Abstract
The conceptualization of work and careers has evolved with technological advancements. From the steam engine to the internet, and now to digital technologies like AI and robotics, each era has redefined employment. These innovations offer safer, more meaningful work and broaden access. However, they also bring challenges such as the need for new skills and constant adaptation. This special issue includes nine papers exploring themes like lifelong learning, access to work, human agency, and ethical dimensions. The research highlights the need for continuous skill development, equitable access, and informed policy-making to harness the benefits of technology while mitigating its risks.
期刊介绍：
The Journal of Vocational Behavior publishes original empirical and theoretical articles offering unique insights into the realms of career choice, career development, and work adjustment across the lifespan. These contributions are not only valuable for academic exploration but also find applications in counseling and career development programs across diverse sectors such as colleges, universities, business, industry, government, and the military.
The primary focus of the journal centers on individual decision-making regarding work and careers, prioritizing investigations into personal career choices rather than organizational or employer-level variables. Example topics encompass a broad range, from initial career choices (e.g., choice of major, initial work or organization selection, organizational attraction) to the development of a career, work transitions, work-family management, and attitudes within the workplace (such as work commitment, multiple role management, and turnover).
