Abstract: This research aims to investigate the impact of career anchors on Human Resource Development. The questionnaires of Schein (2006) and Faghihipour and Haghgou (2016) were employed to evaluate career anchors, and HRD, respectively. The research population included all 200 employees of the Customs Department of Ardebil Province. The sample size was determined, using Krejcie and Morgan table, as 127, selected through non-random sampling method. Data analysis was done on LISREL, and structural equation modelling was used to analyse the hypotheses. The results showed that different aspects of career anchors such as managerial competence, security, entrepreneurial creativity, autonomy and independence, service and dedication, pure challenge, and lifestyle had a significant positive effect on HRD.
