In the past, people believed a career was a sequence of promotions up an organizational ladder, but over time, this definition has changed to \"all of one’s work-related experiences\". The study aimed to examine teachers’ attitudes towards the term ‘career’ and the factors influencing their perception of mobility and stagnation in teaching. Via an open-ended questionnaire, 18 women teachers were asked about the definition of 'career' and the factors affecting its mobility and stagnation. Findings show that most teachers only see teaching as a career in the declarative sense of the word.  \nKeywords: career, empowerment, stagnation; mobility, teaching, principal-staff relations.  \nIntroduction  \nThe definition of a career has undergone many changes in the recent years. The main change is in the meaning that people attribute to this concept. In the past, people tended to give the concept a positive linear meaning, i.e. a sequence of promotions up a hierarchical organizational ladder. Expressions such as“have a career” meant a rapid rise up the ranks of an organization. It was used to refer to hierarchical professional advancement within prestigious professions. The problem with this meaning of the concept of career is that it fits a small group within an organization that, actually, rises up the ranks, and in a certain sense, this definition of career leaves advancement as the responsibility of the organization and does not allow the individual to manage his own career. Moreover, according to this traditional definition, most members of an organization have no \"career\", because they do not rise up the ranks (Vardi & Nadiv, 1994; Oplatka, 2010; Bar Haim, 1988) .  \nIn contrast, Arthur and Russo (1996) defined career as a continuous sequence of all experiences connected with work during one‟s life. Their definition allows for the inclusion of different styles of career such as moving from one position to another, temporary work and so forth. Similarly, Hall (2002) defined the concept of career as a \"sequence of personal positions and behaviors in a person‟s life that are linked to experiences and activities at work\" (Vardi & Nadiv, 1994) . It was  \nHall (2002) who coined the term \"Protean career\", in which the career is driven by the person and not by the organization. Individuals will be responsible for managing and constantly reinventing their own careers, taking into account the changes taking place around them, and may have several careers, either in sequence or in parallel. Current research claims that the term \"career\" is not  \n􀀍 Senior Lecturer, Ben Gurion University and Achva, Israel.  \n[https://doi.org/10.30958/aje.5-2-3](https://doi.org/10.30958/aje.5-2-3) doi=10.30958/aje.5-2-3  \nparallel to occupation, but rather a process that is unique to each and every person both in the professional sense and in daily life.  \nIn the old organizational world, the measure of a person‟s career success referred only to the advancement up the organizational hierarchy – vertical success. In contrast, in the modern era, career success can also be defined primarily in the psychological sphere. It is the sense of self-worth a person derives from the attainment of important life goals: personal achievement, happiness etc. The most significant aspect is subjective and internal rather than objective and external (Oplatka, 2010) .  \nIn light of the above, the term „career‟ may have four different interpretations:  \n1. Career as advancement – this interpretation claims that career is an upward climb within an organization or in a particular field. This does not necessarily mean that a person has to remain in the same field, but the aspiration is towards a senior position.  \n2. Career as a profession – this interpretation claims that not every occupation is a career.
