Abstract: Abstract Having effective career planning attitudes is a significant psychological resource for dealing with occupational burdens, unanticipated conflicts, and ambivalences in business area. The major purpose of the study was to reveal whether Turkish undergraduates’ career planning attitudes were shaped by their trait emotional intelligence, cognitive flexibility, and resilience levels, or not. Two hundred forty-four undergraduates in a private university participated in the study. Revised Schutte Emotional Intelligence Scale, Cognitive Flexibility Inventory, and Resilience Scale were used to figure out the predictive roles of these variables on career construction skills (career adaptability, career optimism, and perceived knowledge about job market) measured by Career Futures Inventory. Multivariate regression analysis showed that trait emotional intelligence, cognitive flexibility, and resilience were pivotal predictors of Turkish youth’s career construction deeds. The findings are essential for Turkish career counselors to consider how Turkish undergraduates’ career development can be facilitated by focusing on these resources.

Abstract: Abstract The study aims at validating the Career Decision-Making Adaptability Score (CDA Score) by investigating its predictive influence on objective and subjective career success, career adaptability, and psychological well-being over a 1-year period. Furthermore, the predictive influence of additional career decision-making strategies was scrutinized. Regression analyses of data from 78 employed individuals from two measurement time points demonstrated that the CDA Score predicts yet unexplored variables (e.g., psychological well-being) and consulting with others contributes to career adaptability and satisfaction. The findings extend research on career decision-making, validate the CDA Score longitudinally, and offer directions for the design of career counseling services.

Abstract: Abstract This paper enquires into how disadvantaged Hungarian Roma youth make decisions concerning their educational and early career trajectories, who guides them, and whether the main guidance agents and services are available to them particularly at the time of their school-to-work transition (STWT). Data was collected in a Hungarian city and its surroundings among 35 Roma young people between the ages of 18 and 30 through life-course interviews. In this paper, I analyse respondents’ life trajectories in respect of three forms of guidance they received, aiming to describe the mix of ‘substitute guidance’ Roma young people obtain, and its influence on their choices with respect to STWT. Findings suggest that the messy set of formal and informal guidance agents, services, and activities in Hungary tends to be contingent, discontinuous, segmented, non-specialized, and biased.

Abstract: Abstract This study assessed the effectiveness of employment programs components, which resulted in the identification of content and process components that increase employability. Employment program use was studied among 1172 United States of America military veterans to determine which content (i.e., interviewing skills) and process (i.e., working with a mentor/coach) components influence job attainment during a time of career and identity transition. Components were distilled utilizing a common components analysis approach (Morgan et al., 2018). Associations with finding employment up to 15 months after the military-to-civilian transition were explored. Veterans who engaged with employment programs were primarily accessing the following components: career planning, resume writing, and interviewing skills. However, only a few content components were significantly related to obtaining employment: interviewing (with mentor/coach), resume writing (online tools), translating military to civilian work (with mentor/coach), entrepreneurship (with mentor/coach), and virtual career fairs. Furthermore, not all processes or modes of instruction for content components were associated with success in the job market. Having a mentor/coach was one of the most effective delivery strategies. For example, veterans using programs delivered by a mentor/coach that translated military skills to civilian work were more likely to find a job at 6–9-months (84%) and 12–15-months (91%) post military separation. In addition, risks that predicted lower use of employment program components by veterans were identified such as junior enlisted rank, combat exposure, combat arms occupation, and physical health problems. With these findings, program developers, implementers, and funders can channel efforts towards the utilization of employment programs with effective components.

Abstract: Abstract This study aims to validate a predictive model of school counselors’ burnout from occupational activities through occupational identity suffering (OIS). OIS is defined as the psyche battle between the individual’s need for professional accomplishment and the inability to recognize one’s profession in daily work duties. Tested among 269 guidance counselors working in school settings (Quebec, Canada), the model proposes that OIS is positively predicted by administrative work and negatively predicted by guidance and counseling activities. In turn, OIS should positively predict burnout. Results from structural equation modeling mostly support the model. Implications for prevention of school counselors’ burnout are discussed.

