Abstract
Grit describes an individual’s tendency for passion and perseverance towards long-term goals and has been established as an indicator of achievement beyond talent and intelligence. A widely recognized belief is that indicators of professional and academic success extend beyond cognitive intelligence; for example, we know, anecdotally, that hard work and effort pay off. It has been established that any area of industries including teaching and learning requires the hard work of learning and practice for exacting a good result on teachers and students performances, making the need for perseverance necessary. This study quantitatively examined the relationship between grit and career development of technical instructors in Malaysia based on age, education level and years of services. The data for this research were obtained through structured questionnaire and involved 88 technical instructors from Malaysia Technical Institute. The study findings identified that grit: the power of passion and perseverance related to long lasting career development. More broadly, this study provides a qualitative and dimensional understanding of the phenomena of grit as related to career development.
