摘要
通过扎根理论研究方法,以及借鉴生涯混沌理论视角,对31位处于典型混沌状态的生涯中期转换者展开深度访谈和跟踪,并进行了大量二手数据分析研究。研究结果表明,生涯中期跨界呈现出"不确定性""偶然性""非线性"和"目的性"4种混沌特征;混沌背后存在有序的结构,即由6种生涯跨界过程模式构成的"生涯跨界吸引子系统";不同类型吸引子之间存在着动态转换关系。
Using the grounded theory method,the present study is based on The Chaos Theory of Careers and focuses on 31 Mid-Career Changers who are in the typical chaotic status.Based on primary data in terms of in-depth interviews and focusing groups as well as secondary data during over 3 years,this study proposes the conclusions as follows:4 chaotic properties,namely,Uncertainty,Career Chance,Nonlinear,Purpose emerged from the process of Mid-Career Boundary Crossing.Besides,this study illustrates the structure and 6 patterns of the chaotic process,which forms the concept of Constellation of Career Boundary-Crossing Attractors and furthermore discuss the dynamics between the different Attractors as well.
