The Chaos Theory of Careers: A User's Guide
Bright, Jim E. H.; Pryor, Robert G. L.
Career Development Quarterly, v53 n4 p291-305 Jun 2005
The purpose of this article is to set out the key elements of the Chaos Theory of Careers. The complexity of influences on career development presents a significant challenge to traditional predictive models of career counseling. Chaos theory can provide a more appropriate description of career behavior, and the theory can be applied with clients in counseling. The authors devote particular attention to the application of attractor concepts to careers.
