Abstract
The world has undergone a dramatic change over the last few decades, the forces of globalization; technological changes have greatly changed the business environment. Organizations were required to respond in a strategic manner to the changes taking place in order to survive and progress. At the other side workers who are educationally, socially, and mentally prepared for a changing workplace will be able to reap benefits from global integration. The demand will be for workers who are creative and innovative, who have the basic skills and technological competence to succeed in a changing work environment. Instead of task-specific skills, these workers must have decision-making and problem-solving skills and be able to learn on their own and with others. Taking responsibility for one’s personal career management appears to be the prevalent strategy for increasing one’s marketability in today’s workplace. Human resource managers can help current employees in this endeavour by incorporating in their clients an awareness of the changing reality of careers, emerging organizational structures, and environmental situations. Most important role in that process has career management. We can define career management as the lifelong process of investing resources to achieve career goals. Career management is not a singular event but a continuing process that is a necessity for adapting to the changing demands of the 21st Century economy.
