He analyzed 44 MBA students as they started their careers out of graduate school, and he found that these students tended to be driven by one of five things: {1) Managerial competence; (2) Technical- functional competence; (3) Security; (4) Creativity; and (5) Autonomy and independence. Schein called these motivators "career anchors\" and suggested that the career anchor that was most important to a person would shape that person's career. In other words, if the managerial competence anchor was most important to you, you would sesk out jobs that allowed vou to rise up in an organization, while if your pnmary career anchor was technical-functional competence, you would try to become good at a particular type of work (for example, accounting) without being driven by the need to be @ manager. In Schein's later research, he noted that there were eight career anchors: the five mentioned above, plus (6) Sense of service; (7) Pure challenge; and (8) Freedom to organize oneself around one's private life.
