Jeff Beck, Joseph La Lopa, Amber Hu

• The objective of the current study was to adapt Schein's Career Anchor Inventory to the careers of faculty members of two-year and four year hospitality programs. A total of 337 questionnaires were returned for a response rate of 43%. The scales that are part of the Modified Career Anchors Inventory had reliability coefficients ranging from 0.70 to 0.88. The study findings indicate that a sense of service is the predominant career anchor for hospitality faculty, although they have different talents, values, and motivations. Furthermore, based on the results, this study presents a case for further research in the comparison of dominant and complementary career anchors.
