The New Career Contract: Developing the Whole Person at Midlife and Beyond.

Hall, Douglas T.; Mirvis, Philip H.

Journal of Vocational Behavior, v47 n3 p269-89 Dec 1995

The new "career contract" moves from organization-based careers to protean or self-based careers. The contemporary work environment demands the metaskills of identity development and heightened adaptability. Career stages now involve cycles of continuous learning rather than retraining, a way to tap the potential of older workers. (SK)
