“…These written narrative summaries in goal-directed language are helpful in identifying the joint project in which participants are engaged. They have been found to resonate with participants' experience, but serve to affirm the participants' joint projects (e.g., Young et al, 2022b). 5.…”

“…CAT is a conceptual and research approach to vocational psychology based on the notion that human action is intentional and goal-directed, although not necessarily rational (e.g., Young & Domene, 2019; Young & Valach, 2000, Young et al, 2002, 2015a, 2019, 2021). This framework has provided the basis for applications to practice (e.g., Young et al, 2020; Young, Domene, Chiang et al, 2020; Young, Domene, Pradhan et al, 2022b) and research in the career field (e.g., Wall et al, 2020; Young et al, 2011).…”

“…CAT has been used to frame research questions and inform practice in a number of areas related to career, for example, enhancing clinical practice with diverse populations (Young et al, 2019; Young et al, 2022a), career counseling generally (Young, 2017), and for emerging adults (Domene et al, 2019), for transition projects, including career, for new immigrants (Young et al, 2022b). All these topics reflect the broad understanding of Guichard's (2022) and Arendt's (1958) active lives.…”

The field of career development faces challenges in light of the significant ecological, economic, and political changes occurring globally. In response to these challenges, Guichard (2022) identified the need for new conceptual frameworks and interventions in the career field consistent with Arendt's (1958) broad perspective of action and the active life rather than simply making smooth transitions to occupations. In this article, contextual action theory is proposed as one alternative approach that addresses some of these issues regarding reconceptualizing career theory and practice. Specifically contextual action theory focuses on goal-directed action, provides a theoretical connection between action and career, incorporates social context, and provides a new framework for interventions. Specific approaches to career interventions and counseling are provided.

The interconnectedness of global economies and workforces have influenced the mobility of people between countries and their career development. Researchers need to consider contextual influences on international career transitions and select a methodology that illuminates peoples’ meaning making of diverse experiences. In this critical review, we reflect on Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis (IPA), through describing the theoretical underpinnings and practical applications, including the seven indications and six contraindications of the IPA process. Overall, IPA seems to have strong applicability for research with people experiencing international career transitions, particularly because of the solid philosophical and human sciences basis, representation of shifts in meaning-making, and consideration of individuals’ unique transition contexts and diverse experiences. Researchers are invited to consider some hesitations in the IPA process, such as challenges in creating deep interpretations in data analysis and distinguishing whose interpretations are represented in the findings. Future research considerations are suggested to advance theoretical and practical applications, including a summary evaluation of the IPA process to inform researchers’ decision-making.
