Reviews / Votes
"Given the changing nature and organization of work, the career experiences of workers have evolved dramatically in the past several decades. This book provides readers with a comprehensive framework based on career pathways to understand these career experiences. Incorporating an employer perspective, it also offers insights for strengthening employment relationships and human capital management. It is a 'must read' for students, researchers, organizationalpractitioners, and policy makers in the fields of career education and workforce development."
-- Mo Wang, Lanzillotti-McKethan Eminent Scholar Chair, Warrington College of Business, University of Florida
"With the rapid changes that have occurred across the world of work--and the many more
that are sure to come--the notion of clear and predictable career paths has been left by the
wayside for organizations and employees. Jerry Hedge and Gary Carter have assembled a
diverse group of authors to address this timely topic, drawing linkages across workforce
education, organizations, and employees, and providing research insights and best practices
to advance and align our thinking on career pathways."
-- David H. Oliver, Vice President, Talent Management and Development, PepsiCo Foods North America
"A thoroughly enjoyable compendium that bridges research and insights on career pathways
across educational, individual, and organizational development perspectives in the face of
societal changes and technological advancements. It offers rich and up-to-date scientific
knowledge, inspiring insights, and illustrative case studies appealing to scientists and
students of the careers literature, but also to educators, HR professionals, and consultants."
-- Ute-Christine Klehe, Professor of Work and Organizational Psychology, Justus-Liebig-University Giessen
