Toyotarity. Elements of the organization's mission: monography

Abstract

Cultural factors have much influence on understanding of career phenomena and on career development alternatives which are suggested by the organizations or wider social systems supporting, deforming or even suppressing individuals’ career development processes. Culture undoubtedly influences career decisions made by individuals. Such variables operating in any culture as societal positions’ structure, attitudes to power and its acquisition possibilities, attitudes to personal development could be rightly advocated in terms of whether they provide contextual explanations of individual career behaviour. The authors of the article on the grounds of their empirical research analyze individual career development perspectives in relation to the cultural context. Such factors as career mobility, career aspirations, career and work identity construction efforts, internal and external career barriers were investigated and evaluated.
