Abstract

New Zealand Maori are the indigenous people of New Zealand Aotearoa, a relatively small nation of 4 million people. The juxtaposition of Maori and European cultures presents an opportunity to contrast the highly spiritual nature of Maori culture with European traditions of linearity and rationality. This contrast can be especially appreciated in the consideration of career processes. The spiritual foundation of Maori culture provides quite a different outlook on the world. This different worldview provides another base for making career decision. This paper presents a brief examination of Maori culture in order to suggest how Maori integrate spiritual matters into careers. (Contains 14 references.)
