Abstract

Work plays an essential role in career development and in achieving higher levels of life satisfaction for individuals with or without disability. It can be in fact considered as both a place for socialization and an instrument that helps people define their role in the society, thus contributing to the development of a better self-image and, therefore, to higher levels of self-esteem. Based on a Life Design approach, the present chapter focuses on career adaptability and career resilience as positive resources effective in coping with current unpredictable and unstable work contexts and in promoting social and work participation of people with as well as without disability. Suggestions to improve career adaptability and career resilience and to achieve a better quality of life will be also provided.
