Outline of Final Research Achievements

This research project planned to investigate issues relevant to the emerging career paradigm conceptualized as "new careers" in Japanese work organizations, given the increased uncertainties and changes in today's organizational and institutional environments. Specifically, the research aimed at exploring the patterns of individual career orientations as well as the effective human resource management (HRM) practices that are supportive to the development of different types of career orientations. To achieve this goal, both qualitative and quantitative surveys over Japanese employees and managers were conducted. Several papers supported from this research funding have been published in major international journals, such as Human Relations, Journal of Managerial Psychology, and so forth.
