Chaos, Complexity and COVID-19: The Chaos Theory of Careers in 2022
Pryor, Robert G. L.; Bright, Jim E. H.
Australian Journal of Career Development, v31 n3 p201-205 Oct 2022
In acknowledging the contribution of the Australian Journal of Career Development (AJCD's) continuing work to the career development field, this paper briefly outlines the Chaos Theory of Careers (CTC) and its empirical support. Issues relating to closed and open system validation are canvassed. Two types of COVID-19 case study are analysed: a diary study and the pandemic event itself. COVID-19 confirms the CTC's claim that we all live on the edge of chaos.
