The chaos theory of careers was applied to identify the connections between multiple jobholders’ careers and societal change. Multiple job holding is a form of employment that consists of two or more overlapping jobs. Six interviews with men born in the 1960s in Finnish North Karelia, whose multiple job holding included agricultural and forestry work, were analyzed. Our results showed that multiple job holding career development has societal connections and that the experiences of multiple job holding varied across individuals. Moreover, multiple job holding experiences and further career development endeavors were influenced by whether the multiple job holding career developed in line with or counter to societal changes. The study contributes to the chaos theory of careers by showing that self-similar fractal shapes can be identified both in individual careers and in societal changes by studying connective metaphors.

多份工作、社会变革和个人职业：对职业混沌理论的贡献

职业混沌理论被应用于确定多个职业持有者的职业与社会变革之间的联系。多份工作是一种由两个或多个重叠工作组成的就业形式。对 1960 年代出生于芬兰北卡累利阿的男性进行了六次采访，他们的多项工作包括农业和林业工作。我们的研究结果表明，多份工作的职业发展具有社会联系，而且多份工作的经历因人而异。此外，多份工作经历和进一步的职业发展努力受到多份工作的发展是顺应还是逆向社会变化的影响。
