Transition traverses across different types of boundaries regardless of how major or minor it can be for the individual ( Rensburg and Ukpere, 2014 Masdonati et al., 2022). Additionally, Sullivan and Ariss (2018) explain that this period of transition is where an individual is either changing roles, taking on a different objective, or realigning to a different space ( Sullivan and Ariss, 2018). ![]() Making career transitionsĬareer transition is defined as the period during which an individual shifts to a different work setting or role ( Greer and Kirk, 2022). This transition resulted in job candidates crossing “the boundaries of occupations, industries, organizations, functional areas, countries, and labor markets” ( Sullivan and Al Ariss, 2021, p. This required that job seekers ‘reinvent’ themselves and reevaluate their personal brand ( Gorbatov et al., 2018 Sull et al., 2022). Regardless of the rationale behind the choice to leave or transition, there was hope of finding renewed purpose ( George and Sims, 2007) that better aligned with one’s values. These new opportunities did lead to increased pay ( Serenko, 2022), the ability to step out of the workforce altogether whether the individual intended to return at some point or retire, an attempt to ‘reduce’ personal stress ( Sullivan and Al Ariss, 2019 Parker and Menasce Horowitz, 2022), create a mechanism to leave behind toxic or dysfunctional work cultures ( Sull et al., 2022), and in many instances, pursue and transition into different types of jobs and careers ( Business Information Review, 2022 Serenko, 2022). Although the Parker and Menasce Horowitz (2022) initially identified low pay as the main driver and dissatisfaction in the workplace environment, the stress of the COVID-19 pandemic created a space for employees to step back and reevaluate their purpose and accomplishments, their work environment, and their career path ( Serenko, 2022). ![]() ![]() This shift required potential job candidates to rebrand themselves in advance of making their desired career transition ( Gorbatov et al., 2018, 2019). The Great Resignation also accelerated this transition to a knowledge economy, or a consumption system that is based on intellectual capital ( Serenko, 2022). The Great Resignation in its own way is an impetus to an organizing principle which explains a carefully choreographed phenomenon or ‘perfect storm’ that created an extensive labor shortage and introduced significant implications for how organizations serviced their customers, especially those in knowledge intensive, service, healthcare, and manufacturing industries where attrition rates were at an all-time high (see Figure 1) and surged anywhere from 2 to 40% ( Serenko, 2022 The Bureau of Labor Statistics, 2022). Anthony Klotz of Texas A&M (at the time) as the mass exodus of employees leaving their jobs in search of new opportunities ( Serenko, 2022). In 2021, employers began posting nearly 10.6 million jobs in an average month creating a worldwide shortage for talent ( Davidson, 2022). Starting with what would be coined the Great Resignation, 4.5 million people per month or nearly 3% of the workforce voluntarily resigned from their job and/or company in the hopes of finding a different role or changing their career path completely ( Davidson, 2022).Ĭareer is defined as a set of events or experiences occurring over a person’s work life ( Rensburg and Ukpere, 2014). ![]() According to The Work Trend Index (2021), 46% of the career transitioning population decided to make changes to jobs outside of their industry or field ( Serenko, 2022). This behavior began to radically shift in 2021 as the economic recovery started, businesses began reopening and increasing their capacity, and new skilled and knowledge jobs appeared at an unprecedented rate. Introduction – The impetus for career changeĭuring the first wave of COVID-19, in early 2020, the Bureau of Labor Statistics stated that most employees stayed in their jobs due to (quarantine) lockdowns and the uncertainty of impending layoffs ( Serenko, 2022). ![]()
