Study Notes

The P-E fit framework is influential in vocational guidance and personnel selection for positive work outcomes.
Person-Environment (P-E) fit includes various forms and is related to career success and work adjustment theory.
Theory of Work Adjustment (TWA) is an old career theory with a predictive model and a process model.
TWA focuses on individual needs/values and skills/abilities, job requirements, and job reinforcers.
Satisfaction and effective performance result when individual needs and abilities meet job requirements.
Long-term tenure and career persistence occur when both individual and job fit are present.
When there's a mismatch, individuals and organizations pursue adjustment strategies like flexibility, changing oneself, or the other party, and have a degree of perseverance before leaving.
TWA has received substantial empirical support and its hypotheses are incorporated into other P-E fit models.
Social Cognitive Career Theory (SCCT) is based on social cognitive theory and focuses on self-efficacy and outcome expectations.
SCCT is not strictly a P-E fit model but incorporates many P-E fit features for self-efficacy, interests, and performance.
SCCT includes four predictive models: interest development, career choices, educational and vocational performance, and work and career satisfaction.
Management career models focus on observable patterns of movement between jobs, roles, and employers and their attitudes toward transitions.
Career research is concerned with the implications of societal and economic changes for individual careers.
Contemporary careers are characterized by high levels of mobility, individual initiative, and less traditional career paths.
Traditional careers included lifetime employment, advancement in a linear organizational hierarchy, and development opportunities determined by organizational superiors.
