Abstract

PurposeUsing latent profile analysis, the authors explored the career profiles of young adult tertiary students (N = 468, 73.9% women; mean age 20 years) to determine the relative importance of traditional career orientation (TCO) and protean career orientation (PCO) beliefs for them.Design/methodology/approachYoung adults studying at university can aspire to traditional career experiences as they believe organizations will support their professional and career development. However, since the development of newer career models, the TCO model has received little research attention compared to the PCO.FindingsThe authors found that the dominant profile exhibited average levels of TCO, PCO and career competencies, and that this mixed profile was associated with more mature career identity development and greater organizational commitment. A second profile, with low TCO, average PCO and career competencies, showed a similar level of career maturity to the mixed profile, but exhibited less organizational commitment. A third profile, with average TCO, low PCO and career competencies, especially vocational identity awareness, was related to less career development and organizational commitment.Originality/valueThe findings suggest that a mixed traditional-protean orientation is common in young adult tertiary students and that the development of a vocational identity is important for positive career outcomes, regardless of orientation.
“新职业”简介为年轻人结合传统和多样化的职业定位和能力
目的采用潜在特征分析,探讨青年大学生职业生涯特征(N = 468,女性73.9%;平均年龄20岁),以确定传统职业导向(TCO)信念和多样化职业导向(PCO)信念对他们的相对重要性。设计/方法/方法在大学学习的年轻人可以渴望传统的职业经历,因为他们相信组织会支持他们的专业和职业发展。然而,由于新的职业模型的发展,与PCO相比,TCO模型得到的研究很少。研究结果作者发现,占主导地位的员工在TCO、PCO和职业能力方面表现出平均水平,而这种混合形象与更成熟的职业认同发展和更大的组织承诺有关。第二种情况是TCO、平均PCO和职业能力较低,其职业成熟度水平与混合情况相似,但组织承诺较低。TCO平均、PCO低、职业能力(尤其是职业认同意识)较低的职业发展和组织承诺程度较低。独创性/价值研究结果表明,在年轻的成年大学生中,混合的传统-多样化取向很常见,并且职业认同的发展对于积极的职业成果很重要,无论取向如何。

期刊介绍: Careers and Development are inter-related fields of study with connections to many academic disciplines, organizational practices and policy developments in the emerging knowledge economies and learning societies of the modern world. Career Development International provides a platform for research in these areas that deals with questions of theories and theory development, as well as with organizational career strategy, policy and practice. Issues of theory and of practice may be dealt with at individual, organizational and society levels. The international character of submissions may have two aspects. Submissions may be international in their scope, dealing with a topic that is of concern to researchers throughout the world rather than of sole interest to a national audience. Alternatively, submissions may be international in content, relating, for example, to comparative analyses of careers and development across national boundaries, or dealing with inherently ''international'' issues such as expatriation. Coverage: -Individual careers - psychological and developmental perspectives -Career interventions (systems and tools, mentoring, etc) -Government policy and practices -HR planning and recruitment -International themes and issues (MNCs, expatriation, etc) -Organizational strategies and systems -Performance management -Work and occupational contexts
