Making vocational choices: A theory of vocational personalities and work environments
... Data dikumpulkan melalui telaah dokumen dari literatur akademik lima tahun terakhir dan dianalisis menggunakan teknik analisis isi dengan pendekatan kualitatif deskriptif. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa faktor internal seperti minat dan bakat berkontribusi signifikan dalam menentukan pilihan jurusan, sejalan dengan teori kecocokan karir (Holland, 1997). Sementara itu, faktor eksternal seperti pengaruh keluarga, teman sebaya, media, dan kebijakan pendidikan juga memengaruhi keputusan siswa. ...
... Minat siswa terhadap suatu bidang studi sering kali menjadi penentu utama karena minat yang tinggi cenderung meningkatkan motivasi dan komitmen siswa dalam menekuni bidang tersebut. Hal ini sejalan dengan teori Holland (1997) yang menyatakan bahwa kecocokan antara minat individu dengan lingkungan pendidikan atau pekerjaan akan meningkatkan kepuasan dan kinerja. ...
... Minat yang tinggi terhadap suatu bidang studi cenderung meningkatkan motivasi intrinsik siswa, sementara bakat yang sesuai dengan jurusan yang dipilih dapat meningkatkan peluang keberhasilan akademik. Teori Holland (1997) tentang kecocokan karir menjelaskan bahwa individu cenderung memilih lingkungan yang sesuai dengan kepribadian dan minat mereka, yang pada akhirnya meningkatkan kepuasan dan kinerja. ...
This study aims to analyze the factors that influence students' decision-making in choosing an educational major. The method used is library research, with the subject being a literature review from journals, books, and related research reports. The object of the study includes variables such as economics, social, culture, and technology that play a role in the decision-making process. Data were collected through document reviews from academic literature in the last five years and analyzed using content analysis techniques with a descriptive qualitative approach. The results of the study indicate that internal factors such as interests and talents contribute significantly to determining the choice of major, in line with the career fit theory (Holland, 1997). Meanwhile, external factors such as the influence of family, peers, media, and educational policies also influence students' decisions. This study reveals that students' decisions are the result of a complex interaction of various factors and highlights the importance of positive social environmental support. These results provide new insights for educational institutions in designing policies that support students' decision-making processes
... No obstante, aun cuando hay otros planteamientos teóricos que han contribuido con importantes aportaciones a la comprensión de este fenómeno, es necesario poner énfasis en la teoría tipológica de la personalidad vocacional (Holland, 1975(Holland, , 1997, en la que se basa este trabajo, la cual postula que las personas se distinguen por la prevalencia de por lo menos uno de seis tipos en función de sus características vocacionales. ...
... Uno de los aspectos más relevantes de este modelo teórico es la concepción que aporta sobre la personalidad vocacional, en la cual distingue seis tipos diferentes, que define como disposiciones de un individuo a pensar, percibir el mundo y actuar de forma particular, como resultado de la combinación de sus aptitudes y sus intereses (Holland, 1997 Un aspecto muy importante por recalcar es que, en el marco de esta teoría, no se enfatiza en tipos puros de personalidad, sino que varios de estos componentes pueden estar presentes en un individuo, de cuyas combinaciones se extrae un código que integra los tipos predominantes en cada caso. Dentro del modelo hexagonal se plantea que, entre más cercanos de encuentren dos tipos, más consistencia existe entre ellos; en este sentido, una personalidad consistente es aquella en la que los tipos predominantes tienen más relación entre sí, lo cual se considera un indicador de madurez vocacional. ...
... Asimismo, Holland (1997) hace hincapié en la importancia de la congruencia entre los tipos de personalidad que predominan en un individuo y las características del ambiente laboral en el que se desempeña, como un indicador de su satisfacción profesional; en este sentido, considerar la congruencia entre la personalidad vocacional de un sujeto y los ambientes vinculados a sus aspiraciones de carrera, de modo temprano, puede actuar como un mecanismo que contribuya a la construcción de un proyecto vocacional sólido. Al respecto, Acosta (2018) señala que las personas que comparten una vocación tienen personalidades similares, así como formas comunes de responder a las situaciones y problemáticas. ...
La desigualdad de oportunidades para la continuidad académica de adolescentes de comunidades rurales plantea un desafío en la búsqueda de la justicia social, pues su desarrollo vocacional ocurre en un contexto de escasez de información, carencia de modelos a seguir y ausencia de redes de apoyo. En este contexto, el objetivo de esta investigación fue analizar la congruencia entre la personalidad vocacional y las aspiraciones de carrera en adolescentes de una comunidad rural de la región maya, ubicada al sureste de México. Se utilizó una metodología cuantitativa, con diseño descriptivo-correlacional, mediante un censo que incluyó a los 150 adolescentes de la comunidad que cursaban la secundaria o el bachillerato en el ciclo escolar 2023-2024. Los resultados muestran una amplia diversidad de aspiraciones vocacionales o aspiraciones de carrera, en su mayoría universitarias. Asimismo, predominan los tipos de personalidad realista y social, lo cual muestra la influencia del entorno en el desarrollo de los adolescentes. Asimismo, se identifica una baja congruencia entre sus aspiraciones y su personalidad vocacional, lo que representa riesgos para la elección de carrera y continuidad escolar. Esta situación obstaculiza el desarrollo comunitario y se ve agravada por la escasez de oportunidades. Una de las principales conclusiones que se alcanza en el estudio es la necesidad de trabajar en colaboración con autoridades municipales y los diferentes agentes educativos con la finalidad de crear espacios que faciliten la construcción del proyecto de vida viable en función de sus características personales y contextuales.

