Study Notes
Career Options Based on Career Development Concepts and Personal Life Goals
- Career options depend on career development concepts and personal life goals.
Career Development Concepts
- Bandura's Social Cognitive Theory
- Explores "self-efficacy," a person's confidence in accomplishing tasks.
- "Confidence" is a result of past experiences and accomplishments.
- Perception of reality is a major factor influencing performance.
- Employers and employees need to leverage individual confidence for better relationships and performance.
- Super's Career Development Theory
- People go through stages in career development.
- Super outlines five developmental stages:
- Growth (ages 4-13): Children develop wants, capacities, and a general view of the world.
- Exploration (ages 14-24): Individuals try to find themselves by exploring hobbies, groups, and experiences. They make tentative career choices.
- Establishment (ages 25-44): Individuals are set in their positions but still aim for advancement.
- Maintenance (ages 45-65): Individuals make continual adjustments and improve their skill sets to approach their field of work in new ways.
- Disengagement (over 65): Individuals leave the workforce and focus on retirement planning.
- Holland's Theory of Vocational Choice
- Emphasizes the relationship between personality and the world of work.
- A strong correlation between personal orientation and chosen career leads to higher satisfaction and persistence.
Career Development Factors
- Individuals can be intrinsically or extrinsically motivated, depending on influencing factors.
- Factors are classified into three categories: personal, academic, and familial.
- Personal: Individual preferences, idiosyncrasies, self-assessment, and personality traits influence career choice.
- Academic: Self-evaluation of academic performance (strengths and weaknesses) aids in choosing a suitable career path.
- Familial: Social nature and surrounding environment influence career path decisions.
-
Other Factors:
- Work values (honesty, service, respect, and success) shape career choices and goals.
- Personality types (E-N-F-P) should be considered in identifying career options.
- Extroversion: motivation from outside interactions.
- Intuition: heavy consideration of future possibilities due to sensed evidence.
- Feeling: decisions based on feelings and values.
- Perceiving: planning not a focus; flexibility is key.
Identifying Career Options Leading to Attaining One's Personal Goal
-
Career planning is the process of making educational and career choices based on self-knowledge and environmental awareness.
-
The purpose of career planning is to guide individuals towards realistic career goals by exploring various opportunities.
-
Career planning is an ongoing process beginning in middle school and extending into adulthood.
-
The career planning process consists of four stages.
- Self-assessment: gathering data about interests, skills, abilities, values, and personality
- Knowledge of academic-career options: accumulating information about specific jobs, occupations, work conditions, required education, job outlook, and advancement opportunities.
- In-depth evaluation and goal setting: evaluating gathered data, understanding factors influencing decisions, and setting short/medium/long-term goals.
- Career plan implementation: actively taking steps toward goals, focusing on job and educational preparation
-
Applying for education/training programs
-
Gathering information on companies
-
Developing a job search strategy

- Find a matching job
- Manage your career
-
Short-term Goal: something to be accomplished in the near future.
-
Long-term Goal: something to be accomplished in the distant future.
Tips to Increase Chances of Successfully Following Your Plans
- Write it down: Writing down the plan improves memory and enables tracking of progress. Use the SMART method (Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Realistic, Time-bound).
- Set deadlines: Setting short term goals and deadlines leads to consistent progress towards long-term goals.
- Reward yourself: Rewards for completing tasks increase motivation.
- Accountability Partner: Working with a partner gives support to stay on track and provides encouragement.
Three Major Effects of Job Discontent
- Loss of Motivation/Lack of Interest/Frustration: Individuals might lose their enthusiasm for work if their career culture doesn't align with their needs.
- Poor Productivity/Absenteeism: Individuals might waste time and money due to unsuitable career choice.
- High Turnover Rate: Companies failing to assess and motivate employees lead to high turnover rates.
