CAREER PROFESSIONALIZATION, PERFORMANCE AND SUSTAINABILITY IN AN ORGANIZATION

Recruitment and integration at work are not enough if the organization "does not project a long-term development design for each of the employees", combining personal goals with those of the organization. Throughout his career, the employee undergoes several stages of development and professionalization. Starting from the professional development analysis in their own company, organizations face problems regarding the development and evolution of the employee's career. It is not wrong to make the statement that the responsibility is shared between the individual, as the main responsible person for their development, and the organization, which through individual careers' progress helps optimize organizational life, performance and sustainable development. The objective of the focus group research as investigation method was to outline the perception of the teaching staff in pre-university education in Dambovita on the “professionalization” model of the teaching career. The sample of the teaching staff in pre-university education, high school, on which the focus group research was conducted, was made up 9 teachers with different expertise, seniority and qualification levels in education so as to ensure representativity and lead to pertinent conclusions with regards to skills which teachers in pre-university education should have in order to practice the teaching profession.
