Seeking Challenge in the Career

<p>The Research in Careers series is designed in five volumes to provide scholars a unique forum to examine careers issues in today’s changing global workplace. What makes this series unique is that the volumes are connected by the use of Mainiero and Sullivan’s (2006) Kaleidoscope Career Model (KCM) as the organizing framework and the theme underlying the volumes.</p><p>In Volume 4 of the Research in Careers series the authors explore the influence of challenge on career development and career outcomes.  The contributors investigate career challenge in different national contexts (e.g. India) and in different career fields (e.g. entrepreneurship nursing) and for different groups (nurses Millennials).  The outcomes studied include career satisfaction leadership skills and occupational expertise.  Finally negative effects of challenge are suggested.</p><p> </p>
