Abstract

Acknowledging the evolving composition of modern workforces and nature of contemporary work, we offer a review and research agenda for integrating diversity process theory into career and vocational behavior research. Based on a review of theories that articulate how social identity shapes career outcomes, we highlight a need for additional theorizing that captures the dynamism and complexity of human experience and intersecting roles embedded within the career lifecycle. To address this need, we propose approaching the study of vocational behavior from a diversity process perspective. Integrating three diversity-related processes (identity, information processing, inclusion) across three career stages (career choice, adjustment, exit), we develop a model for exploring how diversity influences people's career experiences and transitions. Specifically, we identify five career transitions – identity-choice, information processing-choice, information processing-adjustment, inclusion-adjustment, and inclusion-exit – and discuss the underlying mechanisms for each. We also suggest specific directions for future research that respond to the increasing diversity and intersectionality of modern workforces and advances foundational insights into how individuals navigate their career experiences and trajectories. By bridging the gap between the career and diversity theoretical domains and offering a new perspective for researchers and practitioners in the field of career development, we hope to take an important step toward a more comprehensive, inclusive and socially responsive understanding of vocational behavior.

职业生涯周期中的多样性:回顾与研究议程
考虑到现代劳动力的构成和当代工作的性质不断变化,我们提出了将多样性过程理论纳入职业生涯和职业行为研究的综述和研究议程。在回顾阐述社会身份如何影响职业结果的理论的基础上,我们强调需要更多的理论来捕捉人类经验的动态性和复杂性,以及职业生命周期中的交叉角色。为了满足这一需求,我们建议从多样性过程的角度来研究职业行为。通过整合三个职业阶段(职业选择、调整、退出)中与多样性相关的三个过程(身份认同、信息处理、包容),我们建立了一个模型,用于探索多样性如何影响人们的职业经历和职业转换。具体来说,我们确定了五种职业过渡--身份选择、信息处理--选择、信息处理--调整、包容--调整和包容--退出--并讨论了每种过渡的内在机制。我们还提出了未来研究的具体方向,以应对现代劳动力日益增长的多样性和交叉性,并推进对个人如何驾驭其职业经历和轨迹的基础性洞察。通过弥合职业生涯和多样性理论领域之间的差距,并为职业发展领域的研究人员和从业人员提供一个新的视角,我们希望朝着更全面、更具包容性和社会响应性的职业行为理解迈出重要的一步。

期刊介绍: The Journal of Vocational Behavior publishes original empirical and theoretical articles offering unique insights into the realms of career choice, career development, and work adjustment across the lifespan. These contributions are not only valuable for academic exploration but also find applications in counseling and career development programs across diverse sectors such as colleges, universities, business, industry, government, and the military. The primary focus of the journal centers on individual decision-making regarding work and careers, prioritizing investigations into personal career choices rather than organizational or employer-level variables. Example topics encompass a broad range, from initial career choices (e.g., choice of major, initial work or organization selection, organizational attraction) to the development of a career, work transitions, work-family management, and attitudes within the workplace (such as work commitment, multiple role management, and turnover).
