Abstract

Contemporary career research is characterized by the concepts of boundaryless and protean careers. The concepts of boundaryless and protean careers are compared in this review. The boundaryless career concept is profiled according to Sullivan and Arthur's categories of physical and psychological limitations. The protean career concept is discussed based on the degree of self-directed and value-oriented career orientation exhibited by a career actor. The researcher combined the protean and boundaryless career descriptions to produce eight career profiles based on a combination of boundaryless and protean career orientations. These eight profiles were examined in terms of the challenges to career actors and individuals that assist them in individual career development.
