“…In this regard, pro-active career behaviour includes the ability to employ a range of psychological career resources such as being behaviourally adaptable and fl exible in dealing with more frequent career transitions; having a sense of calling regarding one's career; having a sense of awareness of one's career preferences, values and motives; and demonstrating positive core self-evaluations, self-management skills, relationship skills and emotional literacy (Briscoe & Hall, 1999;Coetzee, 2008;Hall & Chandler, 2005;Judge, Bono, Erez & Locke, 2005;Kuijpers & Scheerens, 2006).

Although a vast majority of career-related studies conducted continue to focus on the external organisational factors and material incentives related to career progression and career success (Herr et al, 2004), other researchers seem to increasingly emphasise more subjective measures of career success (Arnold & Cohen, 2008).…”
