| Summary: | 碩士 === 國立嘉義大學 === 國民教育研究所 === 89 === The purpose of this research was to explore the career development processes of females in public services, with a focus on the external “career development process” and internal “career anchor.” The participants were four women in public organizations, aged between thirty-five and forty-five, with over ten-year working experience. In-depth interview was the principal method used in collecting data, which were later transcribed into written script. Phenomenological principles and methods for data analysis were applied in developing themes from the interview data.
The major findings of the research were as follows:
1. The public female service’s external “career development process”. Six themes could be induced from the data: (1)career development pattern; (2)reason for joining the public services; (3)obstacles encountered during public service career; (4)need for advancement in work; (5)influence of family factors in career development; (6) expectation of future development.
2. As for internal the “career anchor,” four career anchors, including stability, autonomy, growth, and management, could be induced. Every interviewee had at least one career anchor. There were different implications for each career anchor.
Based on the findings above, discussions and suggestions were presented.
