“…A key focus within the academic literature surrounding the psychological contract has been on academia itself (Rousseau, 1990). Several authors including Costa and Oliveira (2022), Gu et al (2021), Moussa (2019) and Sewpersad et al (2019) have all recently considered the psychological contract of academics in response to the changing face of academia. Key to this is changing perceptions of the role of the academic, as well as changing individual expectations and aspirations that the role entails.…”

This paper considers the career paths of four academics at different stages in their career, examining key aspects in the trajectory of their journey to where they are now. The paper considers a range of key issues, pitfalls and barriers, and challenges they have faced in order to provide an insight into the differing journeys that academics may take. The research uses a combined auto-ethnographic and reflective approach to gather and interpret the experiences of the four individuals, in essence developing a reflective account on their personal journeys. The four academics were specifically chosen based on their different career paths, providing important opportunities to develop more in-depth reflective accounts of their stories. While they have all taken different trajectories, findings suggest significant overlap exists around issues such as imposter syndrome, psychological contract and identity. These issues, it would appear, have an interrelated impact upon the individual and, as such, cannot be separated effectively. The paper contributes to understandings of how academic careers progress, and may provide invaluable guidance to new entrants, or those considering entry into the world of academia.

Today, change and challenges are growing daily for managers. Having the ability to adjust quickly and retain talent to ensure the achievement of objectives and competitive advantage is critical. Internal communication is an internal practice that can be used strategically by the manager to improve several advantages for the employees and the organizations. Internal communication corresponds to all the ways of transmitting information, ideas, or emotion from different channels, like intranet, social media, and several others. Happiness at work is a powerful strategy that brings involved and committed employees to the organizations. This is a subjective construct in a way that depends on individual judgment. The authors develop a conceptual study that seeks to establish a relationship between IC and happiness at work. Both constructs were explored individually and listed the advantages. A final section was added to explore the relationship between the constructs, essentially through the advantages of both constructs.

Uncertainty, innovation, competitive advantage, globalization, and digitalization are some of the changes that have forced managers to rethink the way they manage their organizations. So, management models are beginning to emerge, focusing on human capital (employees). Happiness management arose as a new form of organizational culture, and the main objective is to ensure the well-being of employees by promoting positive experiences/emotions in the workplace. Artificial intelligence combines the ability to learn similarly to humans, with an even more extensive capacity than humans. Although its effects on employees still divide opinions, what is certain is that innovation in this area is increasingly common in organizations in a broad field.
