Career Orientations of Managers from Central and Eastern Europe

The present study examined the career orientations of 71 managers and professionals from Central and Eastern Europe while they attended a 6-wk. program having the objective of fostering business ventures between Canadian organizations and companies in their home countries. Four career orientations were examined: managerial, technical-functional, entrepreneurial, and security. Three of the four (managerial, entrepreneurial, security) were relatively high and higher than the technical-functional career anchor.
