Dr Ricardo Rodrigues

Biography

Ricardo Rodrigues joined King’s College London as a Lecturer in International Human Resource Management in 2015. Prior to this appointment he held positions at Kingston University and Nova School of Business and Economics. 

Ricardo holds a PhD in Management Studies from King's, where he also worked as a researcher. Before becoming an academic Ricardo worked for several years as a human resource manager for public and private organisations in Portugal. Ricardo's core research interests centre on career orientations and career boundaries as a basis for understanding contemporary career dynamics.

His work attempts to go beyond the dominant rhetoric on contemporary careers, namely the idea of the 'boundaryless' career, and offer an evidence-based and theoretically grounded perspective of the nature of career boundaries and of the domains that structure the direction of people’s careers.
