Tiivistelmä
The purpose of this study is to research elements of career management theory and practice since there have been quite radical changes in career structures during the last three decades. The biggest issue is the shift from stable organisational careers developed in only one organisation to
boundaryless careers characterised by short-term contracts, working in several organisations and selfmanagement. The influences of these changes are discussed and also criticism of the recent implications is brought up. Furthermore psychology is discussed in the context of linking personality and career success. This is a qualitative study where secondary data has been collected from the resources of University of Wolverhampton during spring 2009. The study concludes that in career management practices both organisations and individuals still play a significant role. It has been found that the new career structures create some inequalities. Another issue is that some further theoretical development is necessary.
