Abstract

The study structures and tests a four-dimensional structure model of career growth, and develops a measurement scale of career growth. Based on the reviewing and generalizing of the correlated literature, it analyzes the links and differences between career growth and other related concepts. The original data is acquired through interviews and semi-structured questionnaire. By reference to the related research scales, the initial career growth scale is made through several steps, including cataloguing, summarizing and revising. The formal scale is constructed through the research methods of the items analysis, exploratory factor test and so forth. Confirmatory factor analysis approach is adopted to verify the four- dimensional structure model of career growth. The results indicate that career growth is a four-dimension concept, including career goal progress, professional ability development, promotion speed and remuneration growth. Two directions for the future researches of career growth theory are put forward.
