Study Notes
Career Counseling Theories
- P-E fit framework is widely used in vocational guidance and personnel selection, linked to positive work outcomes.
- Despite growing interest in other counseling frameworks, the dominant approach in career counseling remains identifying potential careers that match individual characteristics.
- Theory of Work Adjustment (TWA) is one of the oldest career theories and includes predictive and process models.
- TWA focuses on personal and environmental characteristics leading to successful work outcomes, including needs/values, skills/abilities, job requirements, and job reinforcers.
- TWA's process model describes how individuals and environments pursue different adjustment strategies to correct any mismatch.
- TWA's hypotheses have substantial empirical support, and its tenets have been incorporated into other P-E fit models in organizational research.
- Social Cognitive Career Theory (SCCT) is based on general social cognitive theory, focusing on the role of self-efficacy and outcome expectations in vocational behavior.
- SCCT consists of four predictive models describing interest development, career choices, educational and vocational performance, and work and career satisfaction.
- SCCT has received the most empirical research attention of any contemporary career theory and remains connected to advances from other fields of psychology.
- Career models in management, organizational behavior, industrial-work-organizational psychology, and related fields focus on individuals' observable patterns of movement between different jobs and roles.
- Career scholars argue that contemporary careers are characterized by high levels of mobility and individual initiative due to societal and economic changes.
- "Traditional" careers were characterized by lifetime employment in a single organization, advancement up a linear organizational hierarchy, and determined development opportunities.
