Relação entre plano de carreira, motivação e retenção de colaboradores nas organizações: uma revisão narrativa da literatura

Abstract

In the current organizational context, characterized by dynamic and highly competitive environments, people management plays a strategic role, especially concerning career development, employee motivation, and talent retention. Organizations face growing challenges in attracting and retaining qualified professionals, with career planning emerging as a mechanism that can align individual expectations with institutional objectives. This study aimed to analyze the impact of career planning on employee motivation and retention within organizations. A narrative literature review was conducted, based on a careful selection of seven theoretical and empirical studies that directly or indirectly addressed the core constructs of this research. The analysis allowed the identification of three thematic categories: career planning as a strategic development tool; motivational factors involved in organizational dynamics; and organizational practices aimed at talent retention and loyalty. The results demonstrate that career planning is a relevant factor in structuring professional development and employee motivation; however, its effectiveness depends on its articulation with broader organizational practices such as recognition policies, work-life balance, transparent communication, and participatory leadership. It is concluded that the integration of career development, motivation, and retention practices contributes to the construction of sustainable organizational environments capable of promoting engagement and reducing employee turnover.
