BELLO, Marina Pereira de Souza; MACHADO, Jéssica Santos and OLIVEIRA, Manoela Ziebell de. Outcome expectations of entrepreneurs and self-employed individuals in career transition. Rev. bras. orientac. prof [online]. 2023, vol.24, n.2, pp.241-252. Epub Oct 25, 2024. ISSN 1984-7270. https://doi.org/10.26707/1984-7270/2023v24n0211.
This article investigated the extrinsic and intrinsic outcome expectations of professionals transitioning from corporate employment to becoming entrepreneurs or self-employed individuals. In 2022, the authors conducted a systematic literature review following the PRISMA protocol, evaluating fourteen articles obtained from Scopus, Web of Science, PsycInfo, Lilacs, and Scielo databases. The main extrinsic outcome expectations identified were the pursuit of work-life balance. The main intrinsic outcome expectations were the pursuit of autonomy and satisfaction. Understanding both sets of outcome expectations can assist professionals in the investigated transition processes and help organizations develop strategies to retain professionals relevant to the business.
Keywords : professional aspirations; career choice; professional development; career planning; social cognitive career theory.
