Changes in the labor market and organizations: Job retention challenges and professional mobility

This article examines the impacts of the changes in the labor market and organizations as well as their effects on women executives' job retention and professional mobility. This research is rooted in a qualitative approach based on 51 individual interviews with female executives. The results reveal that the work of women executives is organized around financial goals and could entail risks such as loss of meaning. In these contexts, women developpe resistance or collaboration strategies to integrate and stay at work. These strategies have consequences on their professional mobility. (C) 2020 AIPTLF.
