Psychological success and the boundaryless career

Abstract The boundaryless career could be a bane or boon to people's experience of psychological success. This paper describes the contours of the boundaryless career and then looks at how workers will have to deal with aging over several career cycles, integrate diverse experiences into their identities, and come to terms with new types of employer‐employee relationships. This introduces the idea of finding psychological success in one's life work, encompassing not only a job and an organization, but also work as a spouse, parent, community member, and as a self‐developer.
