CAREER DEVELOPMENT IN A LEARNING ORGANIZATION

(Darren Dugan) #1

As established in the previous chapters of literature review and analysis, the
environment of learning organization is maintained on the concepts of continuous
adaptation resulting in continuous development of the organization. In the process, the
individuals’ growth opportunities are more likely to evolve continuously. This provides a
strong base for the supposition that when all the other factors are kept constant then a
strong relationship exists between the Career Development process and Organizational
Development process. Under the circumstances as the environment is not controlled so
the results have established that a positive correlation exists between the two processes
but the intensity is not high. This is because a complex multiple correlation system exists
in the process which makes it difficult to totally eliminate the other dynamics and role of
other factors in the process.
The future avenues linked with this study that could be further explored are
related to the legal aspect of this study. Besides, there exists a wide range of prospects for
exploring how a government structure can play its role in promoting individuals’ career
development. As the skills attained by the individuals are not only harvested by the
individuals but also strengthen the quality level of the local market. Hence it works
against the outflow of the valuable foreign exchange contributing to strengthening the
country’s economy in the long run. A research study may be conducted to explore the
legal implications of this study.
Another aspect that needs to be explored is that how future career growth could be
visualized in a flat structure to which organizations shift. In these flatter structures, the
presently existing career development patterns can not be implemented effectively and
hence new career development patterns need to be explored.
We see from the given analysis that career development plans are specific to
individuals and single plan can not be generalized to all the staff. Therefore, a research
may be conducted to invent new kind of capacity development tools that could be more
effective in handling individuals’ specific development strategies. This would make the
process cost effective with a precise desired impact on capacity development hence
enhancing its outcome.
