Abstract
The main purpose of this chapter is to analyze how culture impacts the individual career management, especially considering the effects of culture on the individual in terms of career adaptability variables. Thus, it is intended to understand how culture dimensions impact career management. To achieve such goals and uncover the relationships described above, a survey was conducted for Portuguese and Brazilian people. The survey had the participation of a total of 311 respondents. The results confirm the positive relationship between the variables as expected: individualism, masculinity, power distance, and long-term orientation are positively correlated to career management, while uncertainty avoidance and indulgence are negatively correlated to career management. This research also contributes to shed light on the relation between culture and career, being important for the understanding of how organizations can promote workplaces tailored to everyone by understanding each worker's cultural background, as well as better strategize their career development.
