    Study Notes

    Career Development Theories

    • Various theories explain career paths, success, and behaviors. They aim to explain why a person might be a good fit for a certain career and provide guidance on achieving a promising trajectory.

    Roe's Need Theory

    • A person's career choices are influenced by their interaction with parents.
    • A child's interactions with parents determine whether they pursue person-oriented or non-person-oriented jobs.
    • Early childhood experiences significantly influence career choices.
    • Parental interaction style has a major impact on a child's motivational intensity.
    • Three categories of parenting styles are presented.

    Avoidance

    • Neglect: Parents do not show love or concern, provide minimal care, and create conflicts.
    • Emotional Deprivation: Parents do not care about a child, often humiliate them, and belittle their abilities.

    Acceptable

    • Casual: Parents set rules but do not always maintain them, provide simple love, and express concern when appropriate.
    • Loving: Parents show warm attention and help children solve problems, provide praise, and allow reasonable freedom.

    Concentrative

    • Over-protective: Parents try to satisfy all the needs of the child, create a protective "fence," reduce freedom, give excessive praise and rewards, often intervening excessively.
    • Over-demanding: Parents have high expectations and impose numerous challenges on the child, setting conditions for conformity and social achievement, often demanding high standards in exchange for love.

    Super's Self-Concept Theory

    • Self-concept changes and develops over time due to experiences.
    • Experiences influence personal values related to career and goals.
    • Five stages of career development are presented.
      • Growth (birth to 14 years): Developing attitudes toward work.
      • Exploration (15 to 24 years): Trying different career paths through classes, hobbies, and casual work.
      • Establishment (25 to 44 years): Developing entry-level job skills and work experience.
      • Maintenance (45 to 65 years): Changing career elements to improve position.
      • Decline (65+ years): Reducing work and preparing for retirement.
    • Eight life roles exist: Child, Student, Leisurite, Citizen, Worker, Parent, Spouse, Homemaker.

    Ginzberg's Vocational Choice Theory

    • Career development is influenced by reality, educational processes, emotional factors, individual values.
    • Four factors that influence career development:
      • Reality Factor: The ability to handle pressure in a chosen career path.
      • Educational Process: One must have proper educational preparation to succeed in a desired career.
      • Emotional Factor: Satisfaction is determined by emotional security.
      • Individual Values: Anything cherished and esteemed must be satisfied to attain happiness and fulfillment.
    • Career development is a long-term process requiring education, vision, values, goals, and skills.
    • Vocational choices have three stages:
      • Childhood or Fantasy (up to age 11): Engaging in playful, stimulating occupations.
      • Adolescence or Tentative (13 to 19 years): Focusing on work requirements and aligning interests with abilities.
      • Adulthood or Realistic (17 to 20+ years): Recognizing a career path, considering alternatives, and creating contingency plans.
        • Exploration, Crystallization, Specification sub-stages for adulthood.

    • Five stages of development (age ranges are given):
      • Orientation to internal technique and self.
      • Orientation to social values.
      • Orientation to sex roles.
      • Orientation to size and power.
      • Compromise: The need for compromise is an issue since jobs wanted may differ significantly from available ones. Important to emphasize the value of exploration, realism, and information for career counselors.
    • Five recommendations for guidance counselors: work with core traits, sample various experiences, surround oneself with encouraging people, acknowledge uniqueness of individuals and situations, and keep an open mind.

    • Each individual has personal genetic endowment.
    • As a person grows, he learns from experiences, such as social, political, and economic events and applies learned knowledge.
    • One's past experiences (rewards/punishments, successes/failures) greatly impact future decisions.
    • Interaction between learning experiences and reactions results in a unique individual.
    • Several factors influence career choices: genetic endowment, environmental conditions, learning experiences, emotional response.
    • Self-observation and generalization are important factors impacting career choices.
    • A theory of planned happenstance suggests adapting to unexpected life events.
    • Two categories of learning experiences: instrumental and associative.
    • Instrumental learning: actively engaging in actions and observing consequences to develop understanding.
    • Associative learning: observing other people and their experiences to learn.

    Generalization Theory

    • When one enters the workforce, choosing a career that matches personal traits (abilities, interests) is crucial for job satisfaction.

    Generalization Theory

    • Socialization is a necessary process that introduces children to cultural values & beliefs. Parents are the primary influencers for this aspect.
    • Positive experiences build self-confidence and self-efficacy, impacting future career choices.
