As employees cannot always readily stretch their competencies and professional identity on the job through regular job crafting, we ask the question: are there alternative ways of crafting inside organizations through which people can stretch themselves? Using grounded theory methods, we step into the shoes of federal employees active in Open Oppor...

Through an international Delphi study, this article explores the new electronic human resource management regimes that are expected to transform internal staffing. Our focus is on three types of information systems: human resource management systems, job portals, and talent marketplaces. We explore the future potential of these new systems and iden...

We all know people who want to make a change in their careers but do not act on this desire. Yet this phenomenon, recently labeled “career inaction” (Verbruggen & De Vos, 2020), has received almost no research attention to date. To address this gap and enrich our understanding of career inaction, this paper explores the lived experiences of 43 indi...

Across two datasets—a corpus of 485 print media articles and a multi-actor survey of Tech/Innovation experts, Authors/Journalists, Economy/Labor Market experts, Policy Makers/Public Administrators, and Engaged Citizens (N=570)—we build the case that the future of work is a fiction, not a fact; or better yet, a series of competing fictions prescribi...

As organizations seek more adaptive workforces, they are increasingly embracing 'deconstructed' jobs as an alternative to traditional jobs. In these emerging work structures, jobs are broken down into tasks and projects, and matched with the knowledge, skills, and abilities of workers in the internal labor market. Despite the burgeoning popularity...

This chapter discusses the implications of platform-enabled gig work for line managers. Platform-enabled gig work concerns short-term work assignments (or "gigs") where supply and demand for labor is matched by online labor platforms like Uber, Deliveroo and Fiverr. Many gig workers do not have an employment relationship with the platform they work...

The papers in this symposium share the aim of advancing research on the identity threats individuals encounter in organizations. Utilizing qualitative and quantitative approaches, the papers in this symposium address three important limitations of current research on identity threats. Specifically, the first presentation provides an empirical inves...

Periods of career inaction may create substantial constraints for the sustainability of people’s careers (Verbruggen & De Vos, 2020). Given this risk, it is imperative to better understand people’s lived experience of career inaction, which can provide insights into when and why inaction occurs and the struggles to overcome it. We do so by investig...

In this dissertation, we empirically examine a new model of employee mobility in large, hierarchical organizations. Our focus is on three guiding questions: (1) What processes are replacing conventional mobilization and development approaches? And what technologies are expected to play a key role therein?; (2) What technology design are organizatio...
