Abstract

Based on survey data from 220 Dutch secondary school teachers, their perception of Organization Career Management - i.e. activities undertaken by the schools in order to plan and manage teachers’ careers - was examined in relation to their engagement in Career Self-Management - i.e. teachers steering their careers, by means of searching for opportunities, networking or seeking supervisory support. Regression and mediation analysis in SPSS using the PROCESS macro, showed that positive relationships between Organization Career Management and Career Self-Management were partly or fully mediated by Occupational Self-Efficacy and Learning Goal Orientation.
