CAREERS IN THE NEXT MILLENNIUM - DIRECTIONS FOR FUTURE-RESEARCH

Researchers have tended to focus on idealized models of careers that n o longer accurately describe most workers (Arthur & Rousseau 1996; DeF illippi & Arthur 1996). The purpose of this article is to go beyond th ese models and examine careers in new ways. We suggest that the career patterns implemented by individuals will be influenced by two major f actors: (1) transferability of competencies and (2) level of internal work values. Based on this differentiation, we propose a model of care er types and examine the implications of this model for researchers, m anagers, and workers.
