Abstract
Previously the authors reported on a study in which an attempt was made at defining and measuring the construct career resilience (Fourie & Van Vuuren, 1998). The present article continues this investigation by reporting on the relationship between career resilience and career anchors, as defined in Scheins (1975; 1978; 1990; 1992) career anchor model. The aim of the study was to determine whether career anchor patterning could potentially inhibit or facilitate individuals' levels of career resilience. The "Career Resilience Questionnaire" (CRQ) (Fourie & Van Vuuren, 1998) together with Scheins (1990) "Career Orientations Inventory" (COI) were administered to 352 skilled employees. The findings regarding the statistical relationship between the two constructs are discussed.
