This has led to the phenomenon of career change whereby individuals undertake a shift from one field of work to a completely different field of work. In career change research, career changers have been studied as a collective, singular group undergoing a similar change experience, which neglects individual differences that may contrast the experience of change from one changer to another. Furthermore, the emotional experience that accompanies a career change has been examined with a primary focus on the role of positive emotions, which overlooks the role of negative emotions in career change. Thus, this book sheds light on three key narratives of career change; Rejectors, Navigators and Seekers, that were identified in a phenomenological study of career change amongst Malaysian working adults. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with 30 career changers across age, gender and ethnicity with a focus on how they made sense and meaning of their lived experience of career change within their environment and context. Each career change narrative was found to have different characteristics, motivations and behaviors respectively, which shaped their unique career change process. Negative emotions were also revealed as key drivers of the career change process, although each narrative expressed different types of negative emotions.Finally, the book also introduces an adaptive perspective to career development by way of the Adaptive Career Construal Model (ACCM) which was proposed based on the continuous bi-directional relationship between career decisions and career outcomes. 606 $aPersonnel management 606 $aPsychology, Industrial 606 $aVocational guidance 606 $aHuman Resource Management 606 $aHuman Resource Development 606 $aOrganizational Psychology 606 $aCareer Counseling 606 $aPersonnel Psychology 615 0$aPersonnel management. 615 0$aPsychology, Industrial. 615 0$aVocational guidance. 615 14$aHuman Resource Management. 615 24$aHuman Resource Development. 615 24$aOrganizational Psychology. 615 24$aCareer Counseling. 615 24$aPersonnel Psychology. 676 $a658.3 700 $aTham$b Jennifer Yee Quan$01379166 701 $aChong$b Yit Sean$01379167 701 $aAhmed$b Pervaiz K$0634224 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910735788903321 996 $aA Phenomenology of Career Change in the Malaysian Workforce$93418606 997 $aUNINA
