Abstract

Career calling is a pervasive, purposeful, transcendent, and passion-driven approach to a job that is perceived as central to individuals’ identity, that contributes to the greater good, and for which individuals are willing to make sacrifices. Research on the dynamics of career calling has grown exponentially, but clarity on whether and how a career calling changes during key life transitions is still lacking. In this article, we report the results of a two-wave study in which changes in perceiving a calling, living out a calling, and calling motivation were compared across groups of college students ( n = 781), college-to-work transitioners ( n = 143), and workers ( n = 270). The results show that perceiving a calling is stable for students, decreases during college-to-work transitions, and slightly increases for workers; living out a calling is stable for students, decreases during college-to-work transitions, and slightly decreases for workers; motivation to pursue a calling is stable in all groups and higher for students entering the job market. Workers have lower levels of perceiving and living out a calling than students.

你的职业怎么了?大学到工作转型过程中召唤的发展

职业召唤是一种普遍的、有目的的、卓越的、激情驱动的工作方式，它被认为是个人身份的核心，有助于实现更大的利益，个人愿意为此做出牺牲。关于职业召唤动态的研究呈指数级增长，但关于职业召唤是否以及如何在关键的人生转变中发生变化的清晰性仍然缺乏。在本文中，我们报告了一项两波研究的结果，在该研究中，我们比较了大学生(n = 781)、从大学到工作的过渡者(n = 143)和工人(n = 270)在感知召唤、实现召唤和召唤动机方面的变化。结果表明，大学生的职业召唤感知是稳定的，在大学到工作的过渡阶段有所下降，而工人的职业召唤感知略有增加;对学生来说，实现自己的使命是稳定的，在从大学到工作的过渡期间会下降，对工人来说则略有下降;在所有群体中，追求职业的动机都是稳定的，进入就业市场的学生追求职业的动机更高。与学生相比，工人对职业召唤的感知和实践水平较低。

期刊介绍： The Journal of Career Assessment publishes methodologically sound, empirically based studies focusing on the process and techniques by which counselors and others gain understanding of the individual faced with the necessity of making informed career decisions. The term career assessment, as used in this journal, covers the various techniques, tests, inventories, rating scales, interview schedules, surveys, and direct observational methods used in scientifically based practice and research to provide an improved understanding of career decision-making. The focus is not just testing, but all those means developed and used to assess and evaluate individuals and environments in the field of career counseling and development.
