    Dear colleagues,

     

    Are you interested in joining the interdisciplinary conversation about Calling and Careers and excited to discuss the questions stated below?!

    Then consider joining the mini-conference associated with the JVB Special Issue on "Calling and Careers: New Insights and Future Directions".

    The mini-conference will take place on October 13-14 in Amsterdam (the Netherlands). Please find more information about it in the attached flyer or by visiting www.abri.vu.nl/jvb.

     

    v  What do we know and what do we still need to learn about individual predictors of calling and its career-related consequences?

    v  Which factors and conditions determine positive and negative outcomes of calling?

    v  How does calling evolve over time? And, through what mechanisms does calling influence career development over time?

    v  How do others in our work context and outside the work context influence individuals' experience and definition of calling?

    v  How do different societies (professional, cultural, or regional/national) define and experience calling, and what implications does this have for individual careers?

    v  How does social context, including working in teams, working in specific industries, and/or working in flexible or traditional work spaces, influence individual experiences of calling, and consequently their careers?

     

    If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact Evgenia Lysova (e.lysova@vu.nl).

    Looking forward to seeing you in Amsterdam!

     

    Best regards,

    Evgenia Lysova
