Interpretation and analysis
Study Q. 4: What are the individuals’ expectations in terms of support from the
organization towards career development process?
Table # 56-D, 57-D, 58-D and 59-D shows the opinions how the organization can prepare
them for taking up any higher level of responsibility. Among those individuals who had
indicated that they can not handle the responsibilities of a higher position with their
present skills, 30.3% of the total says that they need a special training before they could
take up the charge of higher level of responsibilities. 27.3% says that they need on the job
coaching and 10.6% had given their opinion that they should be first prepared through
delegating some of the responsibilities initially and once they are comfortable with
handling that, then they should be formally handed over the tasks. 4.5% of the total has
opted for “any other suggestion” such as their presence with the seniors in the formal
meeting so they could see and learn. According to the above table 72.7% of the total
respondents have given their suggestion how they could develop the skills to handle
responsibilities of higher level. This negates the facts given in table# 55-D where 57.6%
has accepted that they can handle the responsibilities of the higher position with their
present skill, this again confirms that the response given in table # 55-D is actually the
optimistic opinion of the staff.
