The protean and boundaryless career attitudes are concepts that are increasingly relevant as the nature of work and careers are transformed by economic growth, globalization, and technology
Protean and boundaryless career concepts have been proposed as models of career management in such contexts, with the Protean and Boundaryless Career Orientation Scales developed for that purpose
Structural validation using confirmatory factor analysis To test the structural validity of the protean and boundaryless career attitudes scales, we used confirmatory factor analysis to test three alternative models
Summary
The protean and boundaryless career attitudes are concepts that are increasingly relevant as the nature of work and careers are transformed by economic growth, globalization, and technology. Careers have become less stable, linear, and bound to organizational hierarchies due to increasing globalization, use of technology in various economic sectors, among other factors (Greenhaus, Callanan, & Godshalk, 2009) This is true in emerging markets like the Philippines, where economic growth creates new types of jobs and work arrangements (Kim, Torneo, & Yang, 2019) and where exporting labor is a continuing policy that requires proactiveness and adaptability on the part of workers (Ortiga, 2018). The concepts of Protean and boundaryless careers have been proposed to capture the career mindsets and attitudes of individuals who define their personal career goals and values, who are proactive in career decision and actions, and who adapt to changing career environments in pursuit of intrinsic goals (Briscoe & Hall, 2006) In theory, these career attitudes could be applied to describe and understand the career-related attitudes of Filipino workers who wish to effectively manage their career development. Two broad career-related concepts capture related themes in these contemporary approaches—the protean careers and boundaryless careers—and we elaborate on these two concepts
