The common thread running through all of these models is a shift in the responsibility of career management from the organisation to the individual, as pointed out by Hall (1996) in his concept of protean career management. In this model, the primary responsibility for career management rests with the employee ( under the guidance and facilitation by the organisation), who perceives that advancement in terms of 'psychological success' is achieved through intrinsic learning and 'lateral' movements through interesting jobs (Hall, 1996, 2002; Nicholson, 1996; Brousseau, Driver, Eneroth,& Larsson, 1996). The protean model has been necessitated by the fast changes in technology (leading to skill obsolescence), in the changing nature of jobs (many of which became non-permanent and were outsourced), and in the structuring of organisations (leading to flat structures and fewer positions for promotions).
