Abstract
Joseph L. Rotman School of Management, University of Toronto, Mississauga, Ontario, Canada Cox School of Business, Southern Methodist University, Dallas, Texas, U.S.A. I know not what the successe wil be my Lord, but the attempt I vow. Shakespeare: All’s Well that Ends Well A cursory search of the literature yields literally thousands of books and articles about career success in one form or another. Even when the search is narrowed to social science journal articles combining ‘career’ and ‘success,’ well over 1000 ‘hits’ can be obtained from sources such as ISI’s Social Sciences Citation Index and PsycINFO. Perhaps this should not be any great surprise, considering how central the word ‘success’ is to life in Western society. Few questions stop one in one’s tracks as effectively as: ‘Am I successful?’, ‘Have I been a failure?’, or ‘What has been the price of my success?’ Career success, then, looks as if it is much studied and well understood. So why this special issue? One reason is hinted at by the quotation at the head of this introduction. Shakespeare’s use of the word ‘success’ is ambiguous, as beï¬ts its derivation from the Latin: succedere, to succeed or follow (Webster, 1996).
