South African professional people. The hypotheses relating the career orientation, job satisfaction and job involvement constructs were extrapolations from the original theory of Edgar Schein (1978,1985, 1987b). Secondary aims included an initial assessment of the psychometric properties of the measuring instruments for a South African sample, and comparisons among the 14 professional groups sampled on each of the dependent variables.
