Authors:Yaw Owusu-Agyeman Pages: 167 - 176 Abstract: Australian Journal of Career Development, Volume 30, Issue 3, Page 167-176, October 2021. This study draws on the career construction theory to investigate how individual and institutional features enhance the subjective career success of early career academics in a university in South Africa. A qualitative research design was used to gather and analyse data by way of semi-structured face-to-face interviews among 16 early career academics who were purposively sampled. Results revealed that hierarchical barriers, perceived unclear policies on work processes, and challenges pertaining to academic freedom impede early career academics’ subjective career success. Conversely, availability of teaching and learning resources, exposure to professional networks, and social interaction enhance the subjective career success of early career academics. At the individual level, early career academics’ sense of inadequacy, challenges in socialising with colleagues, and high teaching workloads negatively affect their subjective career success. This study recommends that universities should prioritise the subjective career success of early career academics by supporting their individual goals through institutional support mechanisms that include career advising and mentoring.

Authors:Tek Leong Lim, Rosmini Omar, Theresa Char Fei Ho, Poh Kiong Tee Pages: 177 - 188 Abstract: Australian Journal of Career Development, Volume 30, Issue 3, Page 177-188, October 2021. This paper examined how academic staffs’ extrinsic and intrinsic job satisfaction influenced their turnover intention. The role of the work–life balance was investigated in this relationship by distinguishing between work–family and family–work conflict. Data from 450 academics in Malaysian universities were collected and analysed using Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling. The results revealed that both extrinsic and intrinsic job satisfaction significantly affected academics’ work–family and family–work conflict, as well as their turnover intention. Work–family conflict partially mediated the effect of extrinsic and intrinsic job satisfaction on academics’ turnover intention. Conversely, family–work conflict had no significant mediating effect in this relationship. This study has contributed to the existing body of knowledge on academics’ work–life balance by validating the differing (mediating) impacts of work–family and family–work conflict along with the relationship between job satisfaction and turnover intention. The results have important implications for universities’ human resource management by providing valuable insights on potential work–life balance policies for academics to reduce their turnover. However, the study's limited scope, comprising only five private universities in Malaysia, may constrain the generalisation of the findings.

The present research is an investigation into students’ selection of extracurricular activities that support the development of their employability. The research deployed focus groups involving students (N = 25) aged 21–44 years (M = 26, SD = 6.6), 52% of the participants were female, 48% were undergraduate students, 56% were international students, and 64% were the first generation in their family to attend university. Transcripts of the focus groups were analyzed using qualitative content analysis focused on students’ descriptions of career adaptive behaviors and career adaptability dimensions of concern, control, curiosity, and confidence. Through the lens of career construction theory, this present investigation has identified new findings that can help educators and practitioners understand the motivations, and interests of university students in engaging in activities that are likely to support the transition from university to work.

A growing body of empirical research in vocational psychology has equivocally manifested the importance of psychological resources in sustainable careers. Drawing on a framework of Conservation of Resources theory, the purpose of this paper is to examine the role of the Hope, (Self)-Efficacy, Resilience, and Optimism elements of Psychological Capital as a mechanism for explaining Perceived Employability. We develop a conceptual model and empirically test it using questionnaire data from 421 software engineers working for private IT companies in India. Findings indicate that Hope, Self-Efficacy, and Optimism determine Perceived Employability, and that Resilience and Self-Efficacy are mediators. The theoretical contribution comes from advancing the understanding of sustainable careers by empirically examining how individual elements of Psychological Capital can create resource caravans. These personal resources empower individuals to take ownership of their careers and navigate different contexts over time, offering practical implications for career counseling and benefits to individuals and organizations.

Although a significant portion of African migrants resides in Europe and contribute significantly to European economies, they are underrepresented in social sciences research. As a result, our understanding of the antecedents of their career success is limited. To address this gap, we aim to perform a systematic literature review of the antecedents of the career success of African migrants in Europe. We build upon the Career Resources Framework to organize and synthesize our findings drawn from 22 peer-reviewed articles published between 2011 and 2019 selected following the PRISMA method. Results revealed education, the host country's language skills, belonging to diverse social networks, stronger cultural competencies, and higher career clarity are positively associated with career success. However, African migrants experience the most severe labor market discrimination in terms of employment and career prospects in Europe which dramatically calls for further scholarly attention. We discuss the findings and outline future research agenda.

Authors:Irene Mok, Lynette Mackenzie, Kate Thomson Pages: 226 - 239 Abstract: Australian Journal of Career Development, Volume 30, Issue 3, Page 226-239, October 2021. Career development for older workers is an emerging challenge to human resource management (HRM) which aims to improve the employability of older workers and mitigate labour and skill shortage problems. This review synthesised findings from 15 studies referring to career development and HRM practices for older workers. The aims were to examine the definition of career development for older workers and factors that affect the provision of career development. The five-step scoping review process outlined by Arksey and O'Malley (2005) was followed. Results indicated that when career development is incorporated as a part of HRM practices it improved employability and retention of older workers. However, the lack of definitional clarity of what career development meant for an ageing workforce made it challenging for organisations to integrate it into their HRM practices. Further research is needed to examine implementation barriers and find ways to increase collaboration between older workers and organisations.
