Abstract
Elbe begins by describing the concept of employography, which he sees as a person’s personal work biography. The motivation for such a concept appears to be in response to the changing psychological contract between employer and employee (cf. Morrison and Robinson 1997). Employment is no longer understood to be certain or long-term, and in response, the individual looks to him or herself as a source of meaning for behavioral choices.
