Dear colleagues,
On October 13-14, the guest editors of the Journal of Vocational Behavior special issue on "Calling and Careers: New Insights and Future Directions" are organizing a two day mini-conference on the topic of Calling at Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam, The Netherlands. This event aims to stimulate quality submissions for this special issue. Participation in this mini-conference will not be regarded as a requirement for submitting a paper to the special issue, but the conference offers an opportunity for scholars to get quality feedback on a paper prior to its final submission.
To participate in this mini-conference, please send an extended abstract of your paper (max 1,000 words) to Evgenia Lysova (e.lysova@vu.nl) by 27 August. Please indicated "JVB Special Issue Conference" in the subject line.
Please find more information about the conference by visiting www.abri.vu.nl/jvb<http://www.abri.vu.nl/jvb>.
The submissions can address one of the following topics:
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<mailto:e.lysova@vu.nl>).
Looking forward to seeing you in Amsterdam!
Best regards,
Svetlana Khapova
