“…The industry and occupational level Currie et al (2006) explain that some industries are more boundaryless than others, such as the film industry, IT, and biotechnology. For example, studies within the film industry (DeFillippi and Arthur, 1998) and pop music (Zwaan et al, 2010) have focused on how careers influence, and are influenced by, project-based work activities and social networks. Similarly, in Littleton et al's (2000) research, which highlighted how the boundaryless career was evident in the Silicon Valley and in the independent film-making industry.…”

Talent management (TM) is a growing field that concentrates on optimizing human resources so that they provide a sustained competitive advantage to organizations. While successful TM practices are widely understood to include career development, the topics of careers and TM remain largely disconnected in the human resource management (HRM) literature. In this conceptual paper, we review the traditional and boundaryless career literature from a multi‐level perspective, in order to theoretically develop TM, which to date has been consistently described as under‐theorized. We contend that consideration of the functioning of careers within and across individual, network, organization, industry, occupation, and national/global structures is important when developing effective TM practices. To further understand the relationship between careers and TM, this paper develops researchable propositions for future studies, supported by the existing literature.

“…As Inkson (2006) notes, "the paradox might be that the more the career protagonist stays the same (on the inside) the more he or she has a firm base around which to change (in adapting to different roles)" (p. 59). Dealing with uncertainty, setbacks, and constantly shifting opportunities requires artists to have a strong personal compass-a sense of what makes them tick, what they are good at, and what network of enterprises or projects will best sustain their career (Gruber, 1988;Zwaan, ter Bogt, & Raaijmakers, 2010). The elements of this identity include answers to such questions as "Who am I?"…”

The last two decades of research and policy discussion have illuminated important changes in both the opportunities and challenges facing artists and artistic workers as they pursue their careers and advance their artistry. The authors argue that artists need to be masters of navigating across historically disparate domains, for example, specialization and generalist skills, autonomy and social engagement, the economy's periphery and the core, precarious employment and self-directed entrepreneurialism, and large metro centers and regional art markets. In addition, artists both work beyond existing markets and create entirely new opportunities for themselves and others. As catalysts of change and innovation, artistic workers face special challenges managing ambiguity, developing and sustaining a creative identity, and forming community in the context of an individually based enterprise economy.

“…For the permanently employed, these issues are mostly taken care of by employers and/or management. Zwaan et al (2010) argue that artists in general have always faced high degrees of physical and psychological challenges because they are most used to project-based work and often face the uncertainty of having permanent employment. Menger (2001) argues that the artist has historically been challenged by a highly competitive and fast changing labor market that is similar to the changes we are now seeing in other forms of industry today.…”

Background: Research indicates that there is a higher degree of mental health problems, family/work conflicts and sleep-related problems among workers in creative occupations than in other professions. Research also reveals that musicians have to deal with a relatively high degree of occupational stress. There is, however, a lack of research investigating the qualities of freelance musicians' psychosocial work environment, as well as possible protective factors for maintaining good mental health. Methods: Based on 12 in-depth interviews, we used a template analysis to examine the unique characteristics of the professional life of freelance pop and rock musicians. Results: Using the job demands-resources model as a conceptual framework, we found that an unpredictable future, threats to the family/work balance and significant amounts of external pressure were three broad contextual demands facing freelance musicians. Social support from family, fellow band members, audiences and their professional network, as well as having adequate personal resources such as entrepreneurial skills, value-anchored flexibility, tolerance for ambiguity and dedication to music making were described as important for managing life as a freelance musician. Conclusions: Musicians' psychosocial work environment and health seem to be related to the three overarching protective factors also described in resilience research: namely personal dispositions, family coherence and social resources.
