In Japan, frequent job changes have been treated in research studies as an exceptional phenomenon or a problem of the
socially vulnerable. Dissociating from this perspective, this study aims to re-examine the significance underlying
frequent job changes by analyzing the psychological process of a narrative of a man in his 40s, who experienced thirteen
job changes, all done voluntary. As a result, the analysis extracted three distinguishing traits: one’s view of profession
that does not separate personal life from work, not having attachments to a significant regional migration, and an
orientation toward learning from each employment. In addition, the study demonstrated the necessity to examine these
traits from a non-Western cultural perspective. Thereafter, the narrative was further examined. As a result, a new
career model, Zenzai-doji (Sudhana) Career, was constructed using Zenzai-doji as a metaphor, a character that appears
in Kegon-kyo (Avatamsaka-Sutra) sutra, which the Japanese public has been familiar with since old times. Unlike
Western models that focus on individuality, this model is anticipated to contribute to the cultivation of eachness, which
emphasizes relations with the surrounding people.
