More specifically, we use Lave and Wenger’s situated learning theory to investigatehow career-embedded proud moments contribute to engineers’ leadership development. Ourteam identified four types of proud moments along with corresponding leadership lessons in thecareer history narratives of 29 senior engineers. This four-part proud moment typology—honingprofessional dexterity, mobilizing teams, realizing values, and driving excellence—illustratesfour distinct ways that engineers can and do institutionalize leadership in their respectiveworkplaces. This finding suggests that proud moments are not only personally

Research shows that it correlates with positiveoccupational outcomes. Specifically, happier employees exhibit higher levels of engagement,improved productivity, greater levels of career satisfaction, and a greater sense of well-being intheir lives [1] – [4]. Singh, Saxenda, and Mahendru find that there is no widely-agreed upon definition ofhappiness in the literature, but they describe it as “a harmonious state where the individual’sphysiological and psychological needs are satisfied in the past, present, and future, leading themto live a meaningful and contented life” [5].