Abstract: Abstract The protean career orientation is descriptive of workers who show self-directedness and values-driven behaviors toward professional advancement. Such characteristics have been highly demanded from professionals in the past decades, evidencing their identification and development relevance. Considering that identifying construct structure and invariance is critical for effective measurement and both theory-building and practice, this study aimed to adapt and obtain internal and external validity evidence of the Protean Career Measure to the Brazilian context. Participants were 558 professionals (67% women). Exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses resulted in a unidimensional model. They provided evidence of configural, metric, and scalar invariance between men and women. Also, they showed convergence between the protean career orientation and career models based on other characteristics (kaleidoscope, adaptability, and work engagement). Finally, results showed that the protean orientation tends to be higher, according to the participants’ life/career stages’ advancement. We discuss the application for research and interventions.

Abstract: Abstract This study aimed to examine whether and how organizational factors (i.e., procedural justice) are associated with psychological flourishing, an optimal mental state. Path analysis was conducted among 195 Chinese mental health professionals (females = 69%; Mean age = 30 years) in Macao, and results showed that emotional exhaustion partially mediated the positive association between procedural justice and psychological flourishing, whereas emotion regulation significantly diminished the effects of procedural injustice on emotional exhaustion. Our findings highlight the emotional mechanisms underlying the influence of organizational procedures on employees’ wellbeing, and wellness programs for enhancing employees’ emotional regulation skills are recommended.

Abstract: Abstract Teachers play a critical role in facilitating the career and life planning of secondary school students. This paper describes the development of the Career-Related Teacher Support Scale (Hong Kong Secondary Students Form). Based on data obtained from 493 students in Hong Kong, five types of career-related teacher support were identified with the most important form of support being teachers’ knowledge about the world of work and study path requirements. A correlation model yielded the best fit to the data. No variance in response pattern appeared across genders, and the new scale was found to have good validity and reliability.

Abstract: Abstract This study aims to analyse the Effectiveness of Career Construction Counselling in fostering career adaptability, adaptation of responses, and vocational identity in a sample of 41 participants, of whom 21 were assigned to the intervention group and 20 to the control group. Measurements of outcomes, with regard to adaptability, adaptation of responses, and vocational identity were applied at the start of counselling, the end of counselling, and 3 months after intervention. Findings revealed both the effectiveness of this approach to facilitate career adaptation strategies and the stability of the gains achieved throughout the intervention. Finally, the limitations of the study and its implications for research and practice are discussed. PubDate: 2023-10-01 DOI: 10.1007/s10775-022-09532-4

Abstract: Abstract The present study investigated adolescents’ emotional anticipation profiles at the prospect of high school graduation and examined whether these profiles were similar across gender, educational track, and grade. Our results shed light on profiles that were distinct in level and shape: a Positive Anticipatory–Positive Anticipated emotions profile, a Mixed Anticipatory–High Anticipated emotions profile, a Mixed Anticipatory–Low Anticipated emotions profile, a Negative Anticipatory–High Anticipated emotions profile, and a Positive Anticipatory–High Anticipated emotions profile. Contrasting with variable-centered results, differences across gender, educational track, and grades were found to be rather qualitative in nature (i.e., different profile shape and prevalence) than quantitative (i.e., differences in emotional levels). Our findings offer important insights in understanding adolescents’ anticipation of important life and educational transitions. PubDate: 2023-10-01 DOI: 10.1007/s10775-022-09528-0

Abstract: Abstract This study aimed to examine longitudinal effect whether work volition is associated with academic satisfaction, and test the moderating effect of implicit theories about work volition on this association among female college students in Chinese (N = 586). Results indicated that work volition was positively associated with academic satisfaction, and this link was stronger for those with an incremental theory than those with an entity theory. These results provide an insight into understanding the link between work volition and academic satisfaction that is underpinned by integrated two psychology theories including the psychology of working theory and social-cognition theory. The implications and limitations are discussed. PubDate: 2023-10-01 DOI: 10.1007/s10775-022-09542-2

Abstract: Abstract Many studies have found that supported employment (SE) has effectively helped people with severe mental illness obtain and maintain competitive employment. However, most SE studies have asked “What works'” rather than discerning what works for whom, in what circumstances, in what respects and how. It is important to understand the outcomes of SE and identify the impact factors (contexts and mechanisms) that can trigger them. Four literature databases were searched for studies that analyzed counseling settings. Overall, 104 publications met the inclusion criteria. The review showed that most of the research on SE programs were one-dimensional, looking at either the effects of SE programs, the client or the professional, or the relationship between clients and professionals. The model reveals that impact factors are interconnected and can have a cumulative impact on the client, professionals, and the environment. PubDate: 2023-10-01 DOI: 10.1007/s10775-022-09533-3

