The changing career strategies of managers
Abstract
Examines the issues which managers consider when making career decisions and finds that, faced with reduced levels of employment security, they are redefining careers in terms that now include references to lifestyle and the achievement of a balance between the personal, domestic and employment aspects of their lives. Identifies that changes in any of these areas of managers’ lives can cause them to revise their career strategies. Identifies that life events also have a major impact upon career decisions. Recognises that there are gender‐related differences in the career strategies that managers adopt. Concludes that for some managers the definition of self is becoming less focused upon employment and more related to lifestyle.
