3.5. Summary

Motivations for entry are a starting point to explore non-permanent workers’ identification with their work and their development. We see movement of people either becoming more purposeful and strongly self-driven, to becoming jaded, disengaged, and frustrated. This translates into the degree to which an individual is motivated to see and create affordances to grow, leveraging and building on their integrated practice or not. Such motivations are heavily influenced by an individual’s circumstances and how they make meaning or understand their circumstances and prospect in relation to their employment decisions. Acknowledging the role of the individual’s identification with non-permanent work is important when considering learning and development initiatives that should be sensitised to the varying motives and forms of interest in further growth or development.