Objective: This study aims to define the learning styles and personality traits of family medicine residents and to explore their interrelationships, contributing to a better understanding of how these factors can enhance the effectiveness of residency training. Unlike previous research, this study specifically examines the alignment between learning styles and personality traits within the context of family medicine training, providing new insights into personalized educational strategies. Methods: This cross-sectional descriptive study was conducted with 97 family medicine residents in Adana City Training and Research Hospital between 15 February 2023 and 15 April 2023. Sociodemographic data questions, Kolb Learning Styles Inventory-3 and Big Five-50 Personality Test (BFPI-50-Tr) were collected through face-to-face interviews with the participants and the data were analyzed with IBM SPSS 24.0 software. Results: The majority of the participants exhibited a diverging learning style (48.5%), followed by accommodating (29.9%) and assimilating (19.6%) styles. The highest mean score in personality traits was observed in agreeableness (40.11±4.32), while the lowest mean score was found in extraversion (30.23±6.70).There was no statistically significant relationship between personality test results and learning styles (p > 0.05). Conclusion: The findings suggest that the majority of family medicine residents prefer diverging and accommodating learning styles, which emphasize learning through experience, discussion, and practical application. To optimize residency education, training programs should incorporate group discussions, brainstorming activities, and experiential learning methods tailored to these styles. Additionally, considering the high agreeableness scores among residents, fostering collaborative and interactive learning environments may further enhance their professional development.
... 10). Subsequently, using Holland's (1959Holland's ( , 1997 RIASEC model, Chung and Harmon (1994) found that gay men's interests were more social (d = −0.40) and artistic (d = −0.63) ...
... Third, to the best of our knowledge, no study has explored how cultural factors may moderate the relationship between sexual orientation and interests. This is a problematic omission because an important cornerstone of vocational theories is that the sociocultural environment plays a powerful role in interest and career development (Gottfredson, 2005;Holland, 1997;Lent et al., 1994). To advance our understanding of sexual minorities' interests, it is therefore essential to examine the role of the cultural context in shaping their expression of vocational interests (Spurk, 2021). ...
... To address the above critical knowledge gaps, the present study has two overarching aims. First, drawing on Holland's (1997) interest model, we investigate the relationship of four sexual orientation categories-heterosexual, gay/lesbian, bisexual, or asexual-to the RIASEC interest dimensions, separately by gender (male/female). In doing so, we expand interest research on sexual minority women and asexual people. 2 Specifically, we expect that gay men's and lesbian women's gender-typical (i.e., realistic and social; Su et al., 2009) interests will be gender-shifted (i.e., significantly more similar to different-sex heterosexuals). ...
Vocational interests are an important factor in individuals’ career choice and development. However, current understanding about the vocational interests of sexual minorities is underdeveloped. Using data from 31,348 men and 59,715 women (N = 91,063) from 48 countries who self-identified as heterosexual, gay/lesbian, bisexual, or asexual, this study used a fine-grained approach to investigating the relationship of sexual orientation to Holland’s realistic, investigative, artistic, social, enterprising, and conventional interests, separately by gender. Across these countries, we also explored how the strength of social norms—that is, cultural tightness–looseness—moderates this relationship. Results indicated generally small sexual orientation differences in realistic, investigative, artistic, social, enterprising, and conventional interests within women and within men. On average, the interests of sexual minorities tend to be less gender-typical, but more investigative and artistic, than those of heterosexual people. Multilevel analyses show that cultural tightness–looseness moderated sexual orientation differences in realistic, investigative, artistic, social, enterprising, and conventional interests, such that some of these differences are smaller (larger) in tight (loose) cultures. This implies that tight cultures that have strong norms might constrain sexual minorities’ vocational interests, whereas loose cultures that have weak norms offer greater latitude for them to pursue different interests. Altogether, this study advances our collective understanding of sexual minorities’ vocational interests and highlights the role of the cultural context in shaping their career choices and development. Implications for counseling and career development of sexual minority clients are discussed.

Introduction. The concept of «fit» is a cornerstone in organizational psychology and human resource management research. It defines the compatibility between an individual and various aspects of the work environment, influencing job satisfaction, performance, and organizational commitment. This study aims to systematize and synthesize scientific literature on types of fit within the context of organizational psychology to develop an integrative framework encompassing both traditional and emerging constructs. The methods included a systematic literature review following established guidelines, involving literature analysis, validation of theoretical models, key concept analysis, and data synthesis. Databases such as PsycINFO, Web of Science, Scopus, and Google Scholar were used for the search. The results identified eleven primary types of fit, including Person-Job Fit (P-J Fit), Person-Organization Fit (P-O Fit), Person-Technology Fit (P-T Fit), and Person-Development Fit, etc. Emerging constructs like P-T Fit and Person-Development Fit reflect contemporary workplace challenges, including digital transformation and personalized employee development. Conclusions. The findings underscore the necessity of integrating various fit dimensions into theoretical models and practical HR strategies to enhance organizational effectiveness, employee satisfaction, and professional growth
... Meta-analyses have demonstrated that vocational interests are strong predictors of career choice (Hanna & Rounds, 2020), and employees who show better interest fit have higher job performance (Nye et al., 2012(Nye et al., , 2017Van Iddekinge et al., 2011b) and job satisfaction (Hoff et al., 2020). Although much of this research has used Holland's (1997) RIASEC model, measuring basic interests could further improve the predictive power of interest fit for key career outcomes. ...
... Second, to examine the correspondence between CABIN-NET basic interest scales and RIASEC dimensions, we conducted a basic interest-to-RIASEC Exploratory Structural Equation Model (ESEM; Marsh et al., 2009Marsh et al., , 2010. In comparison to the CFA, ESEM analysis integrates the confirmatory and exploratory approaches by applying target rotation of factors while still allow basic interest scales to load on multiple RIASEC dimensions (Su et al., 2019 Lastly, to examine the structural validity of the CABIN-NET derived RIASEC domain scores, we conducted a randomization test of hypothesized order (Rounds et al., 1992), a test that calculates the correspondence index (CI) as the degree to which the observed correlational patterns satisfy the hypothesized circular order of Holland's (1997) RIASEC. The correspondence index ranges from -1.0 (all predictions violated) to 0.0 (equal number of predictions met and violated) to 1.0 (all predictions were met). ...
