Abstract

Our paper advances the embryonic interest of combining the theoretical frameworks of sustainable career and career ecosystem into a sustainable career ecosystem theory by introducing Artificial Intelligence (AI) as a new actor, spotlighting the need for liminality of the relationship between an individual and career practitioner, and presenting a new conceptual model. We begin by providing a brief overview of sustainable career and career ecosystem theories, culminating in a recently proposed definition of a sustainable career ecosystem. Second, using this as our point of departure, we consider the theoretical perspectives for understanding a sustainable career ecosystem through (a) introducing AI as a new actor with the potential to disrupt and transform the (future) labor market and (b) making a case for the liminality of the individual and career practitioner relationship. Third, we consider various dimensions for analyzing a sustainable career ecosystem to offer a new conceptual model. We conclude with a future research agenda.

引入可持续职业生态系统：理论视角、概念化和未来研究议程

我们的论文通过引入人工智能（AI）作为新的行为者，强调个人与职业实践者之间关系的边缘性需求，并提出一个新的概念模型，推进了将可持续职业生涯和职业生态系统的理论框架结合为可持续职业生态系统理论的雏形。首先，我们简要概述了可持续职业生涯和职业生态系统理论，最后提出了可持续职业生态系统的最新定义。其次，我们以此为出发点，通过（a）将人工智能作为一个有可能颠覆和改变（未来）劳动力市场的新角色，以及（b）论证个人与职业从业者关系的边缘性，来考虑理解可持续职业生态系统的理论视角。第三，我们考虑了分析可持续职业生态系统的各种维度，以提供一个新的概念模型。最后，我们提出了未来的研究议程。

期刊介绍： The Journal of Vocational Behavior publishes original empirical and theoretical articles offering unique insights into the realms of career choice, career development, and work adjustment across the lifespan. These contributions are not only valuable for academic exploration but also find applications in counseling and career development programs across diverse sectors such as colleges, universities, business, industry, government, and the military. The primary focus of the journal centers on individual decision-making regarding work and careers, prioritizing investigations into personal career choices rather than organizational or employer-level variables. Example topics encompass a broad range, from initial career choices (e.g., choice of major, initial work or organization selection, organizational attraction) to the development of a career, work transitions, work-family management, and attitudes within the workplace (such as work commitment, multiple role management, and turnover).
