| dc.description | The focus of this study is to gain a deeper understanding of the impact of Dual Career Paths to employee careers. The particular case taken is that of the Bank of Tanzania, at Headquarters Dar es Salaam which is the country’s Central Bank. Many technical professionals in today’s organisations are considered undervalued because they do not always occupy management positions which tend to be associated with success in individuals careers. But the skills and abilities that make an outstanding manager may be very different from the skills and abilities that make a distinguished specialist. In addition large organisations are facing challenges in balancing the (workload of administrative roles and that of being highly responsive to the technical expertise through research and coaching.) A need for creating a better option to overcome such challenges has become inevitable with increasing work complexities and the development of modern performance management systems. Dual career paths are said to exist where professionals are given a choice at a certain point in terms of their career development. This choice is for two equivalent career progressions, one to recognise managerial contributions and the other to recognise technical contributions. The study sought to examine the impact that a Dual Career path will bring to employee’s careers. The examining of such impact is through identifying the challenges brought about by the traditional vertical career structure; and the assessment of the extent to which dual career path will enable resolving the identified challenges and being beneficial to employees talent management and increasing organisational performance & ultimately productivity. Findings from the study reveal that a Dual Career path has a positive impact to the employee’s careers when applied in the organisation. The key point lies in the choice of a career that an employee should pursue when this system is used. The argument is based on the fact that at some point in the structure an employee is provided with a choice either to advance as a purely technical contributor (technical path) or advance to managerial role which are mostly administrative in nature (Administrative | |
