Abstract (2. Language): 
Sweeping changes in employment relationships and organizational structures have challenged traditional career models and gave way to two emerging paradigms to examine professional careers: the protean and the boundaryless career. During the last decades, researchers and practitioners conducted conceptual and empirical research on new career patterns to explore the impact of boundaryless and protean careers upon individual outcomes, such as subjective and objective career success, adaptability and employability. Nevertheless, we have a limited understanding on how new career orientations affect organizational outcomes (such as, for instance, organizational commitment). Therefore, the objective of this research is twofold: (a) first, to determine whether the protean and the boundaryless career attitudes analysed have any kind of impact on employees’ affective commitment; and (b) second, to offer a guideline to use the fuzzy set methodology to enable conducting research about professional careers
Abstract (Original Language): 
Los cambios sustanciales que se han producido en el marco de las relaciones laborales y en las estructuras organizativas han puesto en tela de juicio el modelo tradicional de carreras profesionales, dando lugar a dos nuevos paradigmas emergentes en el estudio de las carreras profesionales: las carreras proteicas y las carreras nómadas. En las últimas décadas, las investigaciones sobre los nuevos modelos de carreras profesionales han examinado el impacto de las actitudes nómadas y proteicas sobre varios resultados a nivel individual como el éxito subjetivo y objetivo, la adaptabilidad y la empleabilidad. Sin embargo, todavía tenemos una visión restringida sobre la influencia de estas actitudes sobre resultados organizativos como, por ejemplo, el compromiso organizativo. Con el objetivo de profundizar en este tipo de influencias, la investigación se propone: (1) determinar si las actitudes proteicas y nómadas tienen algún impacto sobre el compromiso afectivo de los empleados hacia su organización; y (2) ofrecer una guía de uso de la metodología basada en lógica difusa en las investigaciones sobre carreras profesionales
