In order to move the research on sustainable careers forward, this professional development workshop brings together leading scholars to share their competencies and experiences with designing state-of-the-art research projects in their respective fields and connect them with the topic of sustainable careers. The goal of this PDW is to create an inventory of various opportunities from different research areas in order to build sound research designs to study sustainable careers. Moreover, the workshop should result in concrete action plans to start doing interdisciplinary research on career sustainability. The format of this PDW is built upon the World Café design principles (Brown & Isaacs, 2010), an approach that encourages participants to raise their views about a particular topic within a relaxed and comfortable setting. The expert speakers will exchange ideas with participants at six different tables: (1) work-nonwork interface, (2) vulnerable groups, (3) aging and retirement, (4) HR practices and policies, (5) individual and organizational career management, and (6) careers in non-standard work. All tables’ participants will discuss opportunities to integrate their disciplines and research designs within the framework of sustainable careers. Across three sessions, the expert speakers and participants will create plans for future research in this area. As such, the workshop will also be an opportunity to create a research network with scholars from various disciplines, including human resources, organizational behavior, and DEI research.

There is no need to register for this workshop beforehand. Please feel free to join us if you are interested in researching sustainable careers, and want to help us craft solid research in this area!
