Journal Title: IOSR journal of Business and Management - Year 2018, Vol 20, Issue 1
Abstract
The focus of the study was about the extent to which the organization’s career management activities matches its employees career needs. Using the theories of career needs and organizational career management, the study attempted to examine the career needs of a group of workers and their employing organization’s career management activities to see if the needs were met. A cross-sectional correlational study design was used. The setting was in Kenya, Africa, in a suburb area outside of Nairobi. Using random sampling procedure, 155 questionnaires were distributed to a group of individuals who worked in various organizations in that area. A self-designed questionnaire was used as instrument and was divided principally into two major sections that surveyed the needs and the organizational management activities. The findings showed significant differences in the way individuals view their career needs based on gender, age and tenure. The study also indicated that the organizations do not sufficiently inquire about the career needs of the individual workers. Finally, the study showed that, although the employees agree that the organizations have career management activities, some aspects of the needs are not met.
