Beschreibung

This edited volume on Identities at Work brings together international theory and empirical research that deals with continuity and change of identity formation processes at work under conditions of modern working processes and labour market flexibility.

By bringing together perspectives from sociology, psychology, organisational management and vocational education and training the contributions in this volume connect the debates of skills formation, human resources development and careers with individual¿s work commitment and professional orientations in various ways. With this focus the volume presents a new research perspective based on an interdisciplinary and international approach. We argue that in times of globalisation and rapidly changing work realities such an approach is needed to better understand and analyse what is required to equip and prepare the workforce to meet international labour market demands. In this sense the publication shall serve as a useful resource to researchers and policy makers working in the fields of skills formation, human resources development and organisational management.

Zusammenfassung

The presented interdisciplinary combination of research perspectives outlines a new research field

The content of this book is not linked to particular initiatives or events. It should remain relevant for a significant period of time

Professional identity and commitment are high priority topics in the management sciences

Employees' participation and engagement are high priority topics in labour market politics and organisational development

Skills development and vocational identity as presented in this volume address issues of labour market inclusion and social cohesion

The key issues of identities at work have an international resonance and contributors and issues are drawn from USA, Japan and Australia as well as Europe
