This study investigated the impact of career role salience on career values and on career task concerns and involvement, with both stable wokers and in career transition workers. Four hundred ninety-nine male and female high education workers, aged 21 to 65 years old, answered the Salience Inventory, Work Values Scale and the ACCI - short version. Associations were found between the variables that showed the importance of work role salience for adult career development. Changes in career evolution processes and their implications for career development assessment in contemporaneity are discussed.
