Career development of Geodetic Service Officers

Abstract

The relevance of this topic reflects the fact that individuals should understand the necessity of career change and the creation of individual portfolios. There is a universal understanding that the main characteristic of officers' career is vertical promotion. Officers' career is insufficiently investigated or researched, which includes a frequent change of jobs and assignments that are not related only to vertical career promotion. Both transfers and deployments of the Serbian Armed Forces Geodetic Service Officers (GSO), which are in scope of this paper, in regard to career accomplishment, represent the career matrix. The importance of research refers not only to officers' career, but it can be implemented for understanding and getting an insight into career development, in general, through the career matrix.
