Research Abstract	Research carried out on the career orientations of R＆D professionals has conventionally utilized managerial orientation and technical orientation in the United States. However, in Japan, technical orientation is divided into the research and engineering categories, with research referring to a fundamental quest for the true nature of issues, while engineering denotes research carried out to develop practical technologies or product commercialization. Moreover, because mid-career professionals often take on both the managerial duties associated with project maintenance and technical R＆D, we call it organizing orientation. And Commercializing orientation strongly emphasizes the collaboration with other departments and negotiating with customers.
