这项研究测试了职业嵌入性和无边界职业态度，作为对以前以终身雇佣而闻名的职业稳定性和流动性的补充解释。现任和前任澳大利亚教师和警察 (n = 315) 完成了一项关于其职业生涯的在线调查。与假设一致，逻辑回归分析证实，与嵌入相关的变量（例如经济责任和年龄）预测会做出积极决定留在所选职业，而无边界的职业态度则预测会离开该职业以改变职业。与假设相反，职业生涯年数预测了流动性的历史，而职业特定教育年数并没有增加模型的预测效用。总体而言，研究结果部分支持了对职业稳定性和流动性的补充解释。通过纳入现任和前任职业成员，并确定职业行为的预测因素，这项研究有助于更深入地了解以前终身职业的变化性质。
This study tested occupational embeddedness and boundaryless career attitudes as a complementary explanation for career stability and mobility, in occupations previously known for lifetime employment. Current and former Australian teachers and police officers (n = 315) completed an online survey about their careers. Consistent with the hypothesis, logistic regression analyses confirmed that embeddedness-related variables such as financial responsibility and age predicted having made an active decision to stay in the chosen occupation, and boundaryless career attitudes predicted having left that occupation to change careers. Contrary to the hypothesis, years in the career predicted a history of mobility and years of career-specific education did not add predictive utility to the model. Overall, the findings partially supported the complementary explanation for career stability and mobility. By including current and former occupational members, and identifying predictors of career behavior, this study contributed to deeper understanding of the changing nature of previously lifelong careers.
