Abstract

Abstract This study compared Dutch alumni who previously participated in an honors program (n = 72) to non-honors alumni who entered university as high-achieving high school students (n = 72) with regard to (1) final university grade point average (GPA) and (2) early career outcomes. Final grades were drawn from university files. Using an online questionnaire, participants were asked to rate themselves on work engagement and other characteristics in their current jobs. Results indicate that, compared to the non-honors control group, honors alumni had a higher study GPA at the end of their studies and higher work engagement after graduation, while job characteristics were found to be similar. Implications for educators and job recruiters are discussed.

学术成就和早期职业成就:荣誉校友和非荣誉校友能区别开来吗?

摘要本研究比较了以前参加过荣誉项目的荷兰校友(n = 72)和作为高成就高中生进入大学的非荣誉校友(n = 72)在以下方面的差异:(1)最终大学平均绩点(GPA)和(2)早期职业成果。最终成绩取自大学档案。通过一份在线问卷，参与者被要求对自己在当前工作中的工作投入和其他特征进行评估。结果表明，与非荣誉校友组相比，荣誉校友在学业结束时的学习GPA更高，毕业后的工作投入更高，而工作特征相似。对教育工作者和招聘人员的启示进行了讨论。

期刊介绍： High Ability Studies provides a forum for scholars in a variety of disciplines associated with the development of human abilities to their highest level. It is a medium for the promotion of high ability, whether through the communication of scientific research, theory, or the exchange of practical experience and ideas. The contents of this journal are unique in reflecting concerns and recent developments in this area from childhood and across the whole life span in a variety of contexts. Far from being restricted to the traditional focus on high-level cognitive development, it also presents investigations into all other areas of human endeavour, including sport, technology, the arts, business, management and social relations.
