Synopsis
Excerpt from Career Orientations of R& D Engineers in a Large Aerospace Laboratory
Recently, some reports have noted what may be new trends among engineers. The Columbia Career Bulletin (1979) reports that in some r&d organizations, managers are asking to be taken off the managerial track and put back into technical positions. Although anecdotal, these data may indicate that some engineers value the technical work they do more than they value progress up any hierarchical ladder. Bailyn (1978) also notes that in general, there is less tendency to define a career only in terms of progress up a managerial ladder. Alternative career goals and lifestyles are becoming more prevalent and more accepted.
