Analysis of survey data (<i>N</i> = 507) through structural equation modeling reveals that economic constraints have a positive influence on work volition, career adaptability, and decent work perception, mediated by psychological resources. Qualitative findings illuminate how Confucian values of filial piety and collective responsibility transform economic challenges into motivational catalysts within Vietnamese cultural contexts. The findings elucidate culturally specific patterns in how economic challenges shape career development in Asian contexts, suggesting the need for sophisticated counseling frameworks that recognize the dialectical tensions between traditional values and contemporary career aspirations. These insights offer critical implications for employment counseling practice in developing economies, particularly regarding the cultural reframing of economic barriers as motivational accelerants rather than insurmountable obstacles.</p>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":45998,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Employment Counseling","volume":"63 1","pages":"15-27"},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2026-03-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147567856","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Job hopping, characterized by frequent changes in employment, has become increasingly prevalent in the Indian workforce, posing challenges for employers, employment counselors, and employees. To comprehensively understand the underlying factors driving job hopping behavior, this research adopts a mixed methods approach combining qualitative survey analysis with a partial least squares–artificial neural network (PLS–ANN) hybrid analysis. Employees’ experiences, motivations, and attitudes towards job hopping were obtained through open-ended surveys, and finally HEXACO model reflected their personality traits. Responses from 187 employees across diverse sectors such as marketing, finance, human resources, operations, and information technology helped in extracting perspectives on workplace dynamics and job hopping. The PLS–ANN hybrid approach enabled the identification of key predictors and their nonlinear relationships with job-hopping behavior, enhancing the predictive accuracy and robustness of the model. The PLS results revealed that all six HEXACO personality traits significantly and negatively influence job hopping intention (JHI), with conscientiousness, openness to experience, and agreeableness showing high effect sizes. The ANN analysis confirmed these findings, highlighting honesty as the most influential predictor of JHI, followed closely by openness to experience. Integration of qualitative and quantitative methods offers a comprehensive understanding of job-hopping behavior among Indian employees. The findings contribute to theoretical and practical insights for managers, employers, and employment counselors.</p>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":45998,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Employment Counseling","volume":"63 1","pages":"28-42"},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2026-03-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147569863","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The study focuses on how the counseling process shaped the participant's career goals and narrative identity. The research draws on in-depth data to capture the subjective experiences of the participant—a middle-aged, Muslim transgender individual employed in a service-related industry, who had discontinued a prolonged job search 3 months prior to the intervention. Designed as an intrinsic, qualitative single-case study, the research drew on three data sources: (a) the counsellor's session notes and reflexive journal, (b) H's pre- and postintervention Future Career Autobiographies, and (c) an evaluation form. The Career Construction Interview, role rehearsal, and Decisional Balance Sheet of Incentives operated as intervention tools. Data were analyzed with a reflexive thematic analysis and comparative narrative approach. Throughout the intervention, the participant engaged in a tailored counseling process based on the principles of Career Construction Counseling. The findings illustrate significant changes in the participant's career aspirations, identity reconstruction, and engagement with future possibilities. The findings also show a shift from stalled job search to renewed vocational agency, reconstruction of a coherent career-life story that integrates gender and faith identities, adoption of concrete, future-oriented action plans (e.g., targeted upskilling and networking), and increasing comfort in expressing themselves and being hopeful about career road. This study underscores the importance of culturally sensitive and identity-affirming approaches in career counseling, particularly within contexts shaped by conservative social values. Directions for future research involve testing these adaptations across larger transgender samples and diverse cultural settings.</p>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":45998,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Employment Counseling","volume":"63 1","pages":"43-56"},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2026-03-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147570386","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The findings revealed that both interventions significantly enhanced positive affect. However, the absence of significant differences between them suggests that both approaches are equally effective in improving positive emotional responses to stress. This study highlights the potential utility of both stress mindset and positive reappraisal techniques as tools for better stress management in real-life scenarios, such as job-seeking.

We look to find out how people have successfully transitioned in their careers against the expectations of their educational background. We analyzed the data through qualitative content analysis. The results show that essential factors of successful career transitions were intention, connection, and turn. Successful career transitions are best supported by employment counseling that empowers personal intentions, identifies supportive connections to other people, and concretizes possibilities of professional turns.
