The rapid development of societies and the transformation of labour markets and organizationsrequires more dynamic careers nowadays. Thus, based on the career profiles described by Carson,Carson, Phillips and Roe (1996) and the association of career entrenchment and career satisfaction,we identified in this study, which career profiles currently exist. The cross-reference of data, withorganizational commitment, career commitment and turnover intention, allowed to characterize eachprofile and the factors that weigh on the decision to stay or change career, keeping or not a positiveattitude. We perform a cluster analysis using the K-means method, in a sample of 386 subjects. Theresults came across a new career profile, called transactional career, which might reflect that careersare currently more active and less stable. In the end, the results and the theoretical and practicalimplications are being discussed
