AbstractMany changes in the socioeconomic scenario led to the emergence of different models of career guidance, among which the protean career stands out. This model works with the prospect of a career that is self-directed and aligned with personal values, with important propositions for both professionals and students entering the work market. In the Brazilian scenario, however, there is a lack of appropriate measures to evaluate protean aspects among college students without work experience. Thus, the present study aimed at adapting and validating the attitudes towards the Protean Career Scale to this population. The sample consisted of 902 students aging from 18 to 30 years old (M = 22.52; SD = 6.53) attending 34 different undergraduate courses. Exploratory and confirmatory analysis attested the two-dimensional nature of the scale structure. The reliability indexes were satisfactory: over .65. The correlation between the protean models and factors such as personality, values, and locus of control provided adequate evidence of the measure’s predictive validity (p < .05).

Abstract Michael Arthur und Douglas Hall haben mit ihren Thesen zur boundaryless und zur protean career eine Debatte über einen Wandel des für westliche Industriegesellschaften typischen Karrieremusters postuliert, und zwar eine Umstellung von der Organisation und des in ihr und von ihr institutionalisierten Karrieremusters der sogenannten ,Kaminkarriere’ auf den einzelnen Erwerbstätigen und seine individuellen Strukturierungs- und Selbst-Managementleistungen. Der hier vorliegende Beitrag vertritt die These, dass hier die Rolle der Organisation für Karrieren zu stark heruntergespielt und zu wenig nach dem Verhältnis von organisationalem und individuellem Karrieremanagement gefragt wird. Der Beitrag macht deshalb einen differenzierenden Vorschlag zur Analyse eines Formwandels von Karriere.

Boundaryless Work

Recent literature documents the demise of traditional linear careers and the rise of protean, boundaryless, or portfolio careers, typified by do-it-yourself career management and finding security in ongoing employability rather than ongoing employment. This article identifies key attributes of the ‘new career’, arguing that individuals with careers in the well-established fields of fine and performing arts often fit into the ‘new careerist’ model. Employment/career data for professional fine artists, performing artists and musicians in Australia is presented to support this claim. A discussion of the meta-competencies and career-life management skills essential to navigate the boundaryless work world is presented, with specific reference to Australian artists, and recommendations for future research.

Career Competencies

Previous research on protean and boundaryless careers has been variable centred, testing the outcomes of the dimensions of protean and boundaryless careers separately. Following the career typology of Briscoe and Hall (2006), this study aimed to explore the combined effect of protean (self-directedness and values orientation) and boundaryless (psychological and physical mobility) career dimensions on various career competencies, including identity awareness, adaptability, career planning, proactive job search behaviour, and external networking behaviour. Using cluster analysis with a sample of 285 professionals and mid-level managers, five of the eight career profiles in Briscoe and Hall’s (2006) typology emerged: protean career architect, hired gun, solid citizen, the wanderer, and trapped/lost. Results showed that the most positive career competencies were associated with protean career architect. Additionally, it was found that higher levels of self-directed career management and psychological and physical mobility were not sufficient to enhance identity awareness when the values-driven orientation was lower.

Considering the requirements for professional qualification, attributing to the own individual the responsibility for the management of his career, this study aimed to understand how the attitudes of career maturity of this individual are associated to the contemporary conceptions of the borderless career and protean career. For this purpose, it was performed a survey with university students from two private universities, located in the cities of São Paulo – SP and Salvador – BA. Data were statistically analyzed through multivariate tests, using the SPSS (Statistical Package for Social Sciences) software version 15.0, and the confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) with structural equation modeling (SEM), through Smart software PLS 2.0 M3. The results from this study highlighted that, the more the person matures in relation to his career, having attitudes of planning and exploitation of career, more attitudes related to conceptions of protean career and borderless career may be adopted by them. Besides the theoretical contribution for better clarification of contemporary concepts of protean and borderless career, this study encouraged the development of career orientation programs.
