Research Purpose:
The purpose of this research is to explore in what ways industrial contactors are motivated to remain at their organizations after several weeks of work within the organization as compared to their expectations about the organization and their career goals.
A secondary purpose is to help determine if the worker's expectations for the organization and their goals for themselves and their careers align with the organization’s goals for their employees and career development. This study was performed to determine: (a) challenges faced by new employees to organizations among contractors who support the energy industry, (b) how these new employees deal with those challenges over their first three months of work, and (c) how the concepts of "fit" theory apply to these employees, the contracting organizations and the above challenges.
Research Questions:
R1. How do the participants express their career goals and expectations for their positions within the organizations at the time of their being hired?
R2. How do the participants express their lived experiences about their first three months of working within their new organizations especially regarding fit theory?
Methodology: Case Study
