The recent increase in role transitions both within and beyond organizational boundaries necessitates a nuanced understanding and effective management of these movements for individual and organizational success. This symposium is anchored in research on role transitions and explores diverse perspectives on employee transitions, featuring four papers that investigate the complexity and strategy needed to manage these transitions. The first two papers delve into employees' active role in shaping their mobility, emphasizing the job-seeking strategies within organizations and likelihood of boomeranging back to an organization. The second two papers shift the focus to organizational management of employee transitions, exploring restraints and support for mobility through one paper on post-employment restrictive covenants and another paper on a structured offboarding programs. J.R. Keller, an esteemed discussant, will integrate themes and takeaways, offering valuable insights for research on employee transitions within and beyond organizational boundaries. This symposium aims to inform both researchers and practitioners, fostering a deeper understanding of the intricacies of managing individual role transitions and providing practical implications for talent management in dynamic organizational environments.
