Hybrid Careers: A Proposed Conceptualization based on an Integrative Literature Review
Abstract
In this article, I conducted an integrative literature review proposing a conceptualization of hybrid careers from the synthesis of existing literature, analyzing its conceptual potential and practical applications. Studies on hybrid careers were extracted from Brazilian (Pepsic, Scielo, Banco de Teses USP, and CAPES) and international (Scopus, Web of Science, and Proquest) electronic databases and were organized and analyzed in an exploratory and descriptive fashion. Nineteen international and nine national publications were identified and analyzed. Findings showed that a hybrid career is an emergent investigation issue. A synthesis concept of a hybrid career would articulate the homogeneity of traditional careers with the heterogeneity of contemporary careers, generating a new configuration potentially able to deal with the heterogeneity and complexity of the multiple roles, tasks, and competencies demanded by working in present times. It configures a helpful strategy for career management to conciliate interests between workers and organizations.
Keywords: career, hybrid, work organization.
