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.
