The covid-19 pandemic is a career shock for many people across the globe. In this article, we reflect on how insights from the literature on career shocks can help us understand the career consequences of the pandemic and offer suggestions for future research in this area. In particular, we offer three “key lessons”. The first lesson is that the implications of Covid-19 reflect the dynamic interplay between individual and contextual factors. Here, we argue that although the pandemic was difficult to predict and control, research shows that certain psychological resources – such as career competencies and resilience – could make this career shock more manageable. The second lesson is that the pandemic may have differential implications over time, as suggested by research that has shown the consequences of career shocks to differ between short-term vs. long-term time horizons, and across life- and career stages. The third lesson is that, even though the pandemic is clearly a negatively valenced shock for most people, further into the future it may allow for more positive outcomes. This lesson builds on research showing how negative career shocks have long-term positive consequences for some people. We hope that these insights will inspire both scholars and practitioners to study and understand the work and career implications of Covid-19 as a career shock, as well as to support people in dealing with its consequences.

covid-19大流行是职业震撼对于全球许多人来说。在本文中，我们将反思有关职业冲击的文献见解如何帮助我们了解大流行的职业后果，并为该领域的未来研究提供建议。特别是，我们提供了三个“关键课程”。第一个教训是Covid-19的含义反映了个体因素和上下文因素之间的动态相互作用。在这里，我们认为，尽管大流行病难以预测和控制，但研究表明，某些心理资源（例如职业能力和应变能力）可以使这一职业冲击更加可控。第二个教训是，该流行病可能会随着时间的流逝而产生不同的影响，正如一项研究表明的那样，该研究表明，职业冲击的后果在短期和长期之间会有所不同，以及整个人生和职业阶段。第三个教训是，尽管对大多数人来说，大流行显然是一种消极的冲击，但在未来，它可能带来更积极的结果。本课以研究为基础，该研究表明负面的职业冲击如何对某些人产生长期的积极影响。我们希望这些见解能激发学者和实践者学习和理解Covid-19作为职业冲击的工作和职业影响，并支持人们应对其后果。本课以研究为基础，该研究表明负面的职业冲击如何对某些人产生长期的积极影响。我们希望这些见解能激发学者和实践者学习和理解Covid-19作为职业冲击的工作和职业影响，并支持人们应对其后果。本课以研究为基础，该研究表明负面的职业冲击如何对某些人产生长期的积极影响。我们希望这些见解能激发学者和实践者学习和理解Covid-19作为职业冲击的工作和职业影响，并支持人们应对其后果。
