Varieties and Commonalities of Career Transitions: Louis' Typology Revisited.

Bruce, Reginald A.; Scott, Susanne G.

Journal of Vocational Behavior, v45 n1 p17-40 Aug 1994

Findings suggest that effects of exit transitions (retirement, resignation) are qualitatively different from those of other events. (SK)
