  • Is Work Still a Right if it has Become a Norm? Disability Inclusion in Labor Market Policy Discourse

    Open AccessAndries Baeken, Anneleen Forrier et al.ARTICLEJournal of Business Ethics2025

    Policy motives for work for people with a disability (PWD) are divergent along two discourses: work as a right vs norm. Work as a right, based on the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (UNCRPD), portrays work as a potential gateway for inclusion. Work as a norm fits a neoliberal agenda. It considers labor market participation of all, including PWD, as a civil responsibility crucial for economic welfare. Critics argue that th…

  • A street-level bureaucrat discourse on activation of migrant women

    Open AccessAnnelies Scheers, Anneleen Forrier et al.ARTICLEJournal of European Social Policy2025References: 16

    This study aligns with postcolonial feminist critiques of emancipation discourse embedded in activation policies targeting migrant women. It highlights how such discourse disregards the systemic barriers these women face when (re)entering the labour market. Through critical discourse analysis, we investigate how street-level bureaucrats (SLBs) interact with emancipation discourse during policy implementation. By conducting an ethnographic study o…

  • What if we abandon the concept of career proactivity to move research forward

    Open AccessAnneleen ForrierARTICLEApplied Psychology2023

    The idea that individuals need to be proactive to successfully manage their career is predominant in current career research. Despite the great importance attached to career proactivity, the literature on the topic remains fragmented. I thus highly welcome the comprehensive literature review Career proactivity: A bibliometric literature review and future research agenda . The authors conduct a thorough and rigorous bibliometric analysis to uncove…

  • Graduation is not the end, it is just the beginning

    Open AccessIlke Grosemans, Nele De Cuyper et al.ARTICLEJournal of Vocational Behavior2023

    Graduate employability has attracted considerable attention, unsurprisingly so: The transition associated with graduation presents a series of strong events, that is likely to produce change in employability. We focus on perceived employability (i.e., the individual's appraisal of available employment opportunities). Change in perceived employability in the transition after graduation is sometimes hinted at, yet seldom tested: Positive change is …

  • Job seekers’ search intensity and wage flexibility

    Open AccessAN DE COEN, Anneleen Forrier et al.ARTICLEAgeing and Society2015References: 38

    Although studies on job search implicitly presume that relationships between antecedents and indicators of job search are similar for job seekers from different ages, few studies have tested this assumption even though lifespan theories state that individual motives and behaviour significantly change as people age. From this theoretical perspective, we examine how age moderates the relationships between re-employment efficacy, employment commitme…

  • Career Sidestep, Wage Setback? The Impact of Different Types of Employment Interruptions on Wages

    Open AccessGert Theunissen, Marijke Verbruggen et al.ARTICLEGender Work and Organization2009Cited by: 8References: 5

    We examined the wage implications of different types of wage employment interruptions in a sample of 44,384 Belgian employees. The employment interruption types included are family leave, unemployment, self‐employment, educational leave and a category other interruptions (for example, travel, voluntary work). We conduct separate analyses for men and women. Results indicate that unemployment spells and family breaks are penalized by lower subseque…

  • The concept employability

    Anneleen Forrier, Luc SelsARTICLEInternational Journal of Human…2003

    Since lifetime employment within the same organisation is no longer a prerogative for all, job security has to be safeguarded differently. In this respect, ‘lifetime employability ’ instead of ‘lifetime employment ’ is often put forward as the new protection in the labour market. Although employability became a buzzword in organisational literature, no clear consensus about its meaning and measurement can be found. In this paper, we bring some cl…

  • Temporary Employment and Employability

    Open AccessAnneleen Forrier, Luc SelsARTICLEWork Employment and Society2003Cited by: 25References: 17

    Lifetime employability' is often put forward as an alternative to lifetime employment with the same employer. At first sight, temporary employment relations and employability go hand in hand. Temporary employment is less dramatic when it is linked to a higher employability. Opponents, however, claim that temporary employment and employability are at odds. They argue that both employers and temporary employees may be faced with dilemmas relating t…
