No, it’s not International Talk Like a Pirate Day (that’s Sept 19th for any of you that are interested) but recently I’ve been asked to be a participant in a study based around career anchors. A PhD student from New Zealand is looking into how Schein’s Career Anchor model (1975), may now be expanded and updated.
Edgar Schein‘s model proposed that everyone has a different set of values and qualities which they employ with regards to their work life. These values make up their career anchors. A better understanding of one’s motivations (or limits) will lead to a clearer self concept and this will facilitate better career choices.
