          Abstract

          The purpose of this introductory chapter is to set the scene for this handbook of research. The authors begin by briefly explaining how different fields within the literature have tended to operate independently. Even within fields, distinct research groups often work in silos, limiting intradisciplinary and interdisciplinary knowledge sharing. Next, the authors introduce and define the construct of ‘sustainable career ecosystems' as an opportunity to provide a framework for a more collaborative research agenda. The chapter concludes by giving a brief overview of the current state of play, identifying some of the challenges, and initiating the process of searching for solutions across the three key sections addressed by this handbook of research, (i) higher education and graduate employability, (ii) organizations and graduate employment, and (iii) sustainable careers and the future of work.

          The Covid-19 crisis as a career shock: Implications for careers and vocational behavior

          The covid-19 pandemic is a career shock for many people across the globe. In this article, we reflect on how insights from the literature on career shocks can help us understand the career consequences of the pandemic and offer suggestions for future research in this area. In particular, we offer three “key lessons”. The first lesson is that the implications of Covid-19 reflect the dynamic interplay between individual and contextual factors. Here, we argue that although the pandemic was difficult to predict and control, research shows that certain psychological resources – such as career competencies and resilience – could make this career shock more manageable. The second lesson is that the pandemic may have differential implications over time, as suggested by research that has shown the consequences of career shocks to differ between short-term vs. long-term time horizons, and across life- and career stages. The third lesson is that, even though the pandemic is clearly a negatively valenced shock for most people, further into the future it may allow for more positive outcomes. This lesson builds on research showing how negative career shocks have long-term positive consequences for some people. We hope that these insights will inspire both scholars and practitioners to study and understand the work and career implications of Covid-19 as a career shock, as well as to support people in dealing with its consequences.
