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.
