Abstract

The authors investigate the preferences of some 2500 scientists and engineers for managerial and technical careers in 11 different organizations. Analyses reveal that educational background and age play a significant role in the shaping of individuals' preferences. Two distinctly different success orientations are uncovered. These orientations change very differently for technologists with and without PhDs. Results are reexamined but remain strong for different kinds of technical work.>
