Subsequently, the data were submitted to narrative analysis using the Atlas.ti software and then interpreted using sustainable career’s dimensions and characteristics.Findings: The study corroborates the literature on entrepreneurship, sustainability, and careers, shedding new light on the career decision process of sustainable entrepreneurs from the assumptions of the sustainable career perspective. We identified the emergence of influential categories as a disorienting dilemma, the importance of agency and meaning dimensions and the career coherence with values, quality of life, and self-fulfillment. In addition, sustainable entrepreneurship appears to be in line with the ideals of decent work, allowing for individual well-being, matching life and career values, and long-term employability.Originality: The sustainable career perspective offers an innovative, dynamic, and systemic perspective to understanding the professional trajectories of sustainable entrepreneurs, considering their learning along their trajectory, crossing different social spaces, experiences, and creations, which allow them to improve the adaptability necessary for the sustainability of their careers. 2022 artículo científico 1983-4659 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=273473589005 https://www.redalyc.org/journal/2734/273473589005/ https://www.redalyc.org/journal/2734/273473589005/html/ https://www.redalyc.org/journal/2734/273473589005/273473589005.epub https://www.redalyc.org/journal/2734/273473589005/movil 10.5902/1983465970062 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=2734 Revista de Administração da Universidade Federal de Santa Maria application/pdf Universidade Federal de Santa Maria Revista de Administração da Universidade Federal de Santa Maria (Brasil) Num.3 Vol.15 |
