Mid-career is a turning point—this book explains why changes in work, family, and self matter to everyone.
This study surveys how managers and professionals shape their careers over time. It looks at patterns in technically based and managerial careers, and what mid-life pressures do to work involvement, satisfaction, and personal well-being. The findings come from multiple research projects that track alumni, professionals, and organizational roles, aiming to understand how career choices evolve and why conflicts arise between work, family, and personal development.
- Discover how different career clusters form, from engineering and scientific paths to pure professions, and what those paths reveal about values and goals.
- Learn about career anchors that guide people toward leadership, autonomy, creativity, or security, and how those anchors influence job satisfaction and transitions.
- See how work involvement shifts at mid-career, and why some roles offer more satisfaction or cause burnout or disengagement.
- Explore how social and organizational changes—such as changing technology, family expectations, and diversity initiatives—shape career planning and the design of work life.
Ideal for readers of career development, management, and workplace research who want a practical view of mid-life work challenges and potential responses.
