“…Second, although scholars acknowledge the conceptual variants of career growth by definition, prior studies have interchangeably used career growth with its related constructs. For instance, scholars use career growth measures to examine career growth potential (Amah and Oyetuunde, 2020) and career growth opportunities (Wanniarachchi et al, 2020). Our study contributes to career growth literature by providing a conceptual clarification regarding the "necessary" and "sufficient" attributes across the variants of constructs related to career growth.…”

“…Prior research has construed variables such as extra-role performance, work engagement (Weer and Greenhaus, 2020), organizational citizenship behavior (Kwan, 2013) as antecedents and turnover intentions (Huang et al, 2017;Ohunakin et al, 2018) and perceived organizational support (Sumathi et al, 2015) as consequences of career growth opportunities. While a few authors have operationalized career growth opportunities with the measures of organizational career growth through career goal progress, promotion speed, professional ability development and remuneration growth (Bashir et al, 2020;Wanniarachchi et al, 2020), others have considered structural and content dimensions of career growth opportunities (Weer and Greenhaus, 2020). Despite its theoretical importance, the lack of a distinct measurement scale has forced researchers to use the organizational career growth scale as a proxy to capture growth opportunities.…”

“…Contextual influences studied as moderators include climate-like constructs, such as innovation climate (Jiang et al, 2020a(Jiang et al, , 2020b, job insecurity climate (Kang et al, 2019), perceptions on organizational politics (Wanniarachchi et al, 2020;Liu et al, 2010) and shared vision (Huang et al, 2017). The career-related moderators examined are career growth (Ingusci et al, 2019), career growth opportunities (Bashir et al, 2020) and perceived alternative job opportunities (Zhu et al, 2020).…”

“…Outcomes. Although it is theoretically robust to examine the effect of career growth opportunities on job outcomes, researchers have mainly focused on intentions such as job pursuit intention (Kumari and Saini, 2018), migration intention (Wanniarachchi et al, 2020) and turnover intentions (Huang et al, 2017;Ohunakin et al, 2018). However, we recommend that scholars investigate the effects of career growth opportunities on intentions for three reasons (Figure 6).…”

Purpose The dynamic career scenario and the significant change from traditionally placing careers in employers’ hands to self-managing one’s careers have sparked profound scholarly interest in career growth. This paper aims to analyze quadricentennial literature on career growth published during the years 1995 through 2020. In this paper, through bibliometric and integrative reviews, the authors address the two critical questions, “what do we know?” and “where should we go?” While the bibliometric review examines the evolution and trends, the integrative review examines the dynamics of conceptual frameworks, primary research foci, research context and quality in research designs and methods. Design/methodology/approach The study adopted preferred reporting items for systematic reviews and meta-analyses guidelines to identify the papers for this review. The data set comprised 102 papers and 60 papers for bibliometric and integrative review, respectively. “CiteSpace” is used for the bibliometric analysis and the template designed by the authors is used for the integrative review. Findings The results present conceptual clarification for career growth and its related constructs. The bibliometric analysis findings highlight the extensive research on career growth followed by organizational career growth and career growth opportunities. The findings also show that seven of the top 10 productive authors are from China. This study also identifies theoretical, conceptual and methodological opportunities and provides recommendations intended to further research engagements across the different aspects of career growth. Originality/value To the best of the authors’ knowledge, this is the first study to introduce bibliometric analysis into career growth literature. This research adopts an integrative review approach and offers insights into career growth literature.

“…На уровне организаций и при поддержке государства привлечению талантов способствуют улучшение условий работы [Wanniarachchi et al, 2022], повышение уровня жизни и предложение большего числа вариантов карьерного роста [Milasi, 2020], инвестиции в научно-исследовательскую сферу, развитие инновационных областей [Siekierski, Lima, Borini, 2018]. Из-за больших затрат для привлечения иностранных специалистов малые и общественные организации оказываются в проигрышном положении [Cameron, Harrison, 2013], и поэтому необходимы определенные меры со стороны государства.…”

This literature review is devoted to the analysis of the existing empirical studies in areas related to Macro Talent Management and its research directions. The study presents a systematic literature review of 150 empirical papers in peer-reviewed journals for the period from 2011 to 2021. Macro Talent Management is a complex phenomenon that combines different interrelated processes at country and organization levels. Socio-economic and cultural macro factors have a significant impact on human capital mobility, which can be represented as talent attraction and retention processes and, therefore, as a component of Macro Talent Management. At the same time, human capital mobility itself influences the indicators of countries and regions’ development at macro level. At country level, talent development requires joint actions of state institutions and organizations, while Macro Talent Management system can affect the countries’ economic indicators. However, it can be concluded that the literature lacks a sufficiently detailed consideration of the implementation of Macro Talent Management system; the impact of characteristics of political regimes and cultural characteristics on formation of Macro Talent Management in different countries is not fully described, as well as the influence of Macro Talent Management on innovative development at macro level is studied generally. This review allows researchers to clarify issues related to the subject of Macro Talent Management and the existing gaps in the literature. As a result of the analysis, we identified several areas for further research. First, it is important to study the mechanisms of inter-level interaction in talent management both in terms of human capital mobility and talent development within a country. It is also necessary to study in detail the influence of political and cultural characteristics in countries as conditions for the implementation of these activities by agents. Finally, the impact of talent management on innovation development at macro level has been studied rather generally, without considering the impact of specific processes on innovation activity of particular countries.
