career change  

Definition(s)

  • Career change has been alternatively defined as any major change in work role requirements or work context or as a process that may result in a change of job, profession, or one's orientation to work while continuing in the same job. Here, career change refers to a subset of work role transitions that include a change of employers, along with some degree of change in the actual job or work role and the subjective perception that such changes constitute a “career change.” Examples of career changes include interfirm, interindustry, and intersector transitions or occupational changes, as, for example, when a litigator leaves law to run a nonprofit organization, a corporate employee starts his or her own business, a government official enters private industry, or a consultant becomes a movie producer.
