无边界职业生涯研究:二十年回顾与展望

当今社会个体职业生涯发展与管理的背景发生了巨大变化,无边界职业生涯应运而生,它指一种不限于单一雇佣范围的一系列就业机会的职业路径。文章在介绍概念及发展历程的基础上,综述了影响无边界职业生涯的四类因素,并指出以往研究在概念、发展现状、维度和影响广度等方面存在的争议。未来应该针对当前争议有目的地展开研究,界定更加清晰的概念,扩展对无边界职业生涯类型的研究,以及这种流动环境在更深层上对个体以及组织的影响。     

职业生涯成功及其标准的研究综述

职业生涯成功及成功标准是组织和员工都关心的问题，也是职业生涯管理研究领域的一个新主题。文章介绍了西方学术界关于职业生涯成功和标准的研究历史和现有成果，总结国内关于职业生涯成功的研究现状，提出了现有研究中存在的问题并对今后研究作出展望。     

职业生涯模型、测量及相关研究

胜任特征被视为个体在快速变化的现代社会中获得生涯成功的关键能力,是近年来国内外工业与组织心理学领域的一个新焦点。这篇文章回顾了胜任特征提出的背景,阐述了胜任特征与胜任特征模型的含义,与大五人格概念之间的异同,以及胜任特征与职业成功、组织承诺、感知到的职业生涯管理、工作满意度之间的关系机制。最后,对胜任特征现今存在的一些问题进行了陈述,并指明了未来研究的方向。     

无边界职业生涯取向与青年员工职业成功：职业胜任力的中介作用

基于职业成功的胜任力模型,探讨无边界职业生涯取向与青年员工职业成功的关系。采用两阶段（two-wave）问卷调查法,以385名35岁以下的年轻员工为样本进行研究。结果表明,无边界思维模式与青年员工的主观职业成功、客观职业成功均显著地正相关,职业胜任力在其中起完全中介作用;组织流动性偏好与青年员工的主观职业成功、客观职业成功均显著地负相关,职业胜任力在其中起中介作用。研究证实了无边界职业生涯取向对青年员工职业成功的“双刃剑”效应,为青年员工的职业生涯管理提供了重要启示。     

职业生涯高原研究述评

职业生涯高原（career plateau）是指个体在当前组织中的一种职业生涯状态,其概念最早由Ference等（1977）从组织职业生涯管理的角度提出。研究发现,职业生涯高原与一些重要的效果变量有比较显著的关系,比如情感承诺、缺勤、心理倦怠等。本文从职业生涯高原的概念、结构、影响因素、影响效果、应对策略等方面简述了西方研究者在此领域的研究情况,并指出了目前存在的内涵过窄、缺乏过程性研究等问题及今后努力的方向。     

生涯适应力和员工离职意向的关系：职业生涯成功的作用

为了探讨生涯适应力对员工离职意向的作用机制,通过分析193名企业员工的问卷,采用Bootstrap法进行中介和调节分析,并采用Johnson-Neyman 法对职业满意度的调节效应进行量化分析。结果表明：（1）生涯适应力通过感知到的组织内职业竞争力负向作用离职意向,通过感知到的组织外职业竞争力正向作用离职意向;（2）职业满意度（主观生涯适应力）调节生涯适应力对离职意向的直接和间接影响。当职业满意度达到中等及以上水平时,生涯适应力的增大会直接减少离职意向,但间接的通过感知到的组织外职业竞争力增加离职意向。因此,提高员工的生涯适应力和职业满意度只能在一定程度上减少离职意向。     

国内外职涯资本的研究述评与展望

埃森哲调查显示,全球89%的员工认为职涯资本是职场成功的关键,但职涯资本的相关研究却刚起步。本文从职涯资本（Career Capital）的内涵入手,梳理了职涯资本的定义及理论模型,并整理了相关维度的划分。然后,笔者从跨文化管理、职涯资本三维度重要性、职涯资本的前因变量和结果变量角度对相关研究进行整理。最后,针对目前研究的不足,本文提出未来研究的方向和管理实践中的应用建议,希冀对职业生涯管理的理论研究和实践提供新思路。     

无边界职业生涯下职业成功的诱因与机制

职业成功(career success)作为职业生涯研究领域的一个前沿主题, 受到了理论界和实务界的广泛关注。研究主要从职业成功的概念、测量、影响因素、实施效果与作用机制等方面, 对国内外相关研究进行了系统梳理与探讨。未来研究应关注无边界职业生涯时代职业成功、开发中国组织情境下职业成功的概念和测量、基于特质激发理论视角分析职业成功的诱因、基于职业成功观分析职业成功的实施效果、探讨中国本土文化的权变作用。

