TL;DR: The protean career concept is a widely acknowledged contemporary career model, but conceptual and empirical analysis of the model is scarce as discussed by the authors, and they provide an integrative literature review of empirical research and note that the research is hampered by inconsistent use of terminology and methodological limitations.

TL;DR: In this article, a new conceptualization of the boundaryless career was developed to reflect its original description more fully than previous literature has done, and applied this conceptualization in an empirical investigation of career behavior and intentions of a large sample of European information technology (IT) professionals.

TL;DR: In this article, a large empirical study of IT professionals in the context of the Information Technology (IT) industry in Europe is presented, focusing on individuals and their careers, and taking into account more general perspectives, namely the organizational, industrial/professional and economic/societal levels, in order to provide a more encompassing view of individual careers.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors used sequence analysis to examine the relationship between career anchors (a concept of value-based career orientations widely used in career counseling and organizational career management), sociodemographic variables, and career trajectories of 377 Swiss managers over 15 years.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used OMA to identify six career patterns between the mid-1960s and the late 1990s for primary school teachers in the Swiss primary school system and found that teacher graduates whose mothers also worked as teachers follow a stable teacher career pattern less frequently than graduates whose parents were not teachers.
