Career development and participation at work: Time for mating?
批评职业发展与工作参与研究各自为政，提出“结合”式研究路径，将经济、层级等要求重新定义为共同研究对象，并用“知识换报酬”与“报酬换知识”两种人力资源管理举措对比说明。
Abstract Both career development and participation at work activities have emphasized a “prospecting” approach to inquiry. Although jointly inspired by the humanistic ethic, the two ventures have grown as separate streams of inquiry through their distinct responses to economic, hierarchical, technological, reductionist, and systems imperatives about work. A contrasting “mating” approach to inquiry is proposed, with the various imperatives becoming redefined as shared objects for further study. The proposal is supported by a set of diagnostic questions, and illustrated by a comparison between separate “Knowledge for Pay” and “Pay for Knowledge” human resource management initiatives. The possibility of broader application of the mating principle to other human resource management efforts is briefly considered.