企业员工自我职业生涯管理的结构及关系

在文献研究的基础上 ,通过访谈、开放式问卷等方法 ,确立了企业员工自我职业生涯管理的结构。根据该结构 ,结合问卷及访谈所搜集的自我职业生涯管理活动 ,编制了自我职业生涯管理问卷 (简称ICMQ)。该问卷在177名被试中进行了初步调查 ,结果发现 :尽管该结构主体结构得到了证实 ,但有些方面如职业生涯发展策略比较混乱。在此基础上 ,修订问卷 ,重新选取 13家企业的中低层管理者及技术人员、文职人员进行了测试 ,获得了 4 4 9份有效问卷 ,对问卷的探索性因素分析结果表明 :该问卷是个五因素的结构 ,这 5个因素是职业探索、职业目标和策略确立、继续学习、自我展示和注重关系。为了进一步验证自我职业生涯管理问卷的结构效度 ,并获得问卷的信度和效度指标 ,研究选取了 11家企业进行了调查 ,获得了 399份有效问卷。验证性因素分析结果表明 :自我职业生涯管理是个并列的 5因素结构     

Personality Factors Explaining Career Success for Soldiers: An Analytical Review

In this regard the article focuses on general personality characteristics (like locus of control, ego power, etc.) and specific personality characteristics for pilots and divers as an example to explain career success with the person-environment fit model as moderator, in the military.     

The Protean Therapist

SUMMARY

The subject of the following article is the protean journey therapists make as they adapt to changing situations and challenges in their own lives and the ultimate impact it has on their clinical work with patients. I have used the example of my own life, in which certain critical events have transformed me from a person with a rather ordinary perspective to someone who has come to appreciate the fragile nature of life with its rich tapestry of complicated ties and patterns. I have tried to demonstrate that significant events in my life and my personal development over the past thirty years have furthered my appreciation and treatment of my patients. I have also come to recognize that my patients' particular journeys, on which I have accompanied them, have similarly contributed to and enriched my life in myriad ways.     

Professionals' Use of Different Mentor Sources at Various Career Stages: Implications for Career Success

Abstract

The authors investigated the various sources of mentors used by professionals, how these sources influenced both objective and subjective career success, and whether the participants used different sources of mentors at different stages of their careers. According to data from 430 faculty members at 2 U.S. research institutions, assistant professors with mentors in their professions, associate professors with mentors outside the work place, and professors with mentors within their organizations had the highest levels of objective career success. Assistant professors with multiple sources of mentors yielded significantly higher levels of both objective and subjective career success than did those with single sources or no mentor. If one links professorial rank to career stage, the results suggest that the participants used different sources of mentors at different stages of their careers.     

Exploring the Perceived Career Success of Staff in a South African Science and Engineering Company

This study explored the core themes underlying individuals’ perceptions of their career success with the view to inform retention practices. The participants were a convenience sample of 207 employees (63% Blacks; 60% males) within a South African science and engineering company. Data were gathered by using a quantitative survey approach and posing an open-ended question to the participants regarding their perceived career success. The data were thematically analysed by using the Atlas.ti version 6 computer-aided qualitative data analysis software. Findings suggest that self-perceptions of career success are multifaceted, including learning and development; skills, experience and competence; career transitions and advancement; job content; contributing to a larger community; goal achievement; helping others; rewards and recognition; and work-life balance. Individuals’ inner definitions of career success could inform retention strategies in the science and engineering field focused on their career development, career wellbeing and satisfaction.     

Job Characteristics That Influence the Career Success of Soldiers in the South African National Defence Force: An Analytical Review

Career success for solders is influenced by objective and subjective job qualities including their antecedents and mediators. This article considers the objective and subjective indicators of career success in the context of the South African National Defence Force (SANDF): achievement, satisfaction, mobility, organizational commitment and retention. Objective determinants of career success include the qualities of the physical environment, physical job demands on effort, typical job demands, role conflict and subjective occupational hazards and the organisational culture of the military. The subjective determinants that impact career success are psychological in nature, such as value conflict, job security and psychological contact. Outcomes for individuals vary as mediated by organizational culture, gender, period of service and education.     

Protean and boundaryless careers: An empirical exploration

While the constructs of protean and boundaryless careers have informed career theory for years, rigorous empirical examinations of these career models have lagged behind. This study seeks to redress this situation by constructing and developing four new scales to measure protean and boundaryless career attitudes. The scales related to protean career attitudes measure self-directed career management and values-driven predispositions. The scales related to boundaryless career attitudes measure boundaryless mindset and organizational mobility preference. The initial validation of these scales, consisting of three studies, demonstrates their reliability and validity.
