Creativity as a determinant of shaping the career path

Abstract

Planning a career path was until recently the operation of human resource management carried out by organizations, which becomes inadequate to meet the needs of the current situation on the labour market. The period of employment with the same employer has become significantly shorter now. The main reasons for this are two. On the one hand, organizations seeking to maintain flexibility do not establish long-term employment relationships, on the other – also employees increasingly want to accumulate rich professional experience and independently shape their own career path. The effectiveness of individual professional development planning depends largely on the ability of creative thinking, the ease of finding themselves in new situations, finding unconventional solutions and the courage to pursue them. Therefore, the aim of the article was to show what impact the creativity has on planning and development of career paths.
