From wallflower to life and soul of the party: acknowledging time’s role at center stage in the study of careers
本文指出时间对职业生涯研究至关重要，但相关研究困难且昂贵。通过回顾时间的作用、借鉴其他学科的方法，提出概念、方法和研究领域三方面的新议程，为学者提供方向。
The point of departure for this paper is the observation that time is central to the study of careers, although research on time and careers is not easy to do and is expensive. The paper does not attempt to minimize these practical difficulties, but nevertheless suggests new ways forward for time-based careers research. First, we review the reasons for time playing such a central role in the study of careers. Next, we examine the approach scholars from other disciplines, ranging from philosophy to organization studies, have taken to the study of time, drawing out a number of anchor points that, we suggest, form the basis for a new research agenda for career studies. Finally, we develop idea for this agenda across three broad themes, to do with conceptual issues, methodological issues, and areas of study that could fruitfully be opened up.
