“…In terms of personal characteristics, self-efficacy (i.e., trust that one can cope with challenging situations) and a feeling of belongingness is likely to develop with age (Richardson, 2002). Finally, one can see that younger entrepreneurs may feel financial constraints, such as difficulties getting bank loans or finding other investors (Campbell and De Nardi, 2009).…”

Purpose -Investigate motives behind individuals' choice to have parallel businessemployment careers (hybrid entrepreneurship) with a particular focus on passion (i.e., to work with something one is passionate about) as the main motive. Design/methodology/approach -A survey was administered to 262 Swedish hybrid entrepreneurs. Hypotheses proposed associations of the individual's age at business start-up and weekly hours spent on the business with passion as the main motive for the hybrid form. Logistic regression was used to test the hypotheses. Findings -The results indicated that (1) the ability to work with something one is passionate about is the top motive for combining employment with a side business; (2) passion is more likely to be the main motive behind the hybrid form among individuals who are older at business start-up; (3) passion is less likely to be the main motive behind the hybrid form among individuals who spend more time on the business. Research limitations/implications -The study focuses on passion as motive for hybrid entrepreneurship, and in doing so, it does not test the extent to which hybrid entrepreneurs experience passion. Practical implications -The results support the popular notion that passion drives people to have parallel business-employment careers. Findings indicating that passion as a motive is more common among those who are older at start-up and less common among those who spend more time on the business suggest the importance of acknowledging hybrid entrepreneurs' various profiles when approaching them in research and practice. Originality/value -This is the first study on motives behind hybrid entrepreneurship.

“…The second phenomenon refers to a progressive, but incontrovertible change in basic social structures: the traditional male breadwinning based/rooted family unit has been replaced by new entities, determined by the instabilities of marriages, the increasing numbers of adults living alone, changes in child-bearing patterns (due to new fertility technologies), diverse family patterns such as gay and lesbian marriages, increasing longevity, etc. (Richardson, 2002).…”

Major global changes during the last decades have influenced the individual's work-life and career. As a result of globalisation, increasing societal complexity and flexibility, careers have lost their linearity and predictability. Traditional models of career development no longer provide a comprehensive explanation for an adequate career development. New theoretical concepts such as protean and boundaryless career attitudes are presented as options to cope with the new situation. In addition, the development of career meta-competencies and skills are introduced as an approach to foster career self-management.Résumé. Serpents et échelles: souligner le rôle des méta-compétences pour les carrières post-modernes. Les changements globaux importants des dernières décennies ont influencé la vie de travail et la carrière de l'individu. En raison de la mondialisation, de la complexité et de la flexibilité sociales croissantes, les carrières ont perdu leur linéarité et leur prévisibilité. Les modèles traditionnels du dével-oppement de la vie professionnelle ne fournissent plus une explication complète pour le développement d'une vie professionnelle harmonieuse. Nous présentons de nouveaux concepts théoriques tels que des attitudes de carrière protéiformes et dégagées de toute limitation comme des possibilités de faire face à la nouvelle situation. En outre, on présente le développement de méta-compétences et de qualifications de carrière comme une approche susceptible de stimuler l'autogestion de la carrière.Zusammenfassung. Schlangen und Leitern: Betonung der Bedeutung von Meta-Kompetenzen fü r postmoderne Berufsverläufe. Größere globale Verän-derungen während der letzten Jahrzehnte haben das Arbeitsleben und die Berufsverläufe der Menschen beeinflusst. Als Ergebnis der Globalisierung, die die

“…The work-family discourse linked to the social theory of Parsons and Bales (1954) further privileges relationships located in families. The reality is that just as work cuts across occupational and personal domains, so do relationships (Richardson, 2002). In fact, relationships considered as social networks and social capital are increasingly important in the contexts of market work as indicated in a recent review by Arnold and Cohen (2008).…”

Counselling for work and relationship is proposed as another way of thinking about vocational psychology and vocational guidance. It can contribute to the search for a new paradigm for these fields. Central to this way of thinking are two shifts. A shift from a discourse about career to a discourse about work, and a shift to expand the focus of attention beyond the occupational domain to include multiple social contexts of work and relationship across both occupational and personal domains of life. The ways in which these shifts are responsive to theoretical and social contexts is considered.Résumé. Une autre manière de penser au travail que nous faisons: tenir conseil en vue du travail et de la relation. Tenir conseil en vue du travail et de la relation est proposé comme une autre voie pour penser la psychologie vocationnelle et l'orientation professionnelle. Cette voie peut contribuer à la recherche d'un nouveau paradigme pour ces champs. Cette façon de penser implique deux ruptures essentielles. Le passage d'un discours sur la carrière à un discours sur le travail et le passage à une augmentation de la centration de l'attention au delà du domaine professionnel pour inclure les multiples contextes sociaux du travail et des relations sociales à travers les domaines à la fois professionnels et personnels de la vie. On considère les axes selon lesquels ces ruptures sont sensibles aux contextes théori-ques et sociaux.Zusammenfassung. Eine andere Sichtweise der Arbeit, die wir tun: Beratung ü ber Arbeit und Beziehungen. Eine Beratung für Arbeit und Beziehungen wird hier vorgeschlagen als ein anderer Weg, über Berufspsychologie und Berufliche Beratung nachzudenken. Diese Sichtweise kann zu der Suche nach einem neuen
