1.4 CAREER PLANNING PROCESS
Step 1: Knowing yourself
Begin by thinking about where you are now, where you want to be and how you’re going to get
there. Once you have thought about where you are at now and where you want to be, you can
work on getting to know your skills, interests and values.
Begin by asking yourself the following questions:
Where am I now?
Where do I want to be?
What do I want out of a job or career?
What do I like to do?
What are my strengths?
What is important to me?
At the end of this step you will have a clearer idea of your work or learning goal and your
individual preferences. You can use this information about yourself as your personal ‘wish list’
against which you can compare all the information you gather in Step 2: finding out. Your
personal preferences are very useful for helping you choose your best option at this point in
time, which you can do in Step 3: making decisions.
2
Step 2: Finding out
This step is about exploring the occupations and learning areas that interest you. Once you
have some idea of your occupational preferences you can research the specific skills and
qualifications required for those occupations.
Explore occupations that interest you and ask yourself how do my skills and interests
match up with these occupations?
Where are the gaps?
What options do I have to gain these skills or qualify for these occupations?
What skills do I need?
Where is the work?
At the end of this step you will have a list of preferred occupations and/or learning options.
Step 3: Making decisions
This step involves comparing your options, narrowing down your choices and thinking about
what suits you best at this point in time.
Ask yourself:
What are my best work/training options?
How do they match with my skills, interests and values?
How do they fit with the current labour market?
How do they fit with my current situation and responsibilities?
What are the advantages and disadvantages of each option?
What will help and what will hinder me?
What can I do about it?
At the end of this step you will have narrowed down your options and have more of an idea of
what you need to do next to help you achieve your goals.
3
Step 4: Taking action
Here you plan the steps you need to take to put your plan into action.
Use all you have learnt about your skills, interests and values together with the information you
have gathered about the world of work to create your plan.
Begin by asking yourself:
What actions/steps will help me achieve my work, training and career goals?
Where can I get help?
Who will support me?
At the end of this step you will have:
A plan to help you explore your options further (eg work experience, work shadowing or
more research); or
A plan which sets out the steps to help you achieve your next learning or work goal.
Decide which step is relevant for you right now and start from there.

CHAPTER – 2
RESEARCH METHODOLOGY
2.1 MEANING OF RESEARCH METHODOLOGY
Research methodology refers to those methods which are followed by a researcher in the study.
Researcher is an active, diligent and systematic process of inquiry aimed at discovering,
interpretation and revising facts. This intellectual investigation produces a greater knowledge of
events, behaviour, theories which makes practical application possible. The term research is
also used to describe an entire collection of information about a particular subject and is usually
associated with the output of science and the scientific method.
2.2 NEED OF THE STUDY
Every employee has the desire to grow and scale new heights in his work environment. If there
are enough opportunities, he can pursue his career goals and exploit his potential fully. He feels
highly motivated when the organization shows him a clear path as to how he can meet his
personal ambitions while trying to realize corporate goals. The need of the study is to study how
the organization put their career plans in place and educate employees about the opportunities
that exists internally for talented people.
2.3 OBLECTIVES OF THE STUDY
To measure the awareness level of employees regarding career planning
To determine whether career opportunities available within the organization match the
goals of the employee.
To know the satisfaction level regarding career development at all level in the
organization.
2.4 SCOPE OF THE STUDY
Career planning means helping the employees to plan their career in terms of their capacities
within the context of the organizations need. The scope of the present study has been restricted
to the employees of SJVNL Corporate office, Shimla.
19
2.5 RESEARCH DESIGN
A research design is the arrangement of conditions for collection and analysis of data in the
manner that aims to combile relevance to the research purpose with economy in procedure. In
fact, the research design is the conceptual; structure within which research is conducted. It
constitutes the blueprint for the collection, measurement and analysis of the data.
For current study descriptive research design will be followed.
In this study, I will take three decisions regarding research design process which includes:
Sample design
Data collection
Methods of analysis
2.6 SAMPLE DESIGN
A sample design is a definite plan for obtaining a sample from a given population. It refers to the
techniques or the procedures the researcher would adopt in selecting items for the sample. For
the study I would take decision regarding sample design which includes:
Sample unit
Sample size
Sampling technique
SAMPLE UNIT
The target population must be defining that needs to be sampled. It is necessary so as to
develop a sample frame so that everyone in the target population gets an equal chance of being
sampled. In this study the target population has been the employees of SJVNL, Shimla.
SAMPLE SIZE
Sample size refers to the number of items to be selected from the universe to constitute the
sample. An optimum sample is one which fulfills the requirement of efficiency,
representativeness, reliability and flexibility.
For the study sample size of 60 employees has been taken by random sampling.
20
SAMPLING TECHNIQUE
It refers to the techniques which are used in selecting the items for the sample. To achieve the
objective of my topic, I will use random sampling technique.
2.7 DATA COLLECTION
Data collection in the study will be both from primary and secondary sources.
PRIMARY DATA: It is the information collected directly without any references. In the study it
was mainly interviews with the concerned officers and staffs either individual or collective. Some
of the information had been verified or supplemented with personal observation. The data has
been collected through conducting the personal interview with the employees. In this study I
would use QUESTIONNAIRE method.
QUESTIONAAIRE: The questionnaire is the most common instrument to collect primary data. It
consists of a set of questions/. There are mainly two types of questionnaires. First is open end
and second is closed end.I would use close end technique.
SECONDARY DATA: It is defined as any data, which has been collected earlier for some
purpose. Indirect collection of data from sources containing past and recent information like
company brochures, annual reports, books etc. For current study we would use data from:
Journals, newspaper, and magazine.
Articles
Internet
Government Publication.
Website (SJVNL)
21
2.8 RESEARCH TOOLS
In this study, the data collected should be presented in tabular form and should be analyze, with
the help of following tool:
MATHEMATICAL TOOL:
Percentage method: This method will be used to draw specific inferences from the collected
data that will be to fulfill the objective of finding out the effectiveness of career planning in
SJVNL. The formulae is :
P = Q/R x100
P = Reading is %age
Q = number of respondents falling in a specific category to be measured.
2.9 LIMITATION OF THE STUDY
The primary data used for the present study is very time consuming.
The primary data obtained consists of personal biases of the respondents and even the
non-response factor was also observed.
To obtain secondary data which is sufficiently accurate and which exactly fits the need of
the study is difficult to find.
The data collected by using the questionnaires, involved uncertainty about the response
given by the respondent and hence the accuracy of the answers given is difficult to
presume.
The sample size of the research is limited to 60 executives.
