| Abstract | In a rapidly changing world of work, little research exists on mid-career transitions. We investigated these using the open-systems approach of chaos theory as a guiding metaphor and conducted interviews with seven mid-career individuals chosen for their experience of a significant mid-career transition. Four common themes were identified through narrative analysis, where "false starts" to a career were a common experience prior to finding a career "fit". Career transitions, precipitated by a trigger state and/or event such as a period of disillusionment, were an important part of this "finding a fit" process. Overall, career success outcomes were shaped by a combination of chaos elements: chance, unplanned events, and non-linearity of resultant outcomes. We discuss implications for future research and practice. (Contains 1 table.) (As Provided). |
