Entrincheiramento na carreira: a visão de médicos e professores sobre suas trajetórias profissionais

Abstract

The present monograph deals with the theme of career entrenchment, based on the propositions of Carson et al. (1995), which consists of an occupational immobility due to the investments made, the emotional costs involved and the perception of lack of alternatives, dimensions that make a career change difficult. The objective is to verify the notion of doctors and teachers on the subject and to identify possible effects on the career trajectory. Regarding the methodology, the research is classified as qualitative and exploratory in nature; Qualitative research is a dynamic means of relating the real world and the subjectivity of the individual. As for the means used, a bibliographical and field survey was made. The treatment of the data made through the analysis of thematic content using as bibliographical reference the author Laurence Bardin. The instrument for the data collection was a semi-structured interview, performed with 04 professionals, who, 02 doctors and 02 teachers. The results showed that one of the participating professionals, a doctor, experiences the career entrenchment while the others are committed to the career and are not entrenched. It is suggested that the study may subsidize career decisions for individuals who have not yet chosen their career path. Finally, it is concluded that there is a lack of qualitative studies at the national level, with a view to better understanding, especially for careers considered as doctors and professors.
