Abstract
Scholars suggest that an increasingly dynamic career context has shifted the nature of the psychological contract and led to more self-directed and customized careers. Moreover, research suggests that protean career orientation (PCO) can enable individuals to successfully and independently navigate a global and volatile labor market. As such, this study examines the influence of PCO on the development and acquisition of career capital, through proactive career management behaviors. Further, this study also examines the relationships between career capital and various work and life outcomes, including employability, career success and work-life balance and the contribution of these outcomes to individual well-being. Finally, this study also examines how leadership, adaptability, and a whole-life perspective moderate these processes.
