Abstract
The aim of this paper is to identify and explore 'enablers' to a lived calling: those people, things or events that pave the way for individuals to live their calling. These enablers emerged from a study of sixty-five Australian respondents across a range of industries. The results of the research, which utilised the grounded theory research methodology and collected data using semi-structured interviews, showed that the most prominent enablers to a lived calling were: (1) embracing opportunities and making the most of them; (2) support from others; (3) self-confidence/belief; (4) education and financial resources; (5) luck and (6) experience.
期刊介绍:
The International Journal for Educational and Vocational Guidance publishes articles in relation to work and leisure, career development, career counselling and guidance and career education, which have preferably either an international content (e.g. comparative studies, multi or cross-cultural perspectives, regional surveys, etc.) or contribute to topics of broad international interest (e.g. theoretical developments, ethical issues, etc.). Important national developments which are of wider interest can be included. All articles should present implications for practice.
