The management of personal career in the aspect of self-fulfillment

Scientific problem: How does the management of personal career help satisfy a person’s need for self-fulfillment? The aim of the research is to theoretically analyse and empirically substantiate personal career management from the aspect of self-realization. Tasks of the research: 1. To analyse the aspects of personal career management and self-realization concepts and their mutual synergy. 2. To explore the attitudes of adults towards the management of their personal careers in satisfying the need for self- fulfillment. Research methods: analysis of scientific literature and interviews. Theoretical and empirical reseach and analysis confirmed the hypothesis that self-fulfillment through professional activities is possible when an individual is able to purposefully manage their personal career. This results in a strong synergistic link between personal career management and self-realization to achieve this goal. The analysis of qualitative data shows that interviewees have considerable experience in personal career management, are well aware of their competencies and have an excellent ability to realize themselves in practice. Self-expression at work is the most important driving force in everyone’s career. However, informants don‘t make sufficient use of all career planning opportunities (do not have an interest in career planning), which would allow them to pursue a career more effectively in the chosen field and give even more self-confidence
