Follow that dream : a study of men in midlife

This study examined the impact of midlife on career, and on relationships with self and others. I recruited two contrasting groups of men, with ST and NF preferences, identifying participants through professional networks unit I had ten for each group. Regardless of type, a majority of the men reported a greater sense of life mastery in midlife, and felt empowered by the variety of lifestyle options they now had. Many also identified career mastery as a key factor, but the two groups reported career mastery in different ways. Both groups indicated that generativity was important in their career mastery, expressing a desire to pass on their acquired knowledge and wisdom to others in the workplace.