Abstract: Abstract Sustainable development goals are used as guidance for future career and life design. The importance of including young people in the sustainability process is recognized also by recent vocational guidance literature. Nevertheless, the assessment of the Sustainable Development Goals itself presents a challenge. For these reasons, we validated a specific assessment instrument to investigate adolescents’ propensity to point out how much each of the 2030 Agenda goals for sustainable development may affect their future design. This article reports the development and psychometric requisites of the “Goals for Future Design of the 2030 Agenda.” The scale recalls the 17 Sustainable Development Goals. The study involved 554 high school students. Initial exploratory factor analysis factorial structure showed a four-factor structure of the 17-item scale: (1) social/health, (2) environment/nature, (3) human rights/equal economic development, and (4) policy and democracy. A single-factor second-order structure also emerged from the confirmatory factor analysis. The results support the use of the scale in vocational guidance and career counselling activities to promote adolescents’ life design in a sustainable and inclusive way. PubDate: 2023-09-15

Abstract: Abstract This study investigated the relationship between job crafting (cognitive crafting, task crafting, and relational crafting), informal learning, innovative behavior, and the moderating effect of the perceived error management climate. This research used data from 316 Korean employees of a large firm. While cognitive crafting did not directly affect innovative behavior, we found statistically positive effects on task and relational crafting. Informal learning mediated the relationship between cognitive, task, relational crafting, and innovative behavior, while the perceived error management climate moderated the relationship between cognitive crafting and informal learning. This study provides practical and theoretical implications based on the results. PubDate: 2023-09-08

Abstract: Abstract Support and influences on adolescents’ career choices come from a variety of sources. However, studies comparing the importance given to various sources of support are few, and none have analyzed differences in the support provided by mothers and fathers. This study aimed to examine quantitatively the importance given to support from various sources in a sample of 432 Swiss adolescents at two points in time in the period of choice and to explore qualitatively experiences related to support given/received by 10 mother–child dyads in the career choice process. The overall results endorse the mother as the main source of support. PubDate: 2023-09-02 DOI: 10.1007/s10775-023-09624-9

Abstract: Abstract Based on prospective data from 291 pre-service preschool teachers in Northwest China, this study attempted to clarify the relationship between work volition and major–job congruence and the mediating effect of major satisfaction. Results showed that work volition at Wave 1 was associated positively with major–job congruence. Major satisfaction at Wave 2 served as a mediator linking work volition at Wave 1 and major–job congruence at Wave 3. The findings provide new avenues to understand how critical personal psychological resources and well-being are in a changing and bumpy world of work.

