This study was a longitudinal research including 6-8year follow-up periods that attempted to clarify the factors affecting the career development of male care workers working in nursing homes. This study carried out semi-structured interviews and analyzed with the Grounded Theory methodology. As a result, it was revealed that many care workers developed their career through experience of other departments (counselors, care manager, etc.) or other job experience and qualifications. On the other hand, the carrier support of the individuals is limited to regular training and getting qualifications in their workplace. In addition, job consciousness of people who responded that there are mentors and role models has been relatively stable, and they were satisfied with the career of their own.
