OLIVEIRA-SILVA, Lígia Carolina and SILVA, Ana Paula dos Santos Souza. Flourishing at work: Interfaces with career behaviors. Rev. bras. orientac. prof [online]. 2015, vol.16, n.2, pp.197-205. ISSN 1679-3390.
Flourishing at work is a goal pursued by many professionals who put effort in their career nowadays. However, little is known about which career factors would help someone to flourish at work. Thus, this study investigated how career behaviors are related to flourishing at work. Four hypotheses were tested, proposing relations between career exploration, career planning and career commitment with flourishing at work. The study included 149 professionals, most were under 45 years old and had an average of seven years of professional experience. Results indicated that both career exploration and planning predict flourishing at work, being this relationship mediated by career commitment. These evidence may be useful for autonomous workers, professional advisors, career researchers and organizations which aim for flourishing at work through career development.
