Proactive behavioral orientation of a subject as a process of investing in career capital in the world of “boundaryless careers”

Abstract

The contemporary social configuration opens for individuals the range of numerous possibilities of career construction. The contemporary study in the subject of career orders to take into account the process of investing in the career capital that aims at making a subject oriented towards proactivity. Being active in the contemporary reality means constantly adapting to the changing context of an individual career construction and the new way of thinking about career means being a manager of the knowledge about yourself and the construction of your career portfolio. A subject’s career proactivity as a cognitive practice that is embodied in a continuous manner will be “a building material” to form the following features: looking for a change, seeing possibilities, creating situations, showing initiative and taking action. Looking at this issue from this perspective, the study of career is actually both, the study of individual changes and the changes in the society.
