Study Notes
Lay Theories of How Passion for Work Is Achieved
- Two types of theorists: Fit Theorist and Develop Theorist
- Fit Theorist: Initial high levels of passion remain constant over time
- Develop Theorist: Starting with lower levels of passion, but it grows over time
Implications of the Fit and Develop Theories
- Similar levels of well-being and financial success, regardless of dominant theory
- No difference in average levels of passion, satisfaction, and success at work
- People can attain similar outcomes with different mindsets
Process: From Lay Theories to Outcome
- Two key findings: perceived fit with vocations and strategies associated with each mindset
- Perceived fit: how good a fit people thought they had with their professions over time
- Fit Theorist: prioritizing fit, selecting vocations that match them from the start, and constant levels of fit over time
- Develop Theorist: more willing to pick a vocation that may not be a perfect match, but cultivating a better match over time, with lower fit at the start but growing over time
Advantages Versus Disadvantages of the Fit and Develop Theories
- No single theory is always more advantageous under every circumstance
- Conditional advantages, depending on situational factors
- Fit Theory: advantageous when many options are available, and people can afford to test them out
- Develop Theory: advantageous when job options are constrained, and not always adoptive
Cross-Cultural Differences
- Cultural differences in defining work passion and valuing work passion
- Collectivistic cultures (e.g., East Asian) may downplay personal passion, while Western cultures may prioritize individual passion
Applications
- No "right" or superior belief
- People with different beliefs can find their own path to well-being
- Organizational behavior literature: people should work in environments compatible with their values and abilities
The Develop Theory of Passion
- Less prevalent among American working adults (20%-25%)
- Rejects the idealistic notion of a "perfect fit"
- Passion should be cultivated over time through experience, rather than seeking it out
Implications of the Fit and Develop Theories
- People's dominant lay theories influence their vocational preferences, choices, and expectations
- Initial fit is paramount to fit theorists, while develop theorists rely less on initial perceptions of fit
- Lay theories have powerful motivational implications for vocational preferences, choices, and actual work experiences
