Abstract
The boundaryless career could be a bane or boon to people's experience of psychological success. This paper describes the contours of the bo undaryless career and then looks at how workers will have to deal with aging over several career cycles, integrate diverse experiences into their identities, and come to terms with new types of employer-employe e relationships. This introduces the idea of finding psychological suc cess in one's life work, encompassing not only a job and an organizati on, but also work as a spouse, parent, community member, and as a self -developer.
