Abstract
Increased globalization and rapid technological advances have greatly affected how careers are enacted. Many of today's workers are transitioning across the boundaries of occupations, organizations, and countries more frequently than previous generations of workers. Despite these great changes in the contemporary workplace, relatively little recent academic consideration has been devoted to the career transition (CT) construct or the commonalities in the decision-making process used by individuals to determine whether to make a CT. Given the many significant changes that have affected careers over the last several decades, the purpose of this paper is to offer a contemporary typology of CTs, a theory-driven model of the voluntary inter-role CT decision-making process, and propositions for future research. The proposed typology and model should also help people make better decisions about CTs.
期刊介绍:
The Human Resource Management Review (HRMR) is a quarterly academic journal dedicated to publishing scholarly conceptual and theoretical articles in the field of human resource management and related disciplines such as industrial/organizational psychology, human capital, labor relations, and organizational behavior. HRMR encourages manuscripts that address micro-, macro-, or multi-level phenomena concerning the function and processes of human resource management. The journal publishes articles that offer fresh insights to inspire future theory development and empirical research. Critical evaluations of existing concepts, theories, models, and frameworks are also encouraged, as well as quantitative meta-analytical reviews that contribute to conceptual and theoretical understanding.
Subject areas appropriate for HRMR include (but are not limited to) Strategic Human Resource Management, International Human Resource Management, the nature and role of the human resource function in organizations, any specific Human Resource function or activity (e.g., Job Analysis, Job Design, Workforce Planning, Recruitment, Selection and Placement, Performance and Talent Management, Reward Systems, Training, Development, Careers, Safety and Health, Diversity, Fairness, Discrimination, Employment Law, Employee Relations, Labor Relations, Workforce Metrics, HR Analytics, HRM and Technology, Social issues and HRM, Separation and Retention), topics that influence or are influenced by human resource management activities (e.g., Climate, Culture, Change, Leadership and Power, Groups and Teams, Employee Attitudes and Behavior, Individual, team, and/or Organizational Performance), and HRM Research Methods.
