TL;DR: In this paper, a review analyzes how the changing nature of careers can be conceptualized by examining two major categories of careers research, namely, the developmental stage theories of Super (1957) and Levinson (1978, 1986, 1996) and the boundaryless career concept (Arthur & Rousseau, 1996).

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors critically examine the nature of contemporary careers and the direction in which careers research has developed over the past decade, including the protean and boundaryless career frameworks, as well as the next generation of career concepts, including integrative frameworks, hybrid careers, and the kaleidoscope career model.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examine the boundaryless career and present a model that attempts to visually capture Arthur and Rousseau's suggestion that the concept involves six underlying meanings, and suggest five propositions and a series of directions for future research.

TL;DR: In this article, an alternative explanation of the kaleidoscope career model that fits workers' concerns for authenticity, balance, and challenge, vis-a-vis the demands of their careers in this new millennium is presented.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors suggest that because of environmental changes, the traditional model of professors being guided throughout their careers by one primary mentor, usually the dissertation advisor, may no longer be realistic or desirable.
