From the invisible hand to the gladhand: Understanding a careerist orientation to work
提出并测量了“职业主义取向”概念，即通过非绩效手段追求职业晋升的倾向。基于227名商学院校友的数据，发现职业主义与更消极的工作态度、更强的晋升和跳槽意愿以及更频繁的晋升相关，对个人和组织职业管理有启示。
Abstract This article explores the concept of a careerist orientation to work, which is defined as the propensity to pursue career advancement through non‐performance‐based means. A scale is developed to measure this concept using a sample of 227 business school alumni. Exploratory empirical data suggest that careerism is associated with consistently more negative job attitudes, a greater desire to advance and to change jobs, and more frequent promotions. Implications of a careerist orientation to work for both individual career management and organizational career development are discussed.
