This presentation features some highlights from our conceptual paper on sustainable careers (De Vos, Van der Heijden, & Akkermans, 2018 in Journal of Vocational Behavior)
This document summarizes presentations from a workshop on career development over the life course. It discusses how economic and social changes are transforming employment relationships, requiring more flexible career path management that addresses changing individual needs over time. It notes that building satisfactory career paths depends on developing resources throughout life. Transition phases between jobs, unemployment, and inactivity require support through public policies, businesses, and other organizations. The workshop seeks to address how to prevent increasing discrepancies in resources, offer sustainable careers and working conditions, and enable businesses to adapt while supporting employees.
Akkermans et al. (2013) Competencies for the Contemporary CareerJos Akkermans
A new and promising area of research has recently emerged in the field of career
development: career competencies. The present article provides a framework of
career competencies that integrates several perspectives from the literature. The
framework distinguishes between reflective, communicative, and behavioral career
competencies. Six career competencies are discerned: reflection on motivation,
reflection on qualities, networking, self-profiling, work exploration, and career control.
Based on this framework, we developed the Career Competencies Questionnaire
(CCQ) and preliminarily validated it in two samples of young employees
between 16 and 30 years of age. The results provided initial support for the
content, factorial, discriminant, and incremental validity of the CCQ. We hope to
stimulate further discussion, research, and development of interventions in the area
of career development. Implications for theory and practice are also discussed.

The imperative for care and caring within health and education remains a call echoed by global entities such as United Nation agencies (for example the World Health Organisation [WHO]), institutions, and actors involved in global health and education policy (including the private sector, civil society organisations and national governments). Care however does not take place in a vacuum. Care takes place in a context that has undergone dramatic changes and shifts. Health workers, educators and students are at the intersect of two dynamic forces of change namely the health sector and higher education. Relational professions such as nursing and education create corporeal responses (such as care/ing) within us. Health workers, educators and students are the interface, the filter, the absorber, the deflector, the interpreter, the optimist, realist, the mentor, role model and agent of care. These roles have a dramatic and lasting effect on us and influence how we care and practice caring.
Much of the discussions around care focus on the consumer of health care or education whether it is the client, patient or student. Many discussions are also from a deficit mode. The focus of this lecture is dedicated to the very foundation of these systems, namely the individual as health educator and scholar within these mutually dynamic contexts. A number of critical questions are pondered on namely how we get to care [too much] and whether we should or shouldn’t care about our care/ing within these complex environments.

This document is a working paper that discusses problem discovery as a collaborative and creative process for finding "real problems" that can lead to innovation. It argues that creative thinking is important for properly framing problems, not just finding solutions. The paper proposes using a "toolbox of convoluted methods" within a collaborative creativity model to systematically search for hidden real-world problems. It aims to illustrate this process as a way to discover "raw diamonds" that can then be crafted into innovative solutions. The goal is to improve understanding of complex systems and problems to enhance the quality of resulting innovations.
SUMMARY:
The importance of any research in the social sciences is that there is a significant commitment by education authorities in the development of tools and instruments to help certain groups to get a welfare bio-psycho-social. Hence, this paper presents a model of working with students at risk of social exclusion which makes it easier to focus on its interests and its potential as a means of achieving a real learning process. It offers a theoretical approach to those teaching professionals who teach the subject of vocational guidance and training to deepen their strengths and resources of its students at risk of exclusion as unique and distinct in the required actions and activities differentiated training

