Theoretical Drivers Of Early Career Success For New Entrants To The Job Market

Author

  • M. Todd Royle

Abstract

This research proposes a new model of early career success based on both individual characteristics and environmental features. The model contends that individuals discover their unique aptitudes, abilities, and values which in conjunction with environmental conditions, helps them create goals. This leads to a choice of organizations. Once there, the degree to which employees fit in their new firms and the type of socialization used by those employers differentially affects the implementation of their goals. Both the success and failure of the implementation of these goals then leads to an evaluation of how well it has promoted their careers
