LTKarjeros planavimas, organizavimas bei vystymas visuomet buvo aktuali problema ir organizacijos ir jos darbuotojų interesų požiūriu. Problemos reikšmingumą rodo ir tai, kad ją nagrinėja ne tik personalo vadybos, bet ir sociologijos bei psichologijos specialistai. Technologijų tobulėjimas, informacinis visuomenės vystymas, globalizacija verčia organizacijas į problemas, susijusias su žmogiškaisiais ištekliais, žiūrėti iš kitos pusės, ieškoti naujų problemų sprendimo būdų, keičiant tradicinį nusistovėjusi požiūrį į personalo motyvaciją, poreikių tenkinimą ir ypač, į karjeros kaip motyvuojančio veiksnio galimybes.
ENThe purpose of the work is to analyze career possibilities as a factor motivating the employees. The research literature analysis confirms that two different approaches to career exist: traditional and modern. Modern approach becomes more and more popular, because organizations seek to maintain employees motivation, who are interested in career, by creating alternatives to traditional hierarchical career stages. According to modern approach, career motivation depends on employee's possibilities, capabilities and willingness to manage career, knowing, in which direction he wants to develop his career. So this work is devoted to the analysis, what career possibilities exist in modern organizations and which of these possibilities are the strongest motivators for employees. Research highlighted that employees' attitudes reflect the traditional career approach, though some elements of modern career approach, such as opportunities to develop competence and express your self become obvious. Also research showed, that career is very strong employee motivating factor, because it can satisfy both types of needs: basic (physiological) and higher. Also it turned out that organizations do not pay necessary attention to employees' career developing. Those aspects allow making an assumption that if organizations create conditions for career planning and developing only then employees will pay attention and will be interested in career possibilities as a factor motivating the employees.