“How to Support and Develop the Innovation-oriented Entrepreneurship in Turbulent VUCA conditions?”
The most urgent problems of our times – concerning innovation management processes – are complex and turbulent in nature. In this article we define the vucability approach to innovation management. The VUCA refers to volatile (V), uncertain (U), complex (C) and ambiguous (A) times we are today facing. Many innovation management models do not take these Postnormal Era requirements into consideration. Uncertain and complex VUCA conditions are the fundamental reason to elaborate a new approach for innovation management. Our novel approach focuses in three essential dimensions of innovation management: (1) the density of serendipity thinking, (2) platform utilisation (including business model variety) and (3) innovation ecosystem. We claim that in the evolutionary development of science and technology parks (STPs), professionals on innovation management and governance should aim to highest sophistication in these three critical fields of innovation management. In this paper we present the foundations of the ‘vucability’ approach. We also note that in the development of STPs, professionals should evaluate the sophistication level of serendipity thinking, platform utilisation and innovation ecosystem development. Systemic evaluation and development activities will lead eventually to the highest level of vucability excellence. The evaluation and mapping system (EMS-VUCA 1.0) of the vucability approach will be presented in a robust form in our article.
How gender and career concepts impact Global Talent Management.pdfVANDANANARWAL1
This document discusses how gender and career concepts impact global talent management. It begins by outlining contemporary career concepts like the boundaryless career and protean career, which emphasize agency and independence. It then discusses how contextual factors like culture, organization, and labor markets influence career orientations and talent management, particularly regarding gender. The paper proposes a new holistic model called the Dynamic Career Cube to visualize how a talent's career orientation evolves over their life cycle based on internal and external influences. This model aims to improve global talent management approaches to better develop and retain both male and female talent.
Artifacts for the Systemic Design of Flourishing Enterprises - OCADU Research Peter Jones
Human commerce utilizes the most significant share of natural resources and produces the largest aggregate impact on the earth’s environment. As a consequence of modern employment and work cultures, commerce, corporations as opposed to governments, also construct much of the social contract and social organizational forms in developed societies. Sustainable development movements to conserve resources and to democratize or enhance organizational practices have called for culture change or transformation. However, these approaches have not yielded results that will significantly enhance human flourishing in the face of globalized commerce, which has no common governance system. We suggest that the goals of alignment toward sustainable development or so-called corporate sustainability are misguided and systemically depreciative, as they purport to sustain activities that foreseeably accelerate ecological degradation. We propose a modeling practice for stakeholder design of strongly sustainable enterprises for the intention of whole system flourishing across living ecosystems and organized social systems. This systemic design approach to business transformation functions at the level of the business model. We claim that business model design affords the highest leverage across all modes of organizing for collective cultural adoption ecosystemic practices.
Akkermans et al. (2015) - It's All About CareerSKILLSJos Akkermans
The aim of our study was to investigate the effectiveness of the CareerSKILLS program, a career development intervention based on career competencies and the JOBS methodology, which aims to stimulate career self-management
and well-being of young employees. In a quasi-randomized control trial, the effects of the program were tested in a homogeneous sample of young employees
with intermediate vocational education (Nintervention = 112, Nnon-intervention = 61) and in a heterogeneous sample of employees from a special reintegration program (Nintervention = 71, Nnon-intervention = 41). Our results support the effectiveness of the intervention: participants of the CareerSKILLS program, versus a control group, showed increases in six career competencies (refl ection of
motivation, refl ection on qualities, networking, self-profi ling, work exploration, and career control), self-effi cacy, resilience against setbacks, careerrelated behaviors, perceived employability, and work engagement. These
results provide empirical support for the effectiveness of the CareerSKILLS program. Theoretical and practical implications are discussed.

Employees are the lifeblood of any company. This is particularly tTanaMaeskm
Employees are the lifeblood of any company. This is particularly true for service-based companies where employees are required to deal directly with customers on an everyday basis. Human resource management (HRM) is the process of recruiting, training, and retaining the correct number and specific type of employees a company needs. Effective HRM is challenging for any organization, but it presents a very difficult task for companies like international hotel giant Hilton which employs over 414,000 team members around the globe.

Cultural Diversity in Business: A Critical Reflection
on the Ideology of Tolerance

Abstract Cultural diversity is an increasingly important
phenomenon that affects not only social and political har-
mony but also the cohesion and efficiency of organisations.
The problems that firms have with regard to managing
cultural diversity have been abundantly studied in recent
decades from the perspectives of management theory and
moral philosophy, but there are still open questions that
require deeper reflection and broader empirical analysis.
Managing cultural diversity in organisations is of prime
importance because it involves harmonising different val-
ues, beliefs, credos and customs, and, in essence, human
identity. Taking into consideration these cultural differ-
ences and harmonising them is a human rights issue
(UNDP, Cultural liberty in today’s diverse world, 2004)
and a central dimension of corporate social responsibility.
Here we are going to focus on theoretical reflection about
the ideas that lie behind corporate policies and organisa-
tional initiatives that deal with cultural diversity. The aim
of our paper is twofold: to present a critical reflection on
the ideology of tolerance, and propose an ideology of
respect for dealing with cultural diversity. We start by
presenting the plurality of interpretations of the concept of
ideology, and justify its applicability to the field of cultural
diversity. We then reflect on the differences between
‘‘tolerance’’ and ‘‘respect’’ and identifying the practical
implications for managing cultural diversity. And finally,
we propose a culture of r ...

