| Summary: | The specificities of general and special school teachers’ work might
influence their career differently. The aim of the study was to examine the
career cycle of these teachers. A survey was conducted on a sample of 120
teachers from general and 95 from special schools. Five stages of career
cycle were discovered: induction, competency building and enthusiasm, career
frustration, stagnation, career wind-down. Results indicate that age, gender,
intrinsic, and extrinsic factors of career choice can influence teachers’
career cycle. When these factors are controlled, special school teachers
experience less enthusiasm and more willingness to retire than general school
teachers. [Projekat Ministarstva nauke Republike Srbije, br. 47008: Improving
