Dissertation: Ready for the Change: Strengthening Adaptive Responses to a Looming Career Transition. Today’s world of work requires workers to adapt their careers to ever-changing demands and circumstances. To adapt successfully, they have to be well prepared, see the need, and know the tools for managing their own careers - a possible challenge at all career stages. The dissertation I wrote provides new insights and tools for scholars and practitioners who aim to help workers manage their own careers, prepare for transitions, and adapt successfully. Some people naturally possess the demographic factors or psychological characteristics that make it easier for them to adapt, while others struggle to show the necessary responses. Therefore, effective interventions that can help workers find their own path in the world of work are necessary and should be available to as many people as possible. The outcomes in this dissertation show that it is possible to offer students and workers an efficient, scalable and effective intervention to enhance their abilities to adapt and deal with the changes and transitions they face in their working life.
