Abstract

Im vorliegenden Beitrag werden individuelle Vorstellungen von Karriere und karrierebezogenem Handeln analysiert und typisiert. Angeknuepft wird an die Diskussion, inwiefern „Einheitsmodelle“ von Karriere ausgedient bzw. jemals umfassende Gueltigkeit besessen haben. Im Zuge der Forschungsdiskussion traditioneller und moderner Karrieren wird deutlich, dass eine objektive und strukturelle Sicht auf Karrieren notwendigerweise um eine subjektive Sicht ergaenzt werden muss, um dem Phaenomen „Karriere“ gerecht zu werden. Es scheint notwendig, den Verlauf von Karrieren sowohl als Ergebnis des Denkens und Handelns des Einzelnen als auch eingebettet in und beeinflusst von einem sozialen Kontext zu verstehen. In der qualitativen Studie wird auf der Datenbasis von 83 narrativen Interviews analysiert, wie der Einzelne sein persoenliches „Karriere-Projekt“ konzipiert und durchlaeuft. Die Ergebnisse werden zu fuenf Idealtypen des Karrieredenkens und -handelns verdichtet, charakterisierend beschrieben und entlang der Modi Orientierung, Entscheidung, Selbsteinschaetzung und Steuerung differenziert. (In this paper, individual perceptions of careers and career-related action are analyzed and clustered into different types. With respect to both organizations and individuals, there is an intense debate on whether “standard models” of the career have lost, or indeed ever enjoyed, comprehensive validity. The recent academic debate on traditional and modern careers shows that an objective and structural view of careers needs to be supplemented by a subjective perspective. It seems necessary to understand the course of careers both as a result of individuals’ perceptions and actions as well as embedded in and influenced by social contexts. In our qualitative study, we analyze data based on 83 narrative interviews of how individuals conceive and follow through with their individual “career project”. We condense the results into five ideal types of career thinking and action, characterize these types, and distinguish between them along the modes orientation, decision-making, self-assessment and control.)
