Ingela Bergmo Prvulovic’s research interest focuses on the meaning of career and how it is influenced and affected by various changes in working life. Bergmo-Prvulovic is interested in how current transformations in working life affect adults in the workplace and what implications these transformations may have for career guidance practice regarding career related issues for adults.

In her studies, Bergmo-Prvulovic is using multiple levels of analysis, such as the structural level, the individual level and the intermediate level, where the guidance practice is located. Bergmo-Prvulovic’s thesis is divided into four separate studies, with four specific purposes. She uses the theory of social representation as a general theoretical framework.
