Abstract

Although company employees in Japan are increasingly expected to learn themselves and build their career actively, research on adult learning for career development has attracted little attention. This study, using a hierarchical linear model, explores the effects of organizational settings and job attitudes such as risk-taking and flexibility for career development. A survey was conducted among 1,214 employees in 17 firms and addressed key issues that their job attitudes, flexibility and risk-taking are important for their career development. The data reveal that clarification of the job content raises the level of risk-taking and thus encourages their career development, while workplace support such as sharing knowledge and skills reduces the level of them. These findings indicate that the former helps individuals with a high risk-taking propensity to build their careers, whereas the latter is required for those having less risk-taking propensity.
