Abstract

Although research on work transitions is extensive, little is known about the specific challenges of involuntary career changes. This study focused on how people articulate push, pull, anti-push, and anti-pull factors when facing an involuntarily triggered career change. We conducted 19 semistructured interviews with people forced to change careers due to health issues, migration, or unemployment in Switzerland. Through a consensual qualitative analysis, we showed that career changes were driven (i.e., facilitated or inhibited) by participants’ interests, values, or skills. This resulted in five types of processes of career change, depending on whether participants were aiming to maintain their values, update their values, transpose their interests, resuscitate forgone interests, or valorize their skills despite the involuntary nature of the change they were undergoing. Overall, findings stressed individuals’ struggle to regain a sense of control when having to face a career change. Limitations and implications are discussed.
非自愿职业变化的驱动因素:对推力、拉力、反推力和反拉力因素的定性研究
尽管有关工作转换的研究非常广泛,但人们对非自愿职业转换的具体挑战却知之甚少。本研究的重点是人们在面临非自愿引发的职业变化时,如何阐述推动、拉动、反推动和反拉动因素。我们在瑞士对因健康问题、移民或失业而被迫转行的人进行了 19 次半结构式访谈。通过一致同意的定性分析,我们发现职业变化是由参与者的兴趣、价值观或技能所驱动(即促进或抑制)的。这导致了五种类型的职业变化过程,取决于参与者是为了保持自己的价值观、更新自己的价值观、转换自己的兴趣、恢复被遗忘的兴趣,还是在经历非自愿性质的变化后仍然珍视自己的技能。总之,研究结果强调了个人在不得不面对职业变化时为重新获得控制感而做出的努力。本文讨论了研究的局限性和影响。
