Career Anchors//生涯志向

Definition//定義
To help people avoid these problems, Career Anchors help people uncover their real values and use them to make better career choices.
Career Anchors - include talents, motives, values and attitudes which give stability and direction to a person’s career – it is the ‘motivator’ or ‘driver’ of that person.
A career anchor is the one element in your self-concept that you will not give up, even in the face of difficult choices.
生涯志向幫助人們克服難題，發現自我真實價值並作出正確職業生涯選擇。
生涯志向包含天賦、潛在動力、價值及態度等構面；提供穩定及定向生涯之基礎；可以說是人生的激勵者及驅動者。
生涯志向是自我意識中即使面對困難抉擇也不輕言放棄的重要因子。

Notes//備註
去年協助指導的學生論文中，有位學生的論文就是研究Career Anchors。
在國內的論文中，Career Anchors都翻成生涯錨，實在是直譯的太LOCAL。
前幾天突然想到拿去問英文系的朋友，覺得翻的蠻好的。
在TAM3中也有使用到Anchors，在TAM3中翻譯成「意向」是比起翻成「錨」好的太多。在TAM3的論文目前還沒在國內大量產生前提出這種譯法，希望會有所幫助。
