ABSTRACT

Despite role transitions occurring frequently within organisations, career theories have often overlooked such transitions. Here we explore the role of personal agency and organisational attachment in shaping career capital enactment within intra-organisational role transitions. We propose a new career capital usage typology. Using an interpretivist approach, the research is based within a UK construction business and explores the role transition experiences of 36 business leaders. Through an analysis of workers’ career capital use we identify a new typology and groups workers as follows: Passive Worker, Company Worker, Political Worker and Career Worker. We argue that type varies in accordance with levels of personal agency and organisational attachment and that this variation in type is particularly important during intra-organisational role transitions.

摘要

尽管组织内部经常发生角色转换，但职业理论经常忽视这种转换。在这里，我们探讨了个人代理和组织依恋在组织内部角色转换中塑造职业资本制定中的作用。我们提出了一种新的职业资本使用类型。该研究采用解释主义方法，以英国建筑企业为基础，探索 36 位商业领袖的角色转换经历。通过对工人职业资本使用的分析，我们确定了一种新的类型并将工人分组如下：被动工人、公司工人、政治工人和职业工人。