Over the past half-century, Holland’s RIASEC model has dominated vocational interest research. Although the RIASEC categories effectively capture general occupational themes, their breadth obscures meaningful variability across underlying basic interests , which are more refined interest scales. In this research, we adapted the Comprehensive Assessment of Basic Interests (CABIN; Su et ., 2019) to be used alongside O*NET for assessing interest fit, resulting in the 60-item CABIN-NET that measures 20 basic interest scales organized under RIASEC domains. In Study 1, we refined items for the CABIN-NET using a nationally representative adult sample ( N = 768). In Studies 2 and 3, we collected extensive reliability and validity evidence using longitudinal samples of graduates from four-year universities ( N = 816) and community colleges ( N = 560). Across samples, results consistently showed that basic interest fit had stronger predictive power for career outcomes compared to RIASEC fit. Overall, the CABIN-NET provides a short, reliable measure of both basic interests and RIASEC interests, offering two ways of assessing person-occupation fit and balancing bandwidth and fidelity. The CABIN-NET also offers a new content-based connection between basic interests and occupational knowledge, providing theoretical and practical implications for incorporating basic interests into person-environment fit research and applications.
... Several vital decision-making factors including temperament, morals, passions, abilities and employment market demand (Super, 1957;Holland, 1997;Lent et al., 2000) make career selection both essential but challenging in life. Donald Super's theory of career development represents among the most fundamental theories in career development because it evolved from its original design by Super in 1957. ...
... The vocational choice theory developed by Holland stands among the most influential models which help explain career selection processes (Holland, 1997). According to Holland people make professional decisions based on their personality characteristics. ...
This survey study was carried out with the objective to investigate the role of parental influence, social media and personal choice in selecting career among youth. A sample of 500 university students aged 18-29 (Mean age = 19.65, SD =1.514) was selected through convenient sampling technique from different universities of Lahore, Pakistan. Participants responded to demographic information form and then to a self-developed survey questionnaire. Analysis reveals that parent's profession was the most influential factor for youth while selecting their careers. With respect to media influence the youngsters are most likely to be influenced by the occupations portrayed by media. Lastly, Pakistani youth mostly prefer to seek career counseling by a professional when selecting their careers as a personal choice. Findings also suggest that young women prefer to select career influenced by their parents' profession and field of choice as compared to men. The research investigates how parenting affects young Pakistani individuals while showing that media and individual preferences also guide their career direction. Youth from Pakistan show a strong preference for career counseling services that originate from professional sources especially among the female population. Women demonstrated a stronger tendency to let their parents select their future occupation compared to men in this study group. This study provides essential findings concerning Pakistani career decision-algorithms while demonstrating that career counseling helps young people reach wise career decisions. This research generates valuable information about Pakistani youth career choices thus
... Person-environment fit has been thought of as one of psychology's most pervasive constructs (Schneider, 2001). The fundamental tenet of person-environment fit is inherent to many central theories in organizational and career psychology (Su et al., 2015), such as the hexagonal model of vocational personalities and environments (Holland, 1997), the attractionselection-attrition model (Schneider, 1987) or the theory of work adjustment (Dawis & Lofquist, 1984). Despite a long research tradition, empirical findings are inconclusive regarding person-environment fit theory's main assumption. ...
... Person-environment fit is not static. Several conceptual frameworks and theories propose dynamic processes between persons and their environment (e.g., Dawis & Lofquist, 1984;Holland, 1997;Wrzesniewski & Dutton, 2001). Studies with longitudinal perspectives on person-environment fit's later attitudinal but also behavioral outcomes are relatively rare FIT MODELING IN LONGITUDINAL DESIGNS 6 (e.g., Sylva et al., 2019;Vleugels et al., 2018). ...
... Dalam penerapan kurikulum merdeka, asesmen minat bakat berbasis RIASEC (Realistic, Investigative, Artistic, Social, Enterprising, dan Conventional) menjadi salah satu pendekatan yang dapat digunakan untuk memahami kecenderungan minat siswa secara lebih mendalam. Model RIASEC, yang dikembangkan oleh John L. Holland, bertujuan untuk mengelompokkan individu berdasarkan tipe minat dan kecenderungan pekerjaan yang mereka sukai, sehingga membantu dalam menyesuaikan pilihan kegiatan belajar dan pekerjaan di masa depan (Holland, 1997;Pratama & Kurniawan, 2023). Dalam konteks kurikulum merdeka, asesmen berbasis RIASEC berfungsi sebagai panduan awal bagi guru BK untuk mengidentifikasi area kecenderungan siswa, baik dalam bidang akademik maupun karier. ...
... Vocational identity refers to an individual's identification with and commitment to their vocational role, reflecting their self-definition of their profession and recognition of its value (Erikson, 1968). It encompasses not only emotional identification with the vocational role but also cognitive understanding of vocational goals, responsibilities, and their social significance (Holland, 1997). In the context of vocational education, vocational identity directly affects students' learning attitudes and practical outcomes, becoming one of the core elements for enhancing the quality of vocational education (Wang et al., 2022). ...
This paper explores the relationship between vocational identity and the quality of vocational education through a case study approach, grounded in Social Cognitive Theory. Taking Li Hao (a pseudonym), a mechanical engineering student at a vocational and technical college, as an example, the study employs in-depth interviews, participatory observation, and text analysis to reveal the developmental process of vocational identity and its impact on the quality of vocational education. The study finds that the formation of vocational identity is a dynamic process influenced by both external environments and personal experiences. High-quality vocational education significantly enhances students' vocational identity through practice-oriented curriculum design, school-enterprise cooperation, teacher support, and other factors. Self-efficacy, role modeling, and outcome expectations, key constructs in Social Cognitive Theory, are prominently manifested in vocational education. The study suggests optimizing practical teaching, deepening school-enterprise cooperation, enhancing teachers' competencies, and emphasizing the integration of theory and practice to strengthen the quality of vocational education and students' vocational identity.
... Dentro de estos cuestionarios destaca el cuestionario de Holland (Self-Directed Search, SDS), que ha sido aplicado en diferentes países, inclusive en nuestro país, donde se realizó una adaptación cross-cultural. Para Holland (1994), en las preferencias y elección vocacional se aplican los principios teóricos de las teorías de la personalidad en el estudio de la conducta vocacional, culminando en la tipología vocacional las relaciones entre los rasgos de personalidad y el mundo laboral (Holland, 1966(Holland, , 1985(Holland, , 1997. Del instrumento de Holland se cuenta con una Adaptación del Cuaderno de Evaluación del Self-Directed Search (SDS) forma R, que ofrece la suficiente garantía científica y técnica para aplicarla a la población española en los procesos de orientación, asesoramiento vocacional y profesional (Martínez-Vicente y Valls, 2006). ...

