Abstract

ABSTRACTThis study aims to understand how individuals give meaning to and enact their employability in a changing context. Our study draws on insights from the Social Chronology Framework. In doing so, it involves the interplay of three perspectives: individual, context and time. We used a narrative approach based on life story data from 24 theatre actors in Flanders (Belgium). We identified five narratives based on three building blocks: employability scripts, career imagination and action. Employability scripts encrypt what is contextually required to be employable. The narratives differ in how individuals interpret those scripts, make meaning of their position in the field (career imagination) and act. The narratives express variations in fit with the field. Three narratives express fit: Individuals blend in with the context and endorse the current employability script. A fourth narrative expresses being out-of-fit: Individuals identify with older scripts. A fifth narrative expresses misfit: Individuals fail to act according to the current script and disengage. Our main contributions are theoretical. First, we conceptualize employability “in the fit” and not in the individual. Second, we advance the notion of employability script. Both these contributions serve to understand employability at the interplay of agency and structure.KEYWORDS: Employabilitysocial chronology frameworkemployability scriptcareer imaginationfit Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).Notes1.

佛兰德斯的戏剧演员如何在动态环境中理解和演绎他们的就业能力:一个合适的问题

摘要本研究旨在了解个体如何在不断变化的环境中赋予和制定他们的就业能力。我们的研究借鉴了社会年代学框架的见解。在这样做的过程中，它涉及三个视角的相互作用:个人、环境和时间。我们采用了一种基于24位佛兰德斯(比利时)戏剧演员生活故事数据的叙事方法。我们根据三个组成部分确定了五种叙事:就业能力脚本、职业想象和行动。就业能力脚本加密了上下文所需的就业能力。叙述的不同之处在于个人如何解读这些剧本，如何理解他们在该领域的地位(职业想象)和行动。这些叙述表达了与该领域相适应的变化。三种说法表达了契合度:个人融入了环境，认可了当前的就业能力脚本。第四个叙述表达了不适应:个人认同旧剧本。第五种叙述表达了不适应:个人未能按照当前的剧本行事，脱离了工作。我们的主要贡献是理论上的。首先，我们将就业能力概念化为“适合”，而不是个人。其次，我们提出了就业能力脚本的概念。这两项贡献都有助于理解机构和结构相互作用下的就业能力。关键词:就业能力社会年代学框架就业能力脚本职业想象度披露声明作者未发现潜在利益冲突。所有的名字都是假名。我们没有包括受访者的特定网络的数据，因为这可能会泄露他们的身份。在我们的解释中，我们没有在单独的段落中描述时间，因为时间嵌入在叙事的所有其他方面。本研究由鲁汶大学内部基金和鲁汶大学内部基金资助(项目C24M/19/012)。
