The new dynamics of career self-management: a study with remote workers

We analyse a career self-management model for remote workers by exploring the nature, causes and consequences of strategic career behaviours. Perceived self-efficacy and desire for career control are predictors of strategic career behaviours, and these behaviours determine career satisfaction, but not perceived career control nor objective or subjective career success. Also, perceived organizational support predicts perceived self-efficacy and career satisfaction, and self-efficacy predicts subjective career success which, in turn, is associated with career satisfaction. Workplace renovation is needed to accommodate the new forms of remote working and to develop new career management strategies to reinforce the motivation of remote employees.
