“…And regarding the implications for career theory, our results highlight the importance, in line with lifespan perspectives, of considering individual and contextual factors contributing to life-long career development (Nagy et al, 2019) and sustainable employability (Alcover et al, 2021), as well as considering the mid- and late-stage careers as a series of transitions to retirement, rather than an abrupt change in life status (Bordia et al, 2020; Wang et al, 2013).
