Telecareer

: antecedents and consequences of strategic career behaviours on iberian teleworkers

Abstract

This study examines the nature, causes and consequences of using strategic career management behaviours on Iberian teleworkers. The objective of this study is to develop an explanatory model of career self-management for teleworkers, using the Kaleidoscope Careers parameters developed by Sullivan and Maineiro (2008) — authenticity, balance and challenge — as the model’s strategic behaviours. This entails examining (a) the role of perceived selfefficacy,desire for career control and perceived organizational control as predictors of strategic career behaviours, and (b) the extent to which strategic behaviours determine perceived career control, objective career success, subjective career success and career satisfaction. The results of this study are intended to provide a framework for human resource development (HRD) programs, directed at aiding newcomers to telework, as a result of Covid-19 measures.
