Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceeding › Chapter › peer-review

Abstract

This chapter reviews key constructs and defines terminology essential for understanding careers research as a field. The historical context and disciplinary positioning provide background for the identification of critical constructs, such as career success, and major frameworks, such as the Boundaryless and Protean career. Trends including the use of metaphors and the recent integration of other streams of research. Finally, matching methods to the construct under investigation is discussed as an important consideration in moving the field forward.
