This article reports on a secondary analysis of qualitative research about five African young adults with refugee backgrounds who storied through semi-structured interviews their career transition in the complex, everchanging systems of their migration journeys. Qualitative descriptors of career adaptability and the systems of the Systems Theory Framework informed data analysis. Findings revealed that the recursive interaction between the five career adaptability dimensions occurred within complex personal, social, geographic and socio-political systems of the migration journey. Findings extend theoretical understandings of career adaptability as a process deeply embedded in complex contextual systems. Suggestions inform career practitioners and future career research.

本文报告了对五个难民背景的非洲年轻人的定性研究的二次分析，这些年轻人通过半结构化访谈存储了他们在复杂而不断变化的移民旅程系统中的职业过渡。职业适应性的定性描述符和系统理论框架的系统为数据分析提供了依据。调查结果表明，五个职业适应性维度之间的递归交互发生在迁移过程中的复杂个人，社会，地理和社会政治系统中。研究结果扩展了对职业适应性的理论理解，因为这一过程深深地嵌入了复杂的上下文系统中。建议可为职业从业者和未来的职业研究提供信息。
