An upward move to another industry was less important for the self-employed compared to first line supervisors and middle management (F=4.14, p<.01). Finally, a move toward consulting was a more important career outcome for the self-employed in comparison to senior management (F=2.7, p<.05).
MBA Results
For this sample, the MBA was perceived to have the greatest instrumental value for moving into the consulting field and for upward career moves in related organizations or to another field. Additional analysis of these instrumentality dimensions revealed significant differences based on current position level, specifically between the self-employed and the rest of the sample. For example, in comparison to first line supervisors or senior management, the self-employed did not view the MBA as instrumental for a promotion or upward career progression.
