Abstract
Describes career‐related experiences of over 1,000 graduates in the
first few years of their careers in eight organizations, along with the
perceptions of their bosses. Long‐term career prospects were an
important factor in graduates′ decisions to join their organization, but
the degree of importance varied substantially between organizations.
Subsequent to joining, most graduates experienced low Career Clarity:
that is, they found it difficult to identify short‐term and long‐term
career possibilities in their organization. This eroded their
organizational commitment. Graduates perceived a moderate amount of
support from organizational systems for their career development, but
also considerable barriers which they could not control. Their bosses
had significantly more positive views of graduate career opportunities
in the organization than the graduates. A case study of one organization
illustrates some issues in managing graduate careers.
