Essence and function of career development
Abstract
The article outlines a concept of career development applicable in career counselling. Drawing on Kazimierz Twardowski’s theory of actions and products, the author proposes a model of development, distinguishing thereby development as an action and development as a product. Development as a product is a particular kind of behaviour which proves valuable on the labour market. The behaviour is accounted for in the framework of the subject’s actions and the source of the actions, i. e. a change in the state of the subject. To describe the change, the author puts forward a relational model of personal subjectivity. Relying on it, the author points out basic varieties of developmental change and discusses the principal function of development, i.e. preparing a person to cope with occupational problems abundant on the volatile labour market.

Perspectives of professional identity manifestation in the career vision of Lithuanian doctoral students
Abstract
This article presents diversity-related issues of professional identity in the career vision of Lithuanian doctoral students. It also analyses how doctoral students relate themselves to various professional roles: scholar, teacher and public service provider/practitioner. Results of the Lithuanian doctoral students’ survey are presented. Research sample – 494 doctoral students from 22 Lithuanian higher education institutions. The results have shown that the most expressed doctoral students’ professional role identity is that of a practitioner. Besides, doctoral students’ identification with professional roles is infl uenced by socio-demographic doctoral students’ characteristics.

Career profiles of immigrants in the modern career context: case of Lithuania
Abstract
This paper reports on fi ndings from a descriptive study of immigrants career profiles. A total of 71 respondents, highly skilled immigrants in Lithuania volunteered to fill in the survey. The research was based on protean (Hall, 1996) and boundaryless (Arthur, 1994) career theories. The results were analysed using descriptive statistics and correlation. A significant portion of immigrants have protean career profile which means that they are strongly self-directed in their career management process, they base their decision-making process on personal values and they are physically and psychologically boundaryless. The second most dominant career profile is solid citizen. These profile agents are strongly self-directed in career management, values driven and psychologically boundary less but they lack physical mobility.
