Over the coming decades, technology and automation are expected to dramatically transform how work will be undertaken. While many of these developments will improve productivity and provide new opportunities, some jobs will likely disappear. In this article, we report data from in‐depth interviews undertaken with 51 young Australians about their strategies for managing the possibility of technological disruption in the workplace. In the face of future uncertainties, we found that the majority of our participants remained confident in their ability to maintain for themselves a ‘good’ career story. We posit, however, that those who could neither avoid nor reduce the possibility that technological advancements might jeopardise their career plans demonstrated an outlook of career malleability whereby they accepted the risk yet remained subjectively confident in their own capacity to rewrite their career narrative if, or when, circumstances demanded.

技术，变化和不确定性：在21世纪初保持职业信心

在未来的几十年中，技术和自动化有望大大改变工作方式。尽管其中许多发展将提高生产力并提供新的机会，但一些工作可能会消失。在本文中，我们报告了与51位年轻的澳大利亚人进行的深度访谈有关他们管理工作场所技术中断可能性的策略的数据。面对未来的不确定性，我们发现大多数参与者对自己保持“良好”职业经历的能力仍然充满信心。但是，我们认为，那些既无法避免也无法降低技术进步可能危害其职业生涯规划的可能性的人，则显示出其职业可塑性的前景。 因此，他们接受了风险，但在需要时或在需要时，对自己的能力有主观的信心来重写自己的职业经历。
