Non-Linearity and Response-Ability: Emergent Order in 21st-Century Careers
提出用非线性、相互依赖和涌现等新科学概念来理解当代职业行为的动态变化，并讨论其对职业发展实践的启示。
Over the past two decades there has been a shift in the career literature from the view of a career as being a linear progression of job responsibilities within an industry, to that of a ‘boundaryless’, competency-based exploration that evolves in unexpected ways. This article argues that core constructs from ‘new science’ (non-linearity, interdependence and emergence) can provide a useful theoretical foundation for understanding the current dynamics of career behavior. The article also discusses implications of these constructs for career development practice and its contexts.