Holland geht davon aus, dass durch eine Art wiederholende Einübung die Interessen der Eltern auf die Kinder übergehen und sich so auch berufliche Interessen vererben, die als entscheidendes Kriterium für die Berufswahl gelten.

... The idea that a student's personality may determine the best "fit" between their major and school is a common justification used in this research. This theory has been advanced by Holland [22] among others. Should it be true that a student's personality makes certain academic majors more appropriate for them than others, this information would be helpful for academic counselling and advising as well as for teaching in general. ...
The post-pandemic era has observed numerous changes and has gone through multiple stages of evolution. This era has witnessed significant changes in psychological aspects, with a general increase in terms of depression, anxiety and stress. A descriptive survey is carried out in Sidho-Kanho-Birsha University, West Bengal, India. Data collected by administering on Big Five Inventory and DASS-21 scales on 600 postgraduate students. A stratified random sampling technique is considered for the collection of data. Comparison between male-female, rural-urban and arts-science students for the variables of Big Five Inventory (Extraversion, Agreeableness, Conscientiousness, Neuroticism and Openness to Experience) and DASS-21 (Stress, Anxiety and Depression) separately and together as a group has been taken up. Significant differences are found for Openness to Experience and Depression when gender is taken as dichotomous variable and t-test is administered. There are no significant differences for all other cases. The study uses Mahalanobis Distance to find out the dynamical nature of variables of Big Five Inventory and DASS-21, with no significant differences between male-female, rural-urban and arts-science students.
... Well-known and established career development theories and most career guidance practices are focused on the individual (Plant 2015, p. 115) and "this individual focal point is closely linked with the idea of unlimited economic growth" (Plant 2020, p. 1). These theories include Super's life-span theory (Super, 1957), Holland's person-environment fit theory (Holland, 1997), Gottfredson's theory of circumscription and compromise (Gottfredson, 2002), Gelatt's concept of positive uncertainty (Gelatt, 1989), Mitchell et al.'s (1999) planned happenstance, and Savickas et al.' (2009) individual life-design approach. ...
Context: As climate change intensifies, career counseling must integrate environmental sustainability. Traditional career models focus on financial stability, career advancement, or social contribution (Wrzesniewski et al., 1997), but the shift toward greener economies requires guidance that prepares individuals for sustainable careers (Plant, 2020).
Approach: This article employs a hermeneutic approach to examine the emerging paradigm of green guidance, analyzing key texts and theories to explore how sustainability can be embedded in career counseling. Findings: The findings indicate that career counseling must expand beyond individual aspirations to incorporate ecological responsibility. Applying Packer's model (2019), the article identifies different levels of sustainability commitment in career guidance and outlines practical strategies, such as integrating environmental awareness, promoting sustainable education, and aligning career choices with ecological and labor market shifts (Bakke et al., 2024; Plant, 2020).
Conclusion: Integrating green guidance into career counseling is crucial for addressing the pressing climate and environmental crises. By aligning career aspirations with sustainability, green guidance helps merge personal goals with broader ecological objectives. This approach not only enhances the relevance of career counseling in the face of climate change but also ensures a workforce that is prepared to navigate the challenges of the Anthropocene, contributing to a more sustainable and just future.
... Both intentions for a master's degree and expectations of success regarding the completion of a master's programme were measured using two self-developed items each. Intrinsic value was operationalised by five items measuring students' scientific interest, derived from a vocational interest questionnaire based on Holland [37]. Furthermore, four items measuring utility value (e.g., high income, good career prospects) and a single item assessing anticipated monetary costs were sourced from Lörz and colleagues [38]. ...
This study investigates the factors driving students to pursue a master’s degree, taking into account the mediating role of ability beliefs in this decision-making process. Previous research has primarily focused on a narrow range of explanatory factors, such as the utility value of a master’s degree and associated monetary costs. Yet, the role of intrinsic value, expectations of success, and psychological costs of failure, which are crucial in the decision to pursue further studies, have been insufficiently explored. Drawing on the expectancy-value model by Eccles et al., this study develops a comprehensive model to examine the factors influencing bachelor’s students’ intentions to pursue a master’s degree. Using structural equation modelling (SEM) to analyse cross-sectional data from N = 3,044 undergraduate students at a major German university, our findings provide robust support for the theoretical framework. Specifically, students’ expectations of successfully completing a master’s degree emerged as the strongest predictor of their intentions to transition (β = .42, p < 0.001). Intrinsic value, indicated by interest in scientific work, proved to be as important as the utility value (β = .36, p < 0.001). Moreover, psychological costs significantly influenced student’s decisions (β = -.21, p < 0.01). Notably, apart from academic performance, beliefs about general and scientific abilities contributed to both the expectancy and value components of the model. These results provide valuable insights for higher education institutions regarding programme development and counseling services aimed at supporting students during this critical decision-making process. Additionally, this study enriches the theoretical understanding of the complex dynamics involved in student’s academic transitions.
... We capture respondents' gender, age, community of faith (Conroy & Emerson, 2004;Randolph-Seng & Nielsen, 2007), and field of study (Alatas et al., 2009;Nichols & Robertson, 2017).Prior research by Conroy and Emerson (2004) indicates that individuals who saliently associate with a community of faith are less likely to engage in deviant behaviour in general (Randolph-Seng & Nielsen, 2007) and that religious HE students are particularly less likely to engage in bribery and academic misconduct (Yu et al., 2017). In accordance with Holland's (1992) theory of vocational preferences, a large number of studies-e.g., by Ekehammar et al. (1987), Hackett and Lent (1992), and Olsen et al. (2019)-show that students self-select into different fields of studies (e.g. economics vs. social sciences) not only based on their desired professional career opportunities in their later lives but also because students associate different schools of thought with different study fields (e.g. a more welfare-oriented behavioural paradigm with sociology as compared to a more self-serving rationale with economic and management studies). ...
