- The traditional take on ‘a career’ is that it is a climb upwards in terms of position and pay, but such traditional career pathways are rapidly disappearing. Today, organisations place emphasis on learning, adaptability, and flexibility. Attempts to redefine 'career' as a personal development have not been adopted by most employees. When stable working conditions; employment contracts; and predictable, transparent career pathways disappear, this results in insecurity and the impression that there is no reward for increased effort. This, in turn, creates dissatisfaction and frustration. To re-establish the balance between effort and reward, organisations need to revise the career pathways that they offer their employees.

- Three important strategic challenges face future HR work: (i) HR departments should deploy a properly informed and critical attitude towards current trends and conditions, (ii) HR departments should deploy a relational and holistic perspective with respect to the work that they perform, and (iii) HR departments should deploy a positive view of other human beings and an ethical stance towards the work that they perform. The chapter ends with a discussion of the particular competencies that HR specialists need to develop so as to successfully meet the challenges described.

Conflicting perspectives on career : implications for career guidancee and social justice
- 2017
-
Ingår i: Career Guidance for Social Justice. - Oxford, UK : Routledge. - 9781138087385
-
Bokkapitel (refereegranskat)abstract
- This chapter discusses the various meanings of ‘career’ in a changing world of work that is framed by neoliberalism. It considers what implications these different meanings have for social justice and career guidance. Based upon the results of several studies, ‘career’ is considered as a ‘bridging object’ between several involved parties. Further development of these results draws attention to the issue of shared responsibility, and highlights three conflicting perspectives of ‘career’: the perspective of organisational and business needs; the perspective of people´s everyday knowledge of career; and the perspective of the career guidance community. A tentative proposal is made regarding the implications that these conflicting perspectives have for the meaning that is given to social justice amongst the actors in each field.

Demographic Changes and the Need for Later Career Opportunities
- 2015

Ingår i: Lifelong learning for older adults. ; , s. 22-22

Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- An ageing population creates challenges for society, organizations and individuals. People live longer and are healthier, and many adults of retirement age are still able to continue to work. Some of them want to continue and to prolong their working lives; others are not so keen on the idea. An extended working life is clearly an issue of increasing interest in society. Politicians argue for changes in the retirement system and suggest a raising of the retirement age. This paper is a first step towards a mapping of previous research about extended working lives and later careers as consequences of demographic changes. This study explores the character of issues and themes visible in recent research regarding older adults’ career opportunities, and such issues and themes are critically analysed according to the following research questions: In whose interests are the identified issues and themes highlighted? What possible gaps and challenges are identified for future research?Comprehensive databases, including peer-reviewed scientific articles, were used to search relevant research literature. The selection followed several steps. A brief review of the context and themes of extended working life in the literature was first explored. Thereafter, keywords were tested, revised, and finally selected for the final search procedure, which focused on scholarly, peer-reviewed articles published in the past ten years. Titles and abstracts were examined according to inclusion/exclusion criteria. This procedure resulted in a final selection of relevant articles that were included in the material for analysis. The analysis procedure resulted in several synthesised themes. These themes are critically analysed, and challenges for future research are discussed.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- This study explores previous research about extended working lives and later careers, as consequences of demographic changes alongside with a changing working life. Issues and themes visible in recent research on midlife and older adults’ careers opportunities are explored. A traditional literature review is conducted, in which peer reviewed articles on midlife and older adults’ careers issues and opportunities in an extended and changing working life are localized and downloaded as material for this study. This paper presents an analysis of empirical material downloaded from the Academic Search Elite database. The process of locating material from databases resulted in 141 articles selected for a deeper screening. Among these, 63 were finally selected as empirical material for analysis. Initially, the content of each article was identified, mapped, coded and categorized with content analysis as the basic method. The codes and categories with same or similar content were then brought together, and resulted in five overall themes: the need for all-age-career guidance services, career issues among certain professions, immigrants’ career paths, later careers and factors of well-being, and longitudinal correlations between early life conditions and late career. These themes are then discussed in terms of perspectives and interests that seem to dominate, and possible gaps and challenges for future research are also discussed.

Governance of teachers' professional development and learning within a new career position
- 2019

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- In 2013, the Swedish government introduced a career reform for teachers (SFS 2013, p. 70) that established two new career-track positions, namely, lead teachers and senior subject teachers. This study analyses the process of integrating this career reform into the Swedish school system in its early stage and focuses on lead teachers’ professional development and learning when trying to interpret and translate this new career position in their daily working life. The study explored teacher´s ideas, strategies and actions to govern themselves in relation to the demands for research and proven experience within the career reform, as well as their underlying views of career. For the empirical data collection, we interviewed twelve lead teachers. The analysis of the data generated four different governmentalities that these teachers used to govern themselves when trying to handle the career reform in their practices: the school developer, the process manager, the subject specialist and the involuntary careerist. Teachers relate their rationalities to different career discourses where organizational, individual and professional discourses are prominent to various degrees. Furthermore, underlying representations of career relate to both hierarchical views, and to a perspective of exchange. In addition, two new representations of career emerged: career as a non-hierarchical or equal level position, and career as a sorting tool. The results indicate that lead teachers have found themselves caught in tensions between multifaceted meanings of career, research-based education, and personal and organizational pressures associated with the intentions of the career reform.
