- Abstract
The purpose of this study was to clarify the characteristics of vocational identity transformation in 23 MBA graduates from a business school in Japan, and to examine the coexistence between workers and organizations. Qualitative analysis using the trajectory equifinality approach (TEA) from the viewpoint of situated learning theory indicated that there were five developmental stages of vocational identity: (1) emerging and settlement, (2) enhancement or stagnation, (3) release, (4) expansion, and (5) creation. In each stage, a person has a different view of work, and workers' belief in the value of their work changes during the expansion stage. Vocational identity starts as being characterized by organizational culture, and transforms into one that is characterized by social scientists as lifelong learning. The results suggest that coexistence between workers and organizations is feasible if the following two issues for workers are settled: (1) development of a boundary trajectory into the business school, with workers' learning beyond official job training, and (2) development of a cross-boundary trajectory between business schools and organizations for the most use of social science, when encouraged as a legitimate practice of organizational membership.
