Abstract

Modernization has paved the way for not only the mobility of goods and services but also the mobility of people in working life. Not only single employees but also couples with both careers have been affected by these developments. Employees who do not hesitate to travel to different countries have become valuable human resources for their companies. This study examines a) the career development of spouses who both have international careers, b) the solution strategies used by dual-careers couples (DCC) to solve the problems they face, and c) career coordination strategies (CCS) in the context of Turkey. The study contributes to the literature as it is one of the first studies to address the career coordination strategies of Turkish dual-career couples. Data were collected by conducting online interviews with six dual-careers couples. This study aimed to better understand the career coordination strategies of dual-career couples. Coordination strategies that are used by couples, both of whom have international careers, are examined. It has been shown that career coordination strategies exhibit dynamic characteristics and that these strategies can evolve in different directions over time.

Özet

Modernleşme çalışma yaşamında yalnızca mal ve hizmet hareketliliğine değil aynı zamanda insan hareketliliğine de zemin hazırlamıştır. Bu gelişmelerden sadece bekar çalışanlar değil, her ikisi de kariyer sahibi olan eşler de etkilenmiştir. Farklı ülkelere seyahat etmekten çekinmeyen çalışanlar, firmaları için değerli birer insan kaynağı olmuştur. Bu çalışma a) her ikisi de uluslararası kariyer yapan eşlerin kariyer gelişimlerini, b) çift kariyerli eşlerin (ÇKE) karşılaştıkları sorunları çözmek için kullandıkları çözüm stratejilerini ve c) kariyer koordinasyon stratejilerini (KKS) Türkiye bağlamında irdelemektedir. Çalışma Türk kökenli çifte kariyerli eşlerin kariyer koordinasyon stratejilerini ele alan ilk çalışmalardan biri olmasıyla literatüre katkı sağlamaktadır. Veriler, her ikisi de kariyer sahibi olan altı çiftle çevrimiçi görüşmeler yapılarak toplanmıştır. Bu çalışma, çifte kariyerli eşlerin kariyer koordinasyon stratejilerinin daha iyi anlaşılmasını hedeflemiştir. Her ikisi de uluslararası kariyer yapan eşlerin hangi koordinasyon stratejilerini uyguladıkları irdelenmiştir. Kariyer koordinasyon stratejilerinin dinamik özellik sergilediği ve bu stratejilerin, zaman içinde farklı yönlere de evrilebileceği gösterilmiştir.
