| Description | Career development is a lifelong process, which could be considered to be one of forms of human development. Career development stems as well as human development from needs of individuals, which appear in a specific social context, they are influenced by a line of social factors and their satisfying is limited by setting rights and duties of individual participants in the role of citizens. Whereas career development aims at professional identity, personal development is represented by a line of other identities, in which citizen identity plays crucial role. Citizen identity of adults is tightly connected to environment in which an individual lives and unfolds from awareness of mutual links among cultural, social and economic activities at the country level, in international and global scales. The aim of this paper is to identify relationships between success in the labour market and civic identity and use them to infer opportunities for career guidance services to further fulfilling the citizen role in adults. We identified for the purpose of this paper the factors (resource concentration factor, satisfaction factor, stability factor) on data from questionnaire research and we describe this factors in the light of fulfilling one’s civic role. This questionnaire represents one step within the second phase of research on the topic: The needs of adults in relation to the building of their careers and how to satisfy these through career counselling and guidance services. The selected sample is a representative sample of adult population in the Czech Republic at the age from 18 to 60 among registered users of an internet board of the company Perfect Crowd. The representativeness of the selected sample has been guaranteed by quota selection according to gender, age group, education attained and district. |
