  6. 1. Introduction An analysis of generalist career development at manufacturers will be more helpful than for the R&D specialist career paths that are considered simpler. When the responsibility for career development is shifting from company to individuals, the generalist's career-development patterns based on individual designs may be a useful clue for the technical white-collar employees to design their own paths.

  7. 2. Hypothesis In the case of the career path of those who are not technical professionals at large enterprises, it becomes similar to the so-called 'generalist type' which employee experience in two or more departments by making a core of the career at the department related to a specialty learned in school. Although the department taken charge of in an upper managerial position has a weak relation with the department where employees have gained experience in early stages of their career, it has a strong relation with the department experienced in later stages of career.

  8. 3. Method The data was obtained by the research project about the career of white-collar employees which the White-collar Career Development Promotion Center carried out in 1996. a)History of the change between departments b)Experienced department and position c)Contents of jobs d)Method of ability development e)Degree of familiarity of present job