This document provides an overview of the fields of practice in HCS103, a core subject in social work and social welfare degrees. It introduces key terminology related to human services and social work. Social work draws from various disciplines and aims to facilitate social change, empowerment, and social justice. Social welfare practice requires understanding human development, social systems, and how individual and societal factors interact. Practice occurs at micro, meso, and macro levels.
A Critical Review Of Resilience Theory And Its Relevance For Social WorkLiz Adams
This document provides a critical review of resilience theory and its relevance for social work. It begins by discussing differing definitions of resilience, addressing tensions between viewing resilience as an outcome or process. It then examines how adversity and outcomes are defined and measured in resilience research. Finally, it analyzes the processes involved in resilience and evaluates the relevance of resilience theory for social work in South Africa in relation to research questions, indigenous knowledge, and social development.
This document summarizes a research article that explores caring responsibilities through the narrative of a woman named Eva. The article aims to enrich care ethical theories and contribute to debates on citizen responsibilities. Eva's narrative shows how she balances caring for herself and others in complex relationships affected by her situation. For Eva, a good life equals a caring life achieved through relational processes rather than individual autonomy. Her story illustrates caring as requiring moral intimacy in relationships and ambiguous struggles with reciprocity, vulnerability and openness rather than tensions between self-care and care for others. Developments transferring caring responsibilities to citizens require rethinking concepts of responsibility, care and relationality.
The document discusses Phoebe Moore's research on the quantified self at work. It provides biographical details on Moore, including her primary research interests which involve analyzing how wearable self-tracking technologies are being implemented and experienced in workplace wellness and productivity programs. The document lists several of Moore's past and upcoming publications on topics such as how self-quantification relates to precarity, autonomy, and subjectivity in different work contexts.

This document provides information on designing career development learning interventions informed by social justice. It begins with definitions of social justice and examples of how social justice can be applied to career development. It then describes a workshop delivered on this topic, including the design, student consultation conducted during planning, evaluation and applications to other contexts. The workshop aimed to increase understanding of social justice in career and inspire individual and social change. Student feedback indicated collaborative learning was an effective approach. Challenges included managing emotional aspects and facilitating debate on competing views.
This qualitative study explored the attitudes, beliefs, and practices of 40 undergraduate smokers through interviews. The researchers identified several themes: many students viewed smoking as social and a stress reliever; most wanted to quit but found it difficult; and many were aware of health risks but felt invincible as young adults. The study provided insights into the perspectives and behaviors of college-age smokers to help inform future smoking prevention and cessation programs.

Discussion 1: Reflections on Qualitative Research for Social Change
Introduction: Social Change
In the recent years, the pursuit for institutions, “practical researchers” and individuals to join in the crusade for
social change
has been remarkable; as many people around the world are reaching out to their neighborhoods as a member of the community to contribute to the common good through research, service, and educational opportunities (
Yob
& Brewer, 2015. p.2). Social change constitutes a change in the nature, the social institutions, the social behavior or the social relations of a society, community of people, or other social structures (Walden University, 2016). Social change can be at the micro scale (that positively shape values, attitudes and behaviors) or at the macro scale (that positively shape
economies, religion and families).
The Essence of Social Change to a Walden Student
Yob
& Brewer (2015) observed that the term “social change” has been defined and analyzed across the academic disciplines, reflecting the particular perspective of that discipline and its research agenda. Prominent among the definition of
social change
are the concepts of
social justice
and
equity
which have been significant in discussions of social change in education, psychology, and social and cultural studies (Curry-Stevens, 2007; Drury &
Reicher
, 2009;
Moely
,
Furco
, & Reed, 2008; and
Peterson, 2009, as were cited in
Yob
& Brewer (2015). There are as many definitions for
social change
as we have social scientists. However
Hoff and
Hickling
-Hudson (2011), supporting the definition of
Aloni
(2002), provided the definition which places social change as “challenging trends of discrimination, exploitation, oppression, and subjugation displayed by groups who regard themselves as favored and, thus, take privileges for themselves and deprive other groups of the right to a dignified life” (p. 189). In this context, “
change”
as is used in the “social change” is defined here in positive and value-laden terms that relate more particularly to the agents of social change than to others they might want to change.
There is a great range and variation in the roles and positions that researchers takes up in research, as was observed by
Ravitch
& Carl (2016).
Over the years (
more than 45 years), Walden University has produced career professionals with the opportunity to transform themselves as scholar-practitioners so that they can apply what
they’ve
learned to effect positive social change. Walden is focused on inspiring and celebrating the remarkable achievements of community members who continue to make a difference by addressing challenges where they live, in their professions, and in the world around them. This was a major factor that attracted me to pursue a
programme
at Walden. In our sub-region, (the sub-Sahara Africa), addressing the issue of social change from the national perspective has not been as significant relative to the.
This document discusses how different paradigms have shaped the field of home economics over the past century and will continue to impact practice. It argues that home economics is undergoing a paradigm shift from a scientific to a more contextual paradigm.

