In different conditions of thesocial environment (historical, geographical, economic, professional and technological, corporate culture of the organization, etc.), the PC phenomenon manifests itself in a peculiar way in its general, special and individual properties. 2. The study and description of the PC phenomenon at its present historical stage involves the development of a conceptual apparatus consistent with the actual tasks being solved. 3. The management of the PC of subjects involves considering the current and future tasks of organizations and the state, the tasks of developing a person as a subject and personality. Methods: historical-theoretical, subject-categorical analysis. Findings. It is stated that the previously proposed approaches and concepts act as prototypes for subsequent concepts with expanding variations in the explanation of the phenomenon; a wide conceptual apparatus is used; discusses awide range of factors that determine the success of a person’s career; there are tendencies to shift theattention of scientists to the cognitive aspects of career choice; at the turn of the XX-XXI century. careermanagement technologies focused on counseling and assistance to representatives of different social groups began to be actively developed; different aspects of the PC are considered in different scales of time and space, but the professional life of a person is not generalized and integrated into the whole; the role of negative circumstances, life and professional crises remains outside the subject field; the career problem is developed mainly within the framework of the paradigm of individual rather than joint activity.
