From ideal workers to ideal work for all: A 50-year review integrating careers and work-family research with a future research agenda
Abstrak
Abstract Looking over fifty years, we review the careers literature,grounded in vocational psychology; and the work-family literature,rooted in industrial-organizational psychology and organizational behavior (IO/OB); in order to identify commonalities and gaps. Historically, these streams were not well-integrated, developed at separate speeds, and differed in gender focus. Early career studies targeted men's careers. Work-family studies centered on women's careers. The 71 studies identified clustered into three main approaches: careers studies emphasizing vocational psychology lenses; work-family theories from IO/OB research, and dual-realm focused theories from other disciplines. Two-thirds of the articles were conceptual. Most empirical articles took a trade-off lens, assuming an incompatibility between high dual role investments in career and family. To guide the next decades' future research, we propose expansion to four integrative lenses: Whole Life Demands-Resources; Linked-Lives of Family Life Course and Career Stages; Diversity, Inclusion and Multiple Identities; and Ideal Work in Changing Social, Technological, and Economic Contexts.