presenting the plurality of interpretations of the concept of

A Critical Review Of Resilience Theory And Its Relevance For Social WorkLiz Adams
This document provides a critical review of resilience theory and its relevance for social work. It begins by discussing differing definitions of resilience, addressing tensions between viewing resilience as an outcome or process. It then examines how adversity and outcomes are defined and measured in resilience research. Finally, it analyzes the processes involved in resilience and evaluates the relevance of resilience theory for social work in South Africa in relation to research questions, indigenous knowledge, and social development.
This document summarizes a research article that explores caring responsibilities through the narrative of a woman named Eva. The article aims to enrich care ethical theories and contribute to debates on citizen responsibilities. Eva's narrative shows how she balances caring for herself and others in complex relationships affected by her situation. For Eva, a good life equals a caring life achieved through relational processes rather than individual autonomy. Her story illustrates caring as requiring moral intimacy in relationships and ambiguous struggles with reciprocity, vulnerability and openness rather than tensions between self-care and care for others. Developments transferring caring responsibilities to citizens require rethinking concepts of responsibility, care and relationality.
The document discusses Phoebe Moore's research on the quantified self at work.

This qualitative study explored the attitudes, beliefs, and practices of 40 undergraduate smokers through interviews. The researchers identified several themes: many students viewed smoking as social and a stress reliever; most wanted to quit but found it difficult; and many were aware of health risks but felt invincible as young adults. The study provided insights into the perspectives and behaviors of college-age smokers to help inform future smoking prevention and cessation programs.

Discussion 1 Reflections on Qualitative Research for Social Change.docxeve2xjazwa
Discussion 1: Reflections on Qualitative Research for Social Change
Introduction: Social Change
In the recent years, the pursuit for institutions, “practical researchers” and individuals to join in the crusade for
social change
has been remarkable; as many people around the world are reaching out to their neighborhoods as a member of the community to contribute to the common good through research, service, and educational opportunities (
Yob
& Brewer, 2015. p.2). Social change constitutes a change in the nature, the social institutions, the social behavior or the social relations of a society, community of people, or other social structures (Walden University, 2016). Social change can be at the micro scale (that positively shape values, attitudes and behaviors) or at the macro scale (that positively shape
economies, religion and families).
The Essence of Social Change to a Walden Student
Yob
& Brewer (2015) observed that the term “social change” has been defined and analyzed across the academic disciplines, reflecting the particular perspective of that discipline and its research agenda. Prominent among the definition of
social change
are the concepts of
social justice
and
equity
which have been significant in discussions of social change in education, psychology, and social and cultural studies (Curry-Stevens, 2007; Drury &
Reicher
, 2009;
Moely
,
Furco
, & Reed, 2008; and
Peterson, 2009, as were cited in
Yob
& Brewer (2015). There are as many definitions for
social change
as we have social scientists. However
Hoff and
Hickling
-Hudson (2011), supporting the definition of
Aloni
(2002), provided the definition which places social change as “challenging trends of discrimination, exploitation, oppression, and subjugation displayed by groups who regard themselves as favored and, thus, take privileges for themselves and deprive other groups of the right to a dignified life” (p. 189). In this context, “
change”
as is used in the “social change” is defined here in positive and value-laden terms that relate more particularly to the agents of social change than to others they might want to change.
There is a great range and variation in the roles and positions that researchers takes up in research, as was observed by
Ravitch
& Carl (2016).
Over the years (
more than 45 years), Walden University has produced career professionals with the opportunity to transform themselves as scholar-practitioners so that they can apply what
they’ve
learned to effect positive social change. Walden is focused on inspiring and celebrating the remarkable achievements of community members who continue to make a difference by addressing challenges where they live, in their professions, and in the world around them. This was a major factor that attracted me to pursue a
programme
at Walden. In our sub-region, (the sub-Sahara Africa), addressing the issue of social change from the national perspective has not been as significant relative to the.
This document discusses how different paradigms have shaped the field of home economics over the past century and will continue to impact practice. It argues that home economics is undergoing a paradigm shift from a scientific to a more contextual paradigm. The document provides background on paradigms and how they shape one's worldview and approach to problems. It examines how the scientific paradigm has influenced home economics and discusses calls for the field to adopt a more critical perspective to better address changing family needs.

