Inhalt: "Changes in the labour market require people to show more self-management than before if they want to succeed. The present research was conducted to analyze the nomological network of general self-management strategies (i.e., selection of goals; optimization as implementation of goal-pursuing behaviour), specific self-management strategies (i.e., career planning) and central indicators of career success, i.e. objective career success (pay, position), self-referent subjective success (career satisfaction), and other-referent career success (comparative judgement). In a large sample of professionals (N=1185), we found in support of our hypotheses that the generalized strategy of optimization was linked to the domain-specific strategy of career planning, and that domain-specific career planning was directly linked to all outcome measures. The generalized strategy of optimization was directly linked to subjective success, but only indirectly to objective success. The link from self-management to subjective success was independent of objective success. Most interestingly, and in accord with our social comparison assumption, objective success was more closely linked to other-referent success than to self-referent success. Implications for career research and career counselling are discussed." (author's abstract)
Inhalt: "Graduates from institutions of Higher Education do not only hope to get employed and be better paid. Study can also have an impact on employment and work in many respects: facilitating transition to employment, opening up opportunities for demanding, interesting and responsible professional assignments, increasing remuneration and job security, providing opportunities for continuing learning and leading the way to international mobility and visibly international assignments. The book provides a series of detailed analyses of graduate employment and work in comparative perspective. It draws from the survey of graduates from 11 European countries and Japan first published in H. Schomburg und U. Teichler 'Higher Education and Graduate Employment and Work' (2006). In this volume, scholars from twelve countries show how transition to employment, job assignments, employment assessments of the quality of employment and work vary by the graduates' socio-biographic and educational background. It also focuses on experiences during the course of study and competences acquired, international experience, regional background and regions of employment. It demonstrates more substantial differences of the relationships between study and subsequent employment between various countries than previous debates and analyses have suggested."

Inhalt: "Die Hochschulexpansion - mehr Studierende, mehr Absolventen, mehr Promovierte - kratzt offenbar auch an der Doktorwürde. Zu lang, zu alt, zu praxisfern lautet oft das Urteil wenn heute nach dem Nutzen der Doktorhüte gefragt wird. Was kommt nach der Promotion? Was bestimmt den späteren Berufserfolg? Inwieweit lohnt es sich überhaupt zu promovieren? Jürgen Enders und Lutz Bornmann beleuchten die Bedingungen für Promovierte in Hochschule und Beruf und legen auf der Basis einer empirischen Untersuchung die erste vertiefende Analyse der vielfältigen Ausbildungs- und Berufswege von Promovierten vor."
