What do we look for:
We are particularly interested in longitudinal trajectory investigations, with a special focus on their antecedents and outcomes related to career-related behaviors such as career turnover; early career interventions with a focus on career development like mentoring, coaching, or onboarding; holistic quantitative and qualitative investigations of career transitions (pre-transition, during transition, and post-transition); and studies on the consequences of career-related behavior on health and well-being.
We specifically encourage researchers to submit work focusing on underrepresented or stigmatized groups in relation to the aforementioned topics.
