Call for unpublished data on career success

  • 1.  Call for unpublished data on career success

    Dear colleagues,

    My co-authors Tim Hall, Tim Vantilborgh and I are in an advanced stage of
    conducting a meta-analysis on career success. We are specifically
    interested in the relationship between (different operationalizations of)
    objective and subjective career success, and which measures are used for
    testing which type of research questions.

    We have completed an extensive search of the published literature and are
    now seeking unpublished empirical studies and data in this topic area.

    In order to ensure that the meta-analysis is as comprehensive as possible
    (and to avoid publication bias), we are now looking for any conference
    papers, dissertations, working papers, or forthcoming papers that cover
    aspects of career success. Perhaps you have datasets that contain measures
    of objective career success, subjective career success, or both. We would
    be very interested in further exploring the measurement of career success
    in as many datasets as possible.

    If you have data that you are willing to share, please send copies of any
    documents to nicky.dries@econ.kuleuven.be with information how you would
    like to have the study cited in the manuscript. Feel free to contact us if
    you have any further questions!

    Many thanks in advance for your assistance in this exciting project.
    Apologies for any cross-postings.
