12. Protean Career
‘A process which the person, not the organisation, is managing. It consists of all the
person’s varied experiences in education, training, work in several organisations,
changes in occupational field, and so on. The protean career is not what happens
to the person in any one organisation. The protean person’s own personal career
choice and search for self-fulfilment are the unifying or integrative elements in
his or her life. The criterion for success is internal (psychological) not external
Careers that are driven more by individuals than organisations have been given the
name ‘protean careers’. Such careers are propelled by a need for psychological
success rather than by traditional, external measures of success.

13. Three kinds of flexibility associated with the
protean career:
It provides a new
approach to time
over the span of
one’s career
There is also an
enlargement of career
space. Careers can
move out from the
narrow boundaries of
paid work in a formal
organisation.
There is a reversal in
the way we think about
the relationship
between the employee
and the organisation
