“I Never Thought I’d Do This. It's So Empowering”
Stimulating adults to learn is a significant challenge, particularly for vulnerable groups with limited education, socioeconomic disadvantages, or marginalized backgrounds. While research highlights barriers and motivations for adult learning, less attention has been given to the transitions adults undergo and the factors shaping these processes. Based on 69 interviews with underrepresented learners in the Netherlands and informed by the capabili…
Disentangling Career Change Magnitude Through Expert Analysis
This article quantitatively assesses the magnitude of voluntary career changes through a conceptual typology based on a career and a work system theory, resulting in 68 distinct career change scenarios. Thirty professional Dutch career counselors participated in a Q-sorting study, with multidimensional scaling revealing two primary dimensions and four career change magnitude quadrants. The first dimension, termed “crossing of organizational socia…
Exploring card-sorting potential to uncover the interplay between adult learners’ motivations and barriers to (start to) learn
Conditions for successful adult learning systems at local level
Adults must continually learn to navigate the challenges of society and the job market. This lifelong learning is vital, particularly for vulnerable adults, and should be fostered in their living and working environment. In this article, we present a literature review exploring the conditions of conducive learning environments at meso-level, being the socio-spatial learning infrastructure constituted by learning providers, policies and interventi…
Stay or Leave? The Role of Career Adaptability and Organizational Embeddedness for Turnover Intentions
The purpose of this article is to investigate the relationship between career adaptability (CA) and organizational embeddedness (OE) and organizational and occupational turnover intention among employees in the Netherlands. Logistic regression analysis was utilized to examine survey data obtained from 173 employees with various occupations, who worked for (semi-)public and private organizations in the Netherlands. The variable measuring CA did no…
Disengaging Leadership Scale (DLS)
The main goal of this study was to develop a scale for measuring Disengaging Leader-ship (DEL) behaviors and to provide preliminary evidence for the validity of this new instrument. Developing such new measures is needed given current concepts that tap into negative leadership behaviors are rarely based on a sound theoretical framework. Drawing on the core premises of Self-Determination Theory (SDT) regarding employees' basic needs and, more spec…
Career challenges in smart cities
Smart cities are a modern reality in an increasingly digitized and fast changing world; and, as multidimensional, multilayered and interconnected career ecosystems they bring a number of challenges for the development of sustainable careers. What are the systemic roots of these challenges, and how can we deal with them to support the emergence of sustainable careers? We draw on a sociotechnical approach, supplemented by a dynamic person–environme…
