“…These can be inner satisfaction, life balance, autonomy, freedom, or other measures of self-perception (e.g. Baruch, 2004;Karima et al, 2022) or can be defined, for example, through individual, social, and work-related roles (see Rautio, 2022).…”

This research explores career development in the construction industry. By showcasing the career narratives of managers of construction sites (N=21), the research unfolds which elements are significant in influencing career development and aims to increase the possibilities for construction workers to flourish in their careers and help make such careers more attractive. The career narratives were analyzed in two phases. First, the analysis of narratives showed that except for the various career experiences, the proximity of construction sites in the interviewees’ managerial career goals differentiated the narratives. Second, as a result of narrative analysis, three construction managerial career paths were identified: I) devotion to construction site management, II) interest in versatile construction projects, and III) passion for leadership. Career development could be viewed from the perspective of various capitals which emerge in the narratives. The interviewees brought up societal and economic changes that challenged or boosted their careers or even caused them to change direction. Career goals might not have been achieved as such if they were not enabled by external factors, such as organizational, economic, societal, or location-related issues or favorable coincidences. The participants found favorable options and solutions for career development by drawing on their social and psychological resources. Social capital supported career choice and career development, whereas psychological capital appeared as, for example, optimism, perseverance, and an ability to follow one’s calling.

In the rapidly changing world of work, more research is needed on the impact of organization-level factors on personal-level work engagement and the mediating mechanisms between them. In this study, we adopted an organization-level perspective to work engagement, applying the positive organizational PRIDE theory as the research framework. The purpose of this research was to investigate the levels of work engagement among employees working in the public sector in North Finland and their association with the positive organizational PRIDE index. The following research question guided the research: What is the relationship between the PRIDE index and work engagement? This was a quantitative survey-based study, in which the data were collected through an online survey. The data collection occurred between October 6, 2020, and February 3, 2021, among public organization employees (N=606 respondents). The factors of PRIDE were analyzed using principal component analysis (PCA). Further, the analysis focused on the connections between background factors and PRIDE and work engagement. A t-test and one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) were used to determine the statistical significance between different groups. The results of this study indicated that there was at least a moderate correlation between all PRIDE index elements and work engagement, and each element of the index was associated with work engagement. When considering the entire index, the correlation was strong. Based on the results of this study, we recommend that the observation, identification, and utilization of strengths be systematically supported through leadership and organizational practices.

Considerations and Characteristics of the Millennial Leader in Today’s Global Society

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Ascension is defined by the act of rising to an important position. This chapter identifies rationales, opportunities, and principles for millennial leaders to consider during the ascension phase. Essential points in this chapter include strategizing ascension, realizing opportunity within one's current role, and building credentials. In addition, the chapter also reassesses one's professional network, academic journey, and the notion of chasing a specific title. For millennials, the next step in their career is a cognitive choice that places ideals of lifestyle and work-life balance at the forefront of their decision to ascend. Millennial ascension is more about the impact on who they are serving over the effects on one's own career or finances.
