Challengers of employees career management in the environment of change

Abstract

It is noted in the article that career management of employees is currently becoming a very relevant question of human resource management for the majority of organizations as it was never ever before. Career systems of organizations are improved because of the intensified social, economic, political and cultural changes. The Lithuanian public sector is also reforming its' career system: the laws regulating the careers of civil servants and other employees are amended, electronic careers planning is implemented. However it must be admitted that many drawbacks related to the legal regulation of this system are still noticeable. The data of the empirical research carried out by the authors completely confirm the statements of various specialists that not a few managers due to the lack of theoretical knowledge of management are still poorly oriented to the sharply changing world of the manager, therefore they are not ready to make their proper contribution to the change of the carrier systems. The authors of the article are suggesting to accelerate the processes of reform designing the career systems corresponding to the contemporary tendencies of changes, which could become the integrating factor of different aspects of human resources management.
