TL;DR: In this article, the authors provide an in-depth review of the talent concept within the specific context of the world of work, and propose a framework for its conceptualization, and identify dynamics existing within and between them, as well as implications for talent management theory and practice.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors identify a number of discrepancies between practitioner and academic interest, between talent management discourse and practice, theoretical perspectives (i.e., talent as capital; talent as individual difference, talent as giftedness; talent in identity; talent strength; and talent as the perception of talent), tensions, and assumptions, which can serve as a basis for theory building, methodological advances, and new empirical work.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examined whether four different generations hold different beliefs about career, including Silent Generation, Baby Boomers, Generation X, and Generation Y, and found that the majority of participants still had rather traditional careers, although younger generations seemed to exhibit larger discrepancies between career preferences and actual career situation.

TL;DR: In this article, a multidimensional model of career success was developed aiming to be more inclusive than existing models, where 22 managers were asked to tell the story of their careers and at the end of each interview, idiosyncratic career success construct ladders were constructed for each interviewee through an interactive process with the interviewer.

TL;DR: In this paper, a review examines competing perspectives relating to (a) the range and prevalence of different theoretical approaches to the study of career success and (b) the need for a theoretically differentiated understanding of the antecedents of objective career success versus subjective career success.
