Abstract

PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to provide a synthesis of the contingent work field and to advocate a sustainable career perspective on contingent work.Design/methodology/approachAdopting a broader review approach allowed to synthesize the contingent work literature across contingent work types (temporary agency work, gig work and freelance work) and develop a sustainable career perspective on contingent work. The authors searched for empirical, conceptual and review articles published from 2008 to December 2021. In total, the authors included 208 articles.FindingsThe authors advocate a sustainable career perspective that allows for organizing and synthesizing the fragmented contingent work literature. Adopting a sustainable career perspective enables to study contingent work from a dynamic perspective transcending one single organization.Originality/valueThe field is suffering from fragmentation and most importantly from an oversight of how contingent work experiences play a role in a persons’ career. This paper addresses this problem by adopting a sustainable career perspective on contingent work.

关于临时工作的可持续职业视角：批判性回顾和研究议程

目的本文的目的是对特遣队工作领域进行综合，并倡导一种可持续的特遣队工作职业观。设计/方法/方法采用更广泛的审查方法，可以综合各种临时工作类型（临时代理工作、零工工作和自由职业工作）的临时工作文献，并对临时工作形成可持续的职业视角。作者搜索了2008年至2021年12月发表的实证、概念和评论文章。作者总共收录了208篇文章。发现作者提倡可持续的职业视角，允许组织和综合零散的偶然工作文献。采用可持续的职业视角可以从一个超越单一组织的动态视角研究特遣队工作。独创性/价值该领域正遭受碎片化的困扰，最重要的是对偶然工作经历如何在一个人的职业生涯中发挥作用的监督。本文通过对应急工作采用可持续的职业视角来解决这一问题。

期刊介绍： Careers and Development are inter-related fields of study with connections to many academic disciplines, organizational practices and policy developments in the emerging knowledge economies and learning societies of the modern world. Career Development International provides a platform for research in these areas that deals with questions of theories and theory development, as well as with organizational career strategy, policy and practice. Issues of theory and of practice may be dealt with at individual, organizational and society levels. The international character of submissions may have two aspects. Submissions may be international in their scope, dealing with a topic that is of concern to researchers throughout the world rather than of sole interest to a national audience. Alternatively, submissions may be international in content, relating, for example, to comparative analyses of careers and development across national boundaries, or dealing with inherently ''international'' issues such as expatriation. Coverage: -Individual careers - psychological and developmental perspectives -Career interventions (systems and tools, mentoring, etc) -Government policy and practices -HR planning and recruitment -International themes and issues (MNCs, expatriation, etc) -Organizational strategies and systems -Performance management -Work and occupational contexts
