Career development management in Sabah Sports Board / Maniah Runggi @ Azwina

Leibowitz, Farren & Kaye, 1986; Lips-Wiersma & Hall, 2007 pointed out that Career
Development is a process where employees strategically explore, plan, and create their future
at work by designing a personal learning plan to achieve their potential and fullfil the
organization's learning, seeking opportunities, taking risks, and finding ways to contribute to
the organization in a productive and motivated fashion.
To achieve a balance between an individual’s career needs and the organization’s workforce
requirements, it involves an organized, formalized and planned effort. Organizations can
encourage employees to manage their own careers while employees need to follow through
with the responsibility of managing their own career development.
The organization can also promote more employees from within their company because they
have developed and easily identified their internal leaders. Career developments programs
provide opportunities for employees to thrive in their current job and at the same time
supplying the means to make either a horizontal or vertical career move possible.
