| Abstract [eng] |
The aim of this article is to analyse career engagement of different generations in the Information and Communication Technology (ICT) sector in Lithuania. The research is based on the Kaleidoscope Career Model and Career Engagement Scale. The research included 571 representatives of Generation X and Generation Y living in Lithuania, EU, and those working in the ICT sector and/or studying in the area of Informatics. The Pearson correlation analysis and Independent Samples t Test were used for data analysis. The research revealed that career engagement of Generation X in the ICT sector is higher than that of Generation Y and is influenced by a variety of socio-demographic and other factors. The dimensions of the Kaleidoscope Career Model—Authenticity, Balance and Challenge—and their need are more vividly expressed in Generation X than in Generation Y. Statistically significant differences were identified in career engagement of generations X and Y and Balance and Challenge dimensions of the Kaleidoscope Career Model. |