Career Competencies and Employability: A Successful Team?Jos Akkermans
Akkermans, J., Brenninkmeijer, V., & Blonk, R.W.B. Career competencies and employability: A successful team? Paper presented at the bi-annual conference of the European Association of Work and Organizational Psychology (EAWOP), May 2011, in Maastricht, Netherlands
The document discusses innovative ways of studying employability and presents findings from a study on employability conducted by Jos Akkermans, Stefan Mol, and Sofija Pajic at the EAWOP Meeting in Dublin, Ireland. The study used latent profile analysis to examine different profiles of employability competencies in university graduates and their relationship to study and job performance, drawing on a systematic literature review. The findings from the study were discussed by Nele de Cuyper.
EAWOP 2017 Presentation Buffering the BreachJos Akkermans
This study examined how unit commitment climate buffers the negative effects of psychological contract breach (PCB). The researchers found that:
1) A high level of agreement in commitment climate (climate strength) moderated the relationship between PCB and decreased work engagement, such that strong agreement buffered the negative effects.
2) However, only the interaction between high commitment climate level and strength buffered the effects - high level alone did not.
3) PCB had the most strongly buffered negative effects on engagement when both commitment climate level and strength were high.
EAWOP 2017 Presentation All In or All OutJos Akkermans
This document summarizes a presentation examining potential trade-off effects of human resource management (HRM) investments in employee employability. The presentation suggests that the "employability management paradox" - the idea that increasing employee employability could decrease organizational commitment - may not exist. Results from two studies found that high-commitment HRM practices like training, performance management, and communication were positively related to employee commitment indirectly through both internal and external employability. There was no evidence that increasing employability diminished organizational commitment. The findings imply organizations need not worry that investing in employee employability will reduce attachment to the company.
These slides are from a guest lecture that I provided for the course HRM Practices: A Global Perspective. The topic is Training & Development and contemporary careers.

Kooij et al. (2017) - The Influence of FTP on Work Engagement and Performance...Jos Akkermans
This two-wave study aimed to examine future time perspective (FTP) as an antecedent of job crafting,
and in turn job crafting as a mediator in associations between FTP and work outcomes. Based on the
lifespan socio-emotional selectivity theory, we expected that open-ended and limited FTP would evoke
different forms of job crafting, which in turn would be associated with changes in work engagement
and job performance. In line with our expectations, we found that employees whose open-ended FTP
increased over a 1-year time period also crafted more job resources and challenging job demands such
that their job provided them with more opportunities for knowledge acquisition, which in turn resulted
in increased levels of work engagement and job performance. However, contrary to our expectations,
employees whose limited FTP increased over the 1-year time period did not proactively reduce their
hindering job demands. Hence, although crafting fewer hindering job demands was directly related to
decreased levels of work outcomes as expected, we found no indirect effect of changes in limited FTP
on changes in work engagement and performance via changes in this job crafting behaviour. These
findings have important implications for the literature on job crafting and FTP.
Akkermans & Tims (2017) - Crafting your Career: How Career Competencies Relat...Jos Akkermans
This study aimed to investigate whether career competencies could enhance an
employee's subjective career success in terms of perceived employability and
work–home balance via job crafting behaviors. Based on Job Demands-
Resources (JD-R) Theory, we examined a potential motivational process in
which career competencies, as a personal resource, would enhance career success
through expansive job crafting. The results showed that job crafting mediated
the positive relationship between career competencies and both internal
and external perceived employability. In addition, job crafting mediated the
positive relationship between career competencies and work–home enrichment.
We expected a negative association between job crafting and work–home interference,
yet our results indicated that career competencies are indirectly and
positively related to work–home interference via job crafting. With our findings,
we add to JD-R Theory by (1) showing that career competencies may be
considered a personal resource, (2) empirically examining the role of job crafting
in motivational processes, and (3) showing that enhanced subjective career
success can be an outcome of motivational processes. Organisations may use
these findings to implement developmental HR practices aimed at increasing
career competencies and job crafting.
Plomp et al. (2016) - Career Competencies and Job Crafting: How proactive Emp...Jos Akkermans
This study examines how proactive employees influence their well-being through job crafting and career competencies. The study found that proactive personality was positively related to both job crafting and career competencies. Job crafting and career competencies were both found to mediate the positive relationship between proactive personality and employee well-being, as measured by job satisfaction and perceived health. The findings suggest that proactive employees can enhance their well-being through both proactively shaping their job duties and developing career-related skills and abilities.

This study examines whether career competencies can enhance subjective career success in terms of perceived employability and work-home balance through job crafting behaviors. The results showed that job crafting mediated the positive relationship between career competencies and both internal and external perceived employability as well as work-home enrichment. However, career competencies were also positively related to work-home interference through job crafting. The findings suggest that career competencies and job crafting can help employees achieve better career success by improving their employability and work-home balance.
