Some
aspects manipulated business career
Today,
management of business career to become one of the most important functions of
human resource management organizations. It is difficult to divide the activity
of the head on the management of the organization and management of people. The
goals and interests of employees are inextricably linked to the aims and
objectives of the organization. Every employee of the company comes to her not
as a mechanism for performing certain actions and operations, as well as a
reasonable, thinking individual, has its own motives, aspirations, and
emotions, share certain values and morals.
Given
the importance of career staff for the organization and for the individual
issues of development the subject of several studies. A considerable part of
them is aimed at studying the content of a career, its kinds, types, stages of
development and is exploring current ideas about the career personnel, the
motives of career aspirations and their consistency with the career management
methods in domestic organizations.
The
process of career management development as a general practice, as well as the
subject of research at the present stage is also experiencing a number of
difficulties. So, quite often there are contradictory, inconsistent and
somewhat illogical recommendations based on translations of western special
literature, not sufficiently adapted to the realities of the Russian economy.
Nevertheless, the use of international experience in the study of the issue
management career opportunities based on the works of such authors as R.
Beblin, K. Blanchard, P. Hersey, F. Herzberg, John Holland and others.
A
domestic career management practice in an organization is not characterized by
a great variety of definitions of the concept, as well as the presence of a
single integrated method of forming a career management system in the
organization. Nevertheless, a number of works of Russian authors there and
deserves immediate attention. Among them, the work of A. Bazarov, A. Egorshin,
P. Zhuravlev, A. Kibanov, V. Shapovalov.
Summarizing
the features contained in the existing definitions of this concept, we offer
the following definition.
Business
career – is the progressive advancement of the individual in any field of
activity, change of skills, abilities, qualifying opportunities and
remuneration associated with the activities. It finds its expression in moving
forward on the path once chosen activities to achieve higher status, obtaining
greater powers, etc. Therefore, career is not only a promotion. You can talk
about a career as an activity.
Particularly
acute this problem is facing growing companies that are developing new
projects, opening up new areas of activity and enter new markets. What in fact
is meant when people talk about the lack of good staff? Workers on the labor
market there. The issues that the company in the person on the staff must ask
us: How can these workers bring to their company? How to keep them (as new as
the old – so it was not necessary to look for new ones)? How to improve their
performance, motivation and get the full benefit of their work? What causes
such an approach, we see the labor market: employees actually dictate their
conditions and often “look around” in search of the best deals. It is not
necessary to mention about the efficiency and motivation.
Wages
and working conditions are of course important, but not enough. The well-known
psychological fact is that an increase in wages to motivate the employee ceases
in 2 – 5 months. It is also an attempt to attract, motivate and retain
employees, relying only on the material component, leads to higher wages,
breaking expectations of the company and the employee. As a result, there is a
situation which can often be seen: good managers and professionals every year
moving from company to company, raising itself salaries by 20 – 30%, and
sometimes return to the company, where he once worked, but on a new level of
salary.
Companies,
realizing that higher salaries leads them into a vicious cycle, and does not
give the expected returns in productivity, start looking for a variety of non-material
forms of motivation and retention of employees. We will not list them here,
only a reservation, that most of them require companies material costs and work
for that employer for relatively little money offer people what they are for
the same money, issued on his hands, cannot receive.
Themselves
as employees, motivating only financially, first, as already noted, the
motivation to lose pretty quickly, and secondly, their goals have a very short
time horizon – they seek to improve their short-term value and have no
long-term strategy. Frequently changing jobs, they do not set goals, and often
do not have the opportunity to develop skills such as leadership, strategy,
people management, participation in long-term programs and bring them to the end.
The
desire for immediate self-realization, that is an interesting activity,
pleasure from the result and from the activity itself is a very strong and
important motivator. What kind of work will give the man a self-realization?
Here are all individually and is based on the use of our strengths, “talent” as
they are called in the western literature. When a person is in their daily work
the most of their talents, such work does not seem heavy and dull, is easy and
brings a sense of satisfaction. In the hierarchy of needs by Abraham Maslow,
self-realization is considered to be the highest human need. Modern identity
theory also attributed it to the main motivating factors. And unlike other
external factors, this motivation is internal, coming from his own “I am”, and
it is able to induce surrender.
Many
executives embarking on career planning of their staff, as a rule, after the
certification. Certification allows you to identify the most promising members
of the team that can achieve the greatest success in their professional
activities. employee career management is not only setting goals of its
professional development, but also in the definition of the means to achieve
these goals.
On
the career development have significant impact characteristics such as:-
-
the level of intelligence;
-
special skills;
-
knowledge;
-
competence;
-
awareness;
-
certain personality traits;
-
Human needs.
Each
person needs to plan for their future, their career based on their needs and
socio-economic conditions. Proper self-assessment of their skills and traits
business requires knowledge of himself, his strength, his weaknesses and
shortcomings. Only under this condition can be properly put career goals.
The
goal of career cannot be called a field of activity, some work, position and place on the ladder. She has a deep content, and
appears in the reason that people would like to have this particular job, hold a
certain step in the hierarchy of posts.
Managing
a career in the process, you must:
1)
to expand their knowledge, acquire new skills;
2)
to prepare themselves to take a higher-paying position, which will soon become
vacant;
3)
to know and appreciate other people, important for a career;
4)
to remember that everything in life is changing (the employee, his knowledge
and skills, market, organization, environment), to evaluate these changes;
5)
to take into account that in the field of career decisions are almost always a
compromise between desires and reality, between the interests of the employee
and the organization.
Organizations
create special techniques and professional development management system,
preparation of reserve managers, career development. Human technology is
organically included in the personnel management structure, have the specifics,
the object of their exposure and have important managerial functions.
