Enacting global careers: Organizational career scripts and the global economy as co‐existing career referents
该质性研究考察全球导向的职业人士如何应对组织职业发展的机会与限制，发现管理者会主动调整组织职业脚本中的约束因素，且脚本的松紧程度影响其职业行动方式。
Abstract This qualitative study examines how globally‐oriented career actors engage with the opportunities and constraints of organizational career development. Drawing theoretically on career structuration, we study how individuals develop their global careers with reference to their employment setting and the global economy. Our findings indicate that managers intentionally engage in career practices that act upon those elements of the organizational career script which they experience as constraints for developing a career in the global economy. In addition, our findings suggest that tight organizational career scripts provoke explicit individual career actions whereas loose scripts initiate reflection and pondering. We discuss the theoretical implications of this study in terms of the interaction between multiple contexts and individual career actions, and the meaning of global careers.
