The Career Anchor Instrument:A Tool for Comparing Japanese and Canadian Career Orientations

Year: 2001

Type: article

Abstract: This paper introduces a twenty-four item Career Anchor instrument to efficiently compare the career orientations of Japanese and Canadians.The instrument, based on Schein's (1990) Career Anchor research, assesses the relative orientations of people along eight dimensions: security, entrepreneur, income, rootedness, service, specialization, management and balance.In order to address cultural differences in survey responses, researchers should transform respondent data before constructing additive scales.The latter point is demonstrated by comparing findings using raw and transformed data.