Bribery is a complex and critical issue in higher education (HE), causing severe economic and societal harm. Traditionally, most scholarship on HE corruption has focused on institutional factors in developing countries and insights into the psychological and motivational factors that drive HE bribery on the micro-level mechanisms are virtually non-existent. To close this research gap, this study investigates the connection between study-related burnout and university students’ willingness to offer bribes to their lecturers to pass important exams. Conducting a vignette-based quasi-experimental replication study with 624 university students in Germany, Belgium, and the Netherlands we find that university students in three countries differentiate sharply between different shades of bribery and that a majority accept using emotional influence tactics to pass (failed) exams. In contrast, offering a helping hand or money (i.e., darker shades of bribery) to their lecturer was less acceptable. Study-related burnout is associated with a higher likelihood of engaging in these darker shades of bribery and students’ commitment to the public interest is but a weak factor in preventing unethical behavior. In summary, this study provides solid empirical evidence that university students are likely to use emotional influence tactics violating both the ethical codes of conduct and the formalized bureaucratic procedures of HE examination, particularly if they suffer from study-related burnout. However, the accelerating effect of burnout on bribery is conditional in that it only holds for darker shades of bribery. HE institutions may benefit from implementing the four-eye principle and from launching awareness campaigns that enable lecturers to better recognize these tactics and engage students in creating a transparent environment for testing, grading, and collaboration that is resistant to bribery.
... Y retoma planteamientos de las teorías de elección de carreras en las que se considera que, en la medida en que dicha elección haya sido tomada con consciencia y madurez, es más probable que la permanencia estudiantil sea exitosa. Asimismo, Holland (1985) establece que una persona elige su profesión en función de la satisfacción que espera obtener, de aquí que se considere que esta elección es un reflejo de su propia personalidad, y de sus propios motivos e intereses (Mercado y Mamani, 2017; Pinzón de Bojana y Prieto de Alizo, 2006; De León Mendoza y Briones de León, 2012). Así como también la percepción sobre la movilidad o estatus social que una carrera puede brindar a las personas (Covarrubias, 2013). ...
... For more than half a century, John Holland's model of vocational interests (Holland, 1965(Holland, , 1997 guided both research and professional counseling practice. The model suggests that vocational interests of individuals can be described using six vocational interest domains, i.e., Realistic (R), Investigative (I), Artistic (A), Social (S), Enterprising (E) and Conventional (C). ...
This study examines age and gender differences in a large cross-sectional sample of Brazilian middle and high school students (Total N = 234.857) who were administered 18REST-2, a brief RIASEC measure used in large-scale educational monitoring. Paralleling to previous meta-analytic findings, boys scored substantively higher on Realistic, whereas girls scored higher on Social and Artistic interests. Enterprising interests were greater among older adolescents, plateauing after middle school, also in line with meta-analytic work, but also conventional interests were greater across adolescence, counter to meta-analytic patterns. Similarities and differences with meta-analytic findings are discussed considering longer versus brief measures to assess RIASEC, the different cultures in which studies are conducted (Brazil versus mainly Western countries) and the more recent nature of the present data reflecting the post-pandemic era.

... Male and female students also have different vocational interests, that is, preferences for certain work tasks and activities. The Holland inventory (RIASEC, see Holland, , 1997 describes vocational interests along six dimensions: realistic (R), investigative (I), artistic (A), social (S), enterprising (E), and conventional (C). A meta-analysis of empirical studies revealed that men show higher realistic and, to a lesser extent, investigative interests, whereas women show higher artistic and stronger social interests . ...
Das vorliegende Dissertationsvorhaben untersucht die Reproduktion von Geschlecht im Berufswahlprozess junger Menschen in Abhängigkeit von soziokulturellen und institutionellen Kontexten. In den vier Studien der Dissertation werden zwei Phasen des Berufsorientierungsprozesses in den Blick genommen: zum einen geht es um die Entwicklung beruflicher Aspirationen und zum anderen um den Verbleib im ersten gewählten Ausbildungsberuf.
... (CW 18, § 1292) Despite the complexities of Jungian theory, counselors aiming to practice from this viewpoint are cautioned from overintellectualizing, or otherwise attempting to dominate the therapeutic process. All counselors are encouraged to work from a theoretical base that matches their personality, values, and goals, normalizes reflective practices, encourages holistic growth and adaptability, and discourages over-pathologization (Holland, 1997;McRoberts, 2025;Prescod & Zeligman, 2018;Rønnestad & Skovholt, 2003). The Jungian-oriented counselor has a particular responsibility to do their own work on their own path to individuation, to remain humble and curious within the dialectic (CW 11), and "endlessly" pursue knowledge of symbol and psyche (CW 16,p. ...

... It is possible that coaches focused more directly on fostering attainment of students' career goals. As a result, coaching may have affected a more specific self-concept, for example students' vocational identity (i.e., clarity of students' career goals, interests, and talents; Holland, 1997). Similarly, Dik and Steger (2008) found stronger effects of a career workshop on a career-specific outcome than on a more global outcome. ...
This study investigated whether career coaching can reduce medical students’ career decision-making stress through clarifying students’ self-concept, increasing career decision self-efficacy, and lowering perceived time pressure to make a career decision. We evaluated the effectiveness of a coaching intervention (including five individual coaching sessions over eight months) using a randomized-waitlist controlled trial design. Participating medical master’s students completed a first survey (T1). The intervention condition (n = 94) started the coaching program right away. The waitlist-control condition (n = 130) started after 8.5 months. Participants in the intervention condition completed a second (T2) survey three weeks after their last coaching session. Participants in the waitlist-control condition received the second survey 8.5 months after registration. Data were analyzed using multilevel path modelling. The total effect of coaching on career decision-making stress was significantly negative (-0.17; 95% CI [-0.31, -0.06]), reflecting a small to moderate effect size. This total effect was partially mediated (i.e., explained) by career decision self-efficacy (-0.02; 95% CI [-0.06, -0.00]). Exploratory analyses suggested that coaching only clarified the self-concept of students with a relatively negative coaching attitude at T1. Moreover, coaching resulted in more changes in career choices and an increase in students’ career choice certainty. This study demonstrates that coaching is effective in reducing medical students’ career decision-making stress and increasing their career decision self-efficacy and career choice certainty. High-quality career decision-making is important because it is associated with higher job satisfaction, well-being, and performance. Medical schools may consider providing coaching to students to support their career decision-making.
