Bestuurders in 'n vervaardigingsonderneming se belewing van loopbaansukses

Abstract

The purpose of this research is to determine how managers in a manufacturing business experience career success. Phenomenological interviews were used as qualitative research design. A research group of 15 managers were included. It was found that the traditional definition of success has not kept pace with the changing world of work and that managers need to adapt accordingly. One of the proposed changes is that individuals should determine and define career success for themselves. An important aspect of career success is that an individual experiences career success holistically in which his or her different roles, such as that of spouse, parent and employee, are integrated. Various recommendations are offered to the organisation where the research was conducted for them to ensure improved career success among their managers.
