경력 자본과 경력 아비투스: 경력과 일터학습

초록

Career studies have developed different theoretical and practical research interests based on perspectives from different disciplines. In Korean research context, it has been divided into two stages of the time of career preparation and individual’s career lives after entrance to occupation, which has developed two different terms. This study raised the need of theoretical perspective which emphasizes the dialectic relationship between individuals and career context in order to overcome the dualistic view on individual career and social environments. Especially recent career theories have focused on individual efforts of career development based on out-of-organizational career context. Those views are based on the idea of lifelong learning of individuals as important career competencies and stress the importance of lifelong learning in the workplace. However, the essential meaning of lifelong learning lies in the proactive career identity development by relationship within career context, not in the process of adaptation into career. For this purpose, this study explored the dynamic relationships between career field and individual agents using the sociological terms of Pierre Bourdieu: field, capital, and habitus. More specifically, this study explained the significances of those terms in career study by exploring; how Bourdieu’s concepts of field and capital are related to career study, what meanings and implications habitus bring to career context, and how learning for career development in the workplace are related to career capital and career habitus. Those implications to lifelong learning and workplace learning are discussed.