It is widely acknowledged that the context in which an individual operates significantly influences their career development. Consequently, there has been an increase in scholarly interest in the influence of culture and national context on career enactment. Despite this recognition, career dynamics within the African context have received limited attention. This book aims to address this gap by providing a concise review of career literature and arguing that the institutionalist approach is better suited to studying career dynamics in Africa compared to the culturalist approach. The institutionalist approach is particularly relevant in the study of career dynamics within and across national contexts. It emphasises the role of formal and informal rules and regulations in shaping individual career outcomes. Therefore, it provides a more comprehensive understanding of how career dynamics operate in the African context. This book calls for greater attention to the institutionalist approach to studying career dynamics in Africa, which would contribute to the advancement of career research in this underrepresented empirical site. Overall, this book aims to stimulate further research on careers in the African context, which is a vital yet understudied area. We hope that our contribution will inspire future scholars to explore the nuances of career dynamics in Africa and advance our understanding of this important subject.
Background
Vocational rehabilitation is a well-established field that attracts constant interest. The law provides incentives for beneficiaries and employers. A distinct population group is emerging in the context of current demographic changes: older workers with chronic conditions and impaired functional capacity which are prone to less working years.
Objective
This study aimed to assess possible impact factors on maintaining a long-term professional activity in aged people with mild functional impairments.
Methods
Two hundred and seventy-one patients admitted to The National Institute for Medical Assessment and Work Capacity Rehabilitation Bucharest for work capacity evaluation were included in the survey. An observational study was designed to describe their vocational skills and to integrate interests and abilities to work counselling using a person-centred approach.
Results
Gender (p = 0.003), marital status (p < 0.001), residence (p < 0.001), level of education (p < 0.001), type of occupation (p < 0.001), and multiple qualifications (p = 0.001) were related to longer working experience. Multiskilling, job fit, and residence were favourable features for a shorter interruption of the activity (p < 0.001, p = 0.031, p = 0.016, respectively). An investigative profile was found for higher education (p = 0.002) and intellectual jobs (p = 0.002), while a social profile was associated with a lower level of education (p = 0.012) and unskilled jobs (p = 0.031). Men had a significantly greater percentage of realistic (p = 0.002) and investigative profiles (p = 0.010). Women had significantly greater artistic (p < 0.001) and conventional (p = 0.047) profiles.
Conclusions
Various factors were associated with work participation. Occupational gender segregation was found, and differences in vocational interest were identified for different levels of education and occupational groups.
Holland’s RIASEC theory posits that career choices are guided by the desire to establish congruence between individual interests and environmental activity opportunities. Furthermore, the theory states that most individuals exhibit interests that are consistent with the circular ordering of RIASEC domains, thereby rendering specific interest constellations unlikely. Therefore, as activity opportunities provided by many environments are inconsistent with the circular RIASEC order, the question emerges as to which individuals they attract. In this article, we examine the plausibility of three different scenarios that assert inconsistent environments (A) attract individuals with similarly inconsistent interests; (B) attract individuals with consistent, but only partially congruent interests; and (C) attract individuals with overall strong interests. Data collected within three university majors ( N = 553)—two consistent (emphasizing either R or S) and one inconsistent (emphasizing both R and S)—support Scenario B, suggesting that inconsistent environments are linked to lower congruence and greater interest diversity.
Despite the clear importance of agriculture in Australia, and a diverse range of career opportunities in the sector, knowledge of agriculture and farming processes is declining. This study explores the vocational development experiences of young people within the Australian agricultural industry, highlighting the influences of life experiences, career motivations, and vocational identity on their career decision-making process. Drawing on the developmental-contextual model of career development, the research investigates how individual, social, and contextual factors shape young people's motivations to pursue agricultural careers. Through qualitative analysis of semi-structured interviews with young people working in the cotton industry, the study emphasises the significant role of early exposure to agriculture, family support, and workplace culture in shaping vocational identity and career aspirations. The findings contribute insights into the dynamic interplay between individual and contextual factors in career development and offer practical implications for stakeholders to nurture the next generation of agricultural leaders.
Die Jugendstudie 2024 wurde in den 9.

An der Studie haben 2.092 Schülerinnen und Schüler aus 86 Schulen teilgenommen. Themen der Jugendstudie 2024 sind Freizeitgestaltung, Engagement, Geld und Finanzen, Politik, gesellschaftliche und persönliche Herausforderungen, Klima und Zukunft, Kontrollüberzeugung als psychologisches Konzept, Schule und Zukunft.
This study explores the associations between Holland’s RIASEC vocational interests and indicators of human life history strategy (LHS). We hypothesized that preferences for people-oriented occupations, namely Social, Enterprising, and Artistic interests, would relate to high-K factors, including investment in family, friendships, romantic relationships, and community involvement, while Conventional and Investigative interests would be linked to long-term planning. A sample of 559 participants (240 male) completed the Self-Directed Search questionnaire and the Mini-K Scale of LHS. Canonical and network analyses were employed to capture the multidimensional relationships between vocational interests and LHS indicators. Both analyses demonstrated partial convergence with our hypotheses. Modest network connections emerged between LHS indicators and RIASEC interests, with Social interests being the most central node, alongside Enterprising interests and the Friends’ social contact and support, indicator of slow-LHS. Planning and control was linked to Social and Enterprising interests, while greater Friends’ social contact and support was positively related to Social and Artistic interests. Contrary to our predictions, Community involvement was positively associated with Realistic interests but negatively with Artistic and Investigative interests. The comparison of the networks by gender revealed no significant differences in the interconnectedness between vocational interests and LHS indicators. These findings provide a modest support to hypotheses, but underscore the association between preferences for people-oriented occupations, particularly Social and Enterprising interests, and slower LHS indicators of sociability and self-control. Further research with broader measures of both interests and human LHS is needed.
Career guidance and counseling services (CGCS) in secondary schools are vital since they assist in the decision making process, academic achievements and employment opportunities of students. In the light of advancements and the overall extensiveness of the labor markets and specialization, the structured ways and means assist students to make the right choices logically on their education and career. This research therefore seeks to establish the extent to which the current career guidance programmes in secondary schools can influence students' career confidence, academic performance and career possibilities. A cross-sectional design was used for the study through the use of questionnaires to gather data from 500 students, 50 career counselors, and 100 teachers on the impact of career counseling on the students' academic and career choices. The studies show that the students receiving the career services were more confident in their career decisions, performed better academically and were more aware of their career prospects than the students who did not benefit from the services. Also important is the interaction with career counseling which also had positive effects on class performance and awareness of career choices. Despite these, it was evident that obstacles including few resources, few trained counselors, and parents' influence hindered the delivery of career counseling services. The findings show that career education should be included in the academic curriculum and made available to all students as well as improve career guidance systems to suit the current job market. These findings offer significant insight into how career guidance services could be enhanced for the benefit of the students, thus helping the educators, policymakers, and school administrators concerned with the welfare of their students as they plan for their future careers that would help them achieve success in life.
