Abstract
This article proposes a perspective on careers that recognizes the inter-dependencies between work and home over the life course and is particularly suitable to contemporary careers. We first discuss the meaning of a work-home (WH) perspective and elaborate on the economic, organizational, and workforce changes that have affected contemporary careers. We then illustrate the implications of adopting a WH perspective for four streams of scholarship relevant to contemporary careers (career self-management, career success, global careers, and sustainable careers), suggest directions for future research in each area, and discuss the practical implications of adopting a WH perspective. We conclude that contemporary careers can be better understood by considering how employees' home lives influence and are influenced by career processes and that the adoption of a WH perspective requires understanding the role of gender norms in prescribing and sanctioning women's and men's participation in the work and home domains in a given culture.
