The Changing Nature of Careers: A Review and Research Agenda
Sherry E. Sullivan
Bowling Green State University
This review analyzes how the changing nature of careers can be conceptualized by examining two major categories of careers research. Specifically, the developmental stage theories of Super (1957) and Levinson (1978, 1986, 1996) and the boundaryless career concept (Arthur & Rousseau, 1996) are used to assess our understanding of careers in todays dynamic work environment. Directions for future research on existing topics, as well as five major recommendations for a new research agenda, are offered.