Purpose
This original research introduces autoethnography as an essential method for understanding contemporary career mobility. It offers a personal perspective that is missing from the protean career literature, despite its person-centered nature. It demonstrates how distinct advantages of autoethnography in self-reflection and narration can facilitate mindful navigation of career transitions. In a world where career paths and work environments are rapidly changing, a deliberate and reflective approach can distinguish between mere job changes and profound career transformations. By addressing this gap in academic literature, the research enhances the discourse on integrating boundaryless and protean career theories, enriching our understanding of career trajectories.
Design/methodology/approach
Utilizing the self as a case study, the author deploys analytic autoethnography to reflect on two life episodes where professional transformation was contemplated and career paths reformed.
Findings
This study demonstrates the interdependence between personal and profession life and offers an original analytical framework for investigation. The MEANING framework proposed in this study encompasses Motivation, Experience, Aspirations, Needs, Identity, Narrative and Goals. It contributes an innovative autoethnographic perspective on the protean theory, broadening its understanding.
Research limitations/implications
The study enriches vocational theory with a unique autoethnographic view, while offering individuals a meaningful framework for self-investigation as they contemplate career choices in life. Further research is essential to solidify the proposed framework.
Practical implications
This original study may assist practitioners and individuals seeking to understand personal career journeys within a modern, complex and dynamic workforce.
Originality/value
This original research makes two key contributions: first, it offers an innovative autoethnographic lens for understanding the boundaryless, protean career, and second, it introduces a new analytic approach for navigating modern career transitions - the MEANING Framework.
This study aimed to evaluate Romanian university students’ perceptions of career counseling and guidance (CCG) services provided in 2022–2023. A quantitative methodology was employed, analyzing survey data (n = 7402 respondents from 18 universities) to explore awareness of, utilization of, and satisfaction with such services. Data analysis via SPSS included descriptive statistics (mean, median, standard deviation), bivariate correlations (Pearson, Spearman), and Chi-Square tests to identify significant relationships between variables, such as academic year, knowledge of CCG staff/services, and overall service evaluation. Preliminary results suggest low rates of CCG awareness and use, highlighting a disparity between student needs and available resources. This study contributes to understanding the Romanian CCG context by integrating theoretical perspectives from the international literature on dropout prevention, workforce adaptability in the digital age, and higher education quality assurance models. Limitations regarding reliance on secondary data and subjective response biases are discussed, and directions for future research aimed at improving CCG efficacy and student career transition support are proposed. Complete findings will be presented in the full work, providing an empirical foundation for CCG policy and strategy development aimed at enhancing career guidance services in Romanian higher education.
Research is about asking and answering questions. One of the most important investments of time for a research investigator should occur before the study starts. This chapter considers the importance of well-defined research questions that have clear boundaries and scope. The specifics of the research methodologies such as sample size and data analysis are essential for high-quality research. Yet less emphasis is placed on the importance of the research question, the feasibility of the study, and the social impact of the investigation. This chapter argues that clinical research should be person- and community-centered. The population, intervention, comparator, outcome, and timeframe (PICOT) framework encompasses content that may be informative for those who use health care. The feasible, interesting, novel, ethical, and relevant (FINER) framework comes closer to focusing on questions and outcomes of importance to study participants. We offer a BASES (biases, awareness, social, equilibrium, specificity) model that builds on the FINER and PICOT systems to place greater emphasis on social context.
This book provides a comprehensive analysis of biases inherent in contemporary clinical research, challenging traditional methodologies and assumptions. Aimed at students, professionals, and science enthusiasts, the book delves into fundamental principles, research tools, and ethics. It is organized in three sections: The first section covers fundamentals including framing clinical research questions, core research tools, and clinical research ethics. The second section discusses topics relevant to clinical research, organized according to their relevance in the development of a clinical study. Chapters within this section examine the strengths and limitations of traditional and alternative methods, ethical issues, and patient-centered consequences. The third section presents four in-depth case examples, illustrating issues across diverse health conditions and treatments: gastroesophageal reflux disease, hypercholesterolemia, screening for breast cancer, and depression. This examination encourages readers to critically evaluate the methodologies and assumptions underlying clinical research, promoting a nuanced understanding of evidence production in the health sciences.
To advance understanding of career wisdom’s role and broaden empirical support for the dual-process theory of career decision-making and adaptation (DTC), the present study investigated the reciprocal relationship between career wisdom and proactive career behavior. Using a sample of U.S. workers ( n = 995), it tested a cross-lagged model of these variables across three time points. From Time 1 to Time 2, career wisdom positively predicted subsequent proactive career behavior while controlling for baseline proactive career behavior, and proactive career behavior positively predicted subsequent career wisdom while controlling for baseline career wisdom. From Time 2 to Time 3, career wisdom did not predict subsequent proactive career behavior when controlling for baseline proactive career behavior; however, proactive career behavior continued to positively predict subsequent career wisdom while controlling for baseline career wisdom. These findings offer important evidence in support of the DTC, underscoring the reciprocal benefits of career wisdom and proactive career behavior as well as the importance of their dialectical management. Limitations and directions for future research are also discussed.
This study explores the relationship between personality diversity and national economic performance, introducing the Global Personality Diversity Index ({\Psi}-GPDI) as a novel metric. Leveraging a dataset of 760,242 individuals across 135 countries, we quantify within-country diversity based on the Big Five personality traits. Our findings reveal that personality diversity accounts for 19.9% of the variance in GDP per capita and provides an additional 2.8% explanatory power beyond institutional quality and immigration, underscoring its unique contribution to economic vitality. Through multi-factor analysis, we demonstrate how personality diversity complements existing economic frameworks, offering actionable insights for policymakers seeking to enhance innovation, productivity, and resilience. This research positions psychological diversity as a critical yet under explored factor in driving economic growth, bridging the fields of psychology and economics.

