Careers in cities: An interdisciplinary space for advancing the contextual turn in career studies
With careers increasingly taking place within and between cities, this article maps the territory for research and theory on careers in cities. Cities present a microcosm for advancing a systemic understanding of people’s careers over time and in relation to broader issues. We acknowledge cities’ multilayered contexts by identifying six spheres—locality and networks, material infrastructure, economic activities, non-work, virtual reconfiguration,…
Work–family interface in the context of career success: A qualitative inquiry
Work–family researchers are increasingly recognizing the need to expand their focus to advance the field. One population largely neglected by work–family researchers is individuals who have been extremely successful in their careers. In addition, organizational career scholars have largely neglected the interplay between employees’ work and family lives. This study contributes to the work–family literature by studying work–family interface (WFI) …
Interdisciplinary approaches to contemporary career studies
This is the opening article in a Human Relations special issue on ‘Interdisciplinary approaches to contemporary career studies’. After introducing a story of an ‘exceptional — but real’ career, we argue for an urgent shift toward greater interdisciplinary inquiry. We reflect on the story to describe differences in the way each of psychology, sociology, social psychology, and economics views the concept of career. We turn to explore what career re…
New directions for boundaryless careers: Agency and interdependence in a changing world
This paper reconnects to the intellectual climate from which the formulation of the boundaryless career perspective emerged in the 1990s. Based on 17 years of cumulative research, we develop the case for extending beyond a primary focus on boundaryless careers as forms (e.g., contractor or global itinerant). We argue that opportunities for further theory development in this field can emerge from addressing some of its fundamental debates, and dev…
Examining contemporary careers: A call for interdisciplinary inquiry
This article describes an urgent need for interdisciplinary careers research in the emerging global knowledge economy. It begins by identifying a range of traditions in careers research, including both occupational and organizational research traditions from professional schools of education and management. It proceeds by offering a view on contemporary careers, and examining three directions for contemporary careers research — reflecting what or…
The evolution of the boundaryless career concept: Examining physical and psychological mobility
Career success in a boundaryless career world
This paper compares contemporary career theory with the theory applied in recent career success research. The research makes inconsistent use of career theory, and in particular neglects the interdependence of the objective and subjective careers, and ‘boundaryless career’ issues of inter‐organizational mobility and extra‐organizational support. The paper offers new guidelines for bringing about a rapprochement between career theory and career su…
Career communities: A preliminary exploration of member‐defined career support structures
This paper explores the concept of career communities: social structures that provide career support and frequently transcend the boundaries of any single organization. The theoretical background notes the convergence of a number of different perspectives from both career development and organization studies, pertaining to the social contextualization of careers. The methodology involved eliciting expressions of the (individual) subjective career…

The New Careers: Individual Action and Economic Change
Working from the basis that individuals are now much more mobile in their careers than during the more stable conditions of previous eras, this book examines and predicts new patterns of career development into the 21st century
Paradox in Project-Based Enterprise: The Case of Film Making
The creation of temporary enterprises for project-based work has become an increasingly salient feature of the new economy. These project-based enterprises challenge several tenets of strategic management theory. Film making has a long tradition of project-based organizing. This article presents an intensive case study of a big-budget motion picture project which provides the context for identifying some paradoxical attributes of project-based en…

The boundaryless career: A new perspective for organizational inquiry
The boundaryless career: A competency‐based perspective
This paper proposes a competency‐based view of careers, derived from competency‐based models of employer firms. The implications for boundaryless careers are explored by reference to changing organizational, occupational and industry community contexts. All of these contexts are seen as likely to promote boundaryless career behaviors. Future research possibilities for each of three career competencies, and for interdependence among the competenci…
The Motivational Effects of Charismatic Leadership: A Self-Concept Based Theory
The empirical literature on charismatic or transformational leadership demonstrates that such leadership has profound effects on followers. However, while several versions of charismatic leadership theory predict such effects, none of them explains the process by which these effects are achieved. In this paper we seek to advance leadership theory by addressing this fundamental problem. We offer a self-concept based motivational theory to explain …
Predictors of willingness to relocate for managerial and professional employees
This study explored possible determinants, both inside and outside the job sphere, of willingness to relocate. Data were collected from a large sample of managerial and professional employees in one organization. Unlike previous research, this study investigated willingness to relocate for three different purposes: (1) for a better job or career development; (2) to help the organization; or (3) to remain employed. However, only two factors of wil…

The relationships between career concerns and political tactics in organizations
The study examined the relationships between four career concerns (Personal Success, Organizational Involvement, Skill Development and Autonomy) and two categories of political tactics in organizations (Hierarchical Tactics and Networking Tactics) in a sample of management school alumni. Career concerns were not related to the employment of hierarchical tactics but were strongly related to the use of networking tactics. ‘External’ career concerns…

The choral odes of the Bacchae of Euripides
I n the Bacchae , the last work of his old age, Euripides reverted to a more archaic, more conventional, more Aeschylean type of drama. The conventional treatment of the chorus in this play is particularly remarkable; for the Euripidean choral odes had shown a tendency to become detached from the main concerns of the drama, to verge on becoming the ἐμβόλιμα associated with the successors of Sophocles and Euripides. But in the Bacchae , the struct…
