The boundaryless career: A competency‐based perspective
Abstract
This paper proposes a competency‐based view of careers, derived from competency‐based models of employer firms. The implications for boundaryless careers are explored by reference to changing organizational, occupational and industry community contexts. All of these contexts are seen as likely to promote boundaryless career behaviors. Future research possibilities for each of three career competencies, and for interdependence among the competencies, are briefly examined.

“…disregard for the external sourcing of talent, is at odds with an increasing realization that careers are more regularly characterized by inter-firm mobility in the current environment (DeFillippi and Arthur, 1994) and reduced identity with jobs and work settings (Weick and Berlinger, 1989).”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
