Managerial Career Development Programmes: Effectiveness, Availability and Acceptability
调查了英国120名在职攻读MBA的管理者，评估职业发展项目的可用性、有效性和可接受性，分析参与者对项目公平性和个人、组织及职业发展有用性的看法。
SUMMARY Though there have been many prescriptive accounts of career development procedures and techniques, there has been little systematic research into how extensive their use is in Britain, how effective they are, or how participants in such programmes react to them. Following a review of the availability, effectiveness, and acceptability of such programmes, we report the results of a survey of 120 British managers undertaking a distance‐learning Master of Business Administration programme. In particular, findings are presented concerning the availability and usage of a range of such procedures and respondents' reactions to them in terms of their perceived fairness and usefulness for personal, organizational and career development. These studies help to identify features that characterize well‐received career development programmes.