Social sciences of all kinds are interested in latent variables, their measurement, and how they differ between groups. The present study argues the importance of analyzing mean differences between groups using the latent variable approach. Using an open-access repository of widely applied personality questionnaires ( N = 999,033), we evaluate the extent to which the commonly used observed sum score is susceptible to measurement error. Our findings show that Cohen’s d values based on the observed variance significantly misestimate the true group difference (based on just the factor score variance) in 33 of the 70 studied cases, and by an average of 25.0% (or 0.048 standard deviations). There was no meaningful relationship between the effect size discrepancy and scale reliability as measured by McDonald’s ω. We discuss the implications of these results and outline concrete steps that applied researchers can take to improve their analyses.
This research is to see how career problems are increasingly changing the nature of careers and causing the emergence of a more autonomous and independent career without boundaries. Generally in various forms of careers without limit is mobility. Individuals who move psychologically and physically begin to manage their careers in terms of their pursuits. In such a caIn such environment, the nature of career success has also changed. A career becomes an important and subjective thing that is only emphasized more than objective career success because individuals themselves meaningfully define and assess their career success by referring to the standards, needs, and values that they set themselves in an unstable environment. With the transmission of individual career responsibilities, it is necessary to develop competencies to find out why, know whose competencies, and know-how competencies emerge to survive and be successful. This study reviews the theoretical background of careers and the concept of a new career as a career without boundaries, in a constantly changing environment where it is impossible to be successful unless acquiring new competencies and methods of survival. New approaches to career success and the main reasons for emphasizing the development of subjective career success will also be examined
An berufsbildenden Schulen wird dem Lehrkräftemangel aktuell verstärkt durch die Rekrutierung von Quer- und Seiteneinsteiger:innen (QuSE) begegnet. Damit wird akademisch qualifizierten Fachkräften ohne Lehramtsbezug eine neue berufliche Option an berufsbildenden Schulen eröffnet, die für sie bislang kaum zugänglich war. Erkenntnisse über diese Gruppe, die in Zukunft das Bild berufsbildender Kollegien in besonderem Maße (mit)prägen wird, sind jedoch rar. Der vorliegende Beitrag basiert auf einer Befragung von n = 323 QuSE an berufsbildenden Schulen in ihrer nicht-akademischen Nachqualifizierungsphase. Neben ausgewählten sozio-demografischen Merkmalen der Gruppe werden die motivationalen Faktoren der Berufswahl nach dem Fit-Choice-Ansatz (Watt & Richardson, 2007) gemessen. Die durchgeführten Clusteranalysen zeigen, dass die Gruppe der QuSE durchaus abgrenzbare Untergruppen aufweist. Es handelt sich um Personen im mittleren Lebensalter, oft mit familiären Verpflichtungen, die überwiegend vorteilhafte Berufswahlmotive mitführen. Die Analyse konnte drei Cluster identifizieren, die vorliegend als ‘Die Idealisten’ (n = 116), als die ‘Die Moderaten’ (n = 179) und als ‘Die Unmotivierten’ (n = 25) betitelt werden. Die Ergebnisse können für die Konzeptionierung von zielgruppenadäquaten Professionalisierungsmaßnahmen genutzt werden.
This research aims to develop an adaptive music vocational program book as a guidebook for prospective music vocational teachers for visually impaired students. This book is designed in the context of facilitating prospective music teachers in delivering learning materials that are in accordance with the needs of visually impaired students in the field of music. The process of developing this book uses Research and Development (R&D) research methods with the Sustainable Instrument Development model consisting of Information Gathering, Planning, Establishing The Initial Product and Validating. At each stage, revisions are carried out in accordance with the newness of relevant knowledge. The development of the book is adjusted to the guidelines for becoming a level III music teacher to be more specific to visually impaired students with strategies and alternatives to learning music, such as the use of braille music notation, audio materials and learning material ideas that can help prospective music vocational teachers in learning music knowledge and skills for visually impaired students. The results of the study show that the developed books are relevant to the needs of visually impaired students and can be developed to improve the quality of individual music teachers in schools with a musical perspective in a special education environment. In addition, this book is also expected to be implemented and refined in terms of competency and accessibility units so that it can enrich the design of teaching methods that are more specific to the needs of visually impaired students.
In career counseling, the 20th century was dominated by traditional and modern theories; and the 21st century by postmodern theories. The new paradigm suggests that school practices should focus more on quantitative and qualitative techniques. In career interviews based on new techniques and models, the relationships between the themes in the stories of the clients are reconstructed, leading to improvements in the structure of life and facilitating decision-making in the current situation. Constructivist approaches, which continue to develop both in terms of literature and practice, are relatively new. In fact, it can be said that it is much newer in terms of both literature and practice in Turkey. In order to contribute to the literature and draw attention to post-modern approaches, this study, which was conducted as literature research, examined the constructivist approach, post-modern model suggestions, chaos theory, and multicultural career counseling approaches within the scope of post-modern approaches in career counseling.
This report investigates the impact of entrepreneurship training and innovation on the growth and sustainability of agribusinesses in Katete, a rural area facing unique challenges in agricultural development. However, their growth is often stifled by limited access to resources, infrastructure, and markets. The study focuses on how entrepreneurship training programs and innovation can serve as catalysts for overcoming these challenges and driving business success in the agricultural sector. In Katete, these programs have been found to significantly improve the management capabilities of agro-business owners, enhancing their decision-making abilities and overall business performance. Among those surveyed 60% of agribusiness owners who participated in formal entrepreneurship training reported substantial improvements in their operations. In areas where resources are scarce and market access is limited, innovative practices allow business owners to adapt to challenges and create new opportunities. First, there is a need to enhance access to entrepreneurship training through tailored programs that address the specific needs of rural agribusiness owners. Finally, increasing access to agricultural technologies, such as modern farming equipment and climate-resilient crops, can further boost productivity and sustainability in the sector. Implementing these recommendations can significantly enhance the growth and long-term viability of agribusinesses in Katete, improving livelihoods for local farmers and contributing to the region's overall economic development.
