RESULTS:Totally 210 questionnaires were sent out and 198 were effectively received,with effective recovery of 94.28%. Cronbach'α value of reliability and validity test was 0.939(>0.6),and KMO value was 0.905(close to 1). Results of survey showed that there was statistical significance in the effects of gender,age,marital status, work experience,professional title and position on career planning(P<0.05). There was statistical significance in the effects of age and professional title on satisfaction degree(P<0.05). Different dimensions of career planning(self-assessment,career awareness and action,position questions)were positively correlated with career satisfaction degree(total correlation coefficients were 0.649,0.633,0.694). CONCLUSIONS:Career planning is mainly influenced by gender,age,marital status,work experience,professional title and position.
