The Routledge Companion to Career Studies is an in-depth reference
for researchers, students, and practitioners looking for a
comprehensive overview of the state of the art of career studies.
Split into five parts, the volume looks at major areas of research
within career studies and reflects on the latest developments in
the areas of theory, empirical studies, and methodology. The book's
five parts cover (1) major theoretical and methodological debates
and approaches to studying careers; (2) careers as dynamic, ongoing
processes covering such issues as time, shaping careers, career
outcomes and patterns, and the forces shaping careers; (3) the
local, national, and global context of careers, (4) implementing
career research to design practical interventions in areas such as
education, counseling, and national policy; and (5) a commentary on
the current state of career scholarship and its future development
as represented in this volume, by founding scholars in the field.
This book will be a sourcebook for scholars studying careers,
research students intending to take up the study of careers, and
anyone - scholars and practitioners - with an interest not only in
understanding careers, the factors shaping them and where they
lead, but also in how this understanding might be used in practice.
Careers are studied across many disciplines - particularly from the
social sciences - but there is little conversation between them.
Many scholars are studying the same thing in different ways, too
often missing opportunities to learn from one another and draw on
each other's ideas and findings to enrich their own. Gunz and
Mayrhofer bridge these scholarly discourses as they explore the
meaning of 'career' and answer the question: what is it that career
scholars do when they study careers? The framework that emerges
from this answer - the Social Chronology Framework (SCF) - vitally
facilitates valuable conversations between scholars in different
intellectual traditions. Building on the SCF framework, this
comprehensive introduction to career studies encourages students,
researchers and practitioners to identify commonalities between the
topics they are studying and those examined in other fields, such
as organization studies, drawing together interdisciplinary
insights into career outcomes and their influencing factors.