Abstract: Abstract In recent years, to better face university paths, the first approaches to the labor market, and then the actual university-to-work transition, university students are asked to have broader skills, such as the ability to network, to be involved in career-related issues, and to explore the characteristics of occupations as much as personal ones. This study aims to verify the psychometric properties of the Italian translation of the Career Resources Questionnaire–Adolescent version (CRQ-A; Marciniak et al., 2020) among two samples of undergraduate students (N1 = 270; N2 = 184). Differently from the original version, exploratory factor analysis and confirmatory factor analysis suggested a 10-factor structure. Reliability and validity were confirmed. The results indicate that the Italian version of CRQ-A is a valid multidimensional instrument for exploring undergraduate students’ career preparedness, consequently favoring universities in their role of preparing students for the decoding of the labor market and themselves as future workers. Résumé. Ces dernières années, pour mieux affronter les parcours universitaires, les premières approches du marché du travail, puis la transition université-travail proprement dite, on demande aux étudiants universitaires d'avoir des compétences plus larges, telles que la capacité à travailler en réseau, à s'impliquer dans les questions liées à la carrière et à explorer les caractéristiques des professions autant que les caractéristiques personnelles. Cette étude vise à vérifier les propriétés psychométriques de la traduction italienne du Career Resources Questionnaire-Adolescent version (CRQ-A ; Marciniak et al., 2020) auprès de deux échantillons d'étudiants de premier cycle (N1 = 270 ; N2 = 184). Contrairement à la version originale, l'analyse factorielle exploratoire et l'analyse factorielle confirmatoire ont suggéré une structure à 10 facteurs. La fiabilité et la validité ont été confirmées. Les résultats indiquent que la version italienne du CRQ-A est un instrument multidimensionnel valable pour explorer la préparation à la carrière des étudiants de premier cycle, ce qui favorise les universités dans leur rôle de préparation des étudiants au décodage du marché du travail et d'eux-mêmes en tant que futurs travailleurs. Zusammenfassung. In den letzten Jahren wird von Universitätsstudenten verlangt, dass sie über umfassendere Fähigkeiten verfügen, wie z. B. die Fähigkeit, sich zu vernetzen, sich mit berufsbezogenen Fragen zu befassen und die Merkmale von Berufen sowie persönliche Eigenschaften zu erkunden, um den Übergang von der Universität ins Berufsleben besser bewältigen zu können. Diese Studie zielt darauf ab, die psychometrischen Eigenschaften der italienischen Übersetzung des Career Resources Questionnaire-Adolescent Version (CRQ-A; Marciniak et al., 2020) unter zwei Stichproben von Studenten (N1 = 270; N2 = 184) zu überprüfen. Anders als bei der Originalversion ergaben die explorative Faktorenanalyse und die konfirmatorische Faktorenanalyse eine 10-Faktoren-Struktur. Reliabilität und Validität wurden bestätigt. Die Ergebnisse deuten darauf hin, dass die italienische Version des CRQ-A ein valides multidimensionales Instrument zur Erforschung der Berufsvorbereitung von Studenten ist und somit die Universitäten in ihrer Rolle unterstützt, Studenten auf die Entschlüsselung des Arbeitsmarktes und auf sich selbst als zukünftige Arbeitnehmer vorzubereiten. Resumen. En los últimos años, para afrontar mejor las trayectorias universitarias, los primeros acercamientos al mercado laboral y, posteriormente, la propia transición universidad-trabajo, se pide a los estudiantes universitarios que tengan habilidades más amplias, como la capacidad de establecer redes de contactos, de implicarse en cuestiones relacionadas con la carrera profesional y de explorar las características de las ocupaciones tanto como las personales. Este estudio tiene como objetivo verificar las propiedades psicométricas de la traducción italiana del Cuestionario de Recursos de Carrera-Versión para Adolescentes (CRQ-A; Marciniak et al., 2020) entre dos muestras de estudiantes universitarios (N1 = 270; N2 = 184). A diferencia de la versión original, el análisis factorial exploratorio y el análisis factorial confirmatorio sugirieron una estructura de 10 factores. Se confirmaron la fiabilidad y la validez. Los resultados indican que la versión italiana del CRQ-A es un instrumento multidimensional válido para explorar la preparación profesional de los estudiantes universitarios, favoreciendo en consecuencia a las universidades en su papel de preparar a los estudiantes para la decodificación del mercado laboral y a ellos mismos como futuros trabajadores.

Abstract: Abstract Language is a carrier of culture, identity, and skills that impacts vocational behaviors. However, the role of English language in Asian international students’ experiential sources of self-efficacy has not been assessed. The present study aims to explore the relations between sociolinguistic experiences, including English proficiency (EP) and perceived language discrimination (PLD), and experiential sources of self-efficacy (prior success, verbal persuasion, vicarious learning, and physiological and emotional states) in a sample of 124 Asian international students in the USA. Results from a polynomial regression model with response surface mapping indicated that the agreement between EP and PLD was associated with prior success and verbal persuasion only for students at extremes. The discrepancy between EP and PLD was associated with prior success and verbal persuasion linearly. Suggestions for future research and implications for vocational guidance are discussed in terms of supporting Asian international students. PubDate: 2023-08-17 DOI: 10.1007/s10775-023-09620-z

Abstract: Abstract The current article explores the impact of work–family conflict (WFC) on work engagement, as well as the potential mediating role of psychological detachment and the moderating effect of gender. A total of 203 Chinese preschool teachers were randomly recruited for this experiment. Results showed that WFC has a significant negative influence on work engagement. The relationship between WFC and work engagement was mediated by psychological detachment, explicitly and implicitly. Further results revealed that gender could only moderate the relationship between WFC and explicit psychological detachment. Practical implications and recommendations for future preschool educational and vocational guidance are discussed. PubDate: 2023-08-07 DOI: 10.1007/s10775-023-09619-6
