This paper aims to move the research field on sustainable careers forward by building conceptual clarity about what a sustainable career means and delineating what distinguishes sustainable from ...non-sustainable careers, thereby providing key indicators of a sustainable career. Moreover, we approach sustainable careers from a systemic and dynamic perspective and address influential factors associated with stakeholders situated in multiple contexts and evolving over time. We elaborate on core theoretical frameworks useful for enhancing our understanding of what makes careers sustainable and present three key dimensions that can help to analyze and study sustainable careers: person, context, and time. Finally, we propose a research agenda that we hope will spur scholars to examine the topic in more detail in future empirical work.

The Fourth Industrial Revolution creates increasing demands for workers with new skill sets. Since studies on career adaptability and its antecedents among workers have received less research ...attention, we examined the level of career adaptability and factors on career adaptability in the Fourth Industrial Revolution. Data were collected from 612 workers in Binh Duong province in Vietnam. Findings showed that workers in Binh Duong province were highly adapted to the impact of the Fourth Industrial Revolution. Findings also indicated that a collective significant effect was found in low socioeconomic status, unhealthiest, low skill and no vocational training, and difficulty in establishing relationships with colleagues and managers. In contrast, a collective significant effect was not found in low awareness of work changes due to the Forth Industrial Revolution, low qualification and experience, and old ages. We have discussed the implications and limitations of our findings.
