In this paper, we argue that these efforts to adjust and fit in can, paradoxically, enable newcomers to stand out. We focus on a specific way in which newcomers can stand out—by constructively challenging the organizational status quo. Although such challenge-oriented behavior is potentially risky, as it may antagonize incumbents, it holds great promise for organizations seeking new ideas and fresh perspectives on a status quo that many incumbents may have become blind to. Specifically, we investigate newcomer voice behavior—the upward communication of challenging but constructive ideas, suggestions, and concerns—and whether and when supervisors endorse such input. Informed by sensemaking theory, we argue that supervisor endorsement of voice critically depends on the organizational socialization of newcomers as this enables them to communicate ideas, suggestions, and concerns in ways that resonate with incumbents. We test our model using matched supervisor-newcomer data (i.e., 108 dyads), distinguishing between promotive (suggestion-oriented) and prohibitive (problem-focused) voice. We find that supervisors are generally receptive to newcomer promotive voice but tend to not endorse problem-focused voice from less-adjusted newcomers. Overall, our research provides novel, theory-driven insights into organizational socialization and newcomer voice endorsement, cautioning organizations against rejecting newcomer input that may be difficult to make sense of.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":51344,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Vocational Behavior","volume":"160 ","pages":"Article 104126"},"PeriodicalIF":5.2,"publicationDate":"2025-04-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143873211","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Insights from both career and behavioral ethics research can help address this issue. While career research so far lacks systematic investigation into the morality-career relationship, behavioral ethics research overlooks the developmental and career-related outcomes of individual morality. This points to a critical need for dialogue between these two fields. An initial analysis of core theories and concepts in career research reveals the scant inclusion of moral variables. Through our systematic review of a final sample of 43 articles, we identify gaps in understanding the interplay between morality and career dynamics, particularly concerning career options (including decisions and opportunities) and both subjective and objective career success. By leveraging the specific insights extracted from the literature review, our aim is to bridge the morality and career research domains. We highlight discrepancies and untapped areas in this field, proposing future research directions concerning (1) the role of morality in career decisions and opportunities, (2) the nexus between morality and career success, and (3) employees' implicit beliefs about this relationship. Furthermore, we consider implications for measurement and career counseling. Altogether, we advocate for a fresh research focus on exploring the impact of individual morality on career development.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":51344,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Vocational Behavior","volume":"160 ","pages":"Article 104127"},"PeriodicalIF":5.2,"publicationDate":"2025-04-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143899123","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, how such key aspects are related over time remains not well understood. In this six-wave longitudinal study across 30 months, we investigate the intra-personal dynamics between career self management actions (i.e., environmental exploration), career knowledge (i.e., labor market knowledge), and attitudes (i.e., career decidedness). Based on a sample of 1132 students in 8th grade in Switzerland, we tested a random intercept cross-lagged panel model (RI-CLPM) to examine within-person dynamics while accounting for stable between-person differences. We found a dynamic link between these variables, in that increases in environmental career exploration predicted subsequent increases in career knowledge and career decidedness. Moreover, increased career knowledge and career decidedness predicted subsequent increases in environmental exploration.

We find that aspirational selves create a state of <em>motivational ambivalence</em>, in which people are caught between two conflicting motivations: to achieve their aspirational self and to protect themselves from likely failure. These conflicting motivations drive people to vacillate between <em>promotion-focused enactment</em> (enacting an aspirational self as a primary career, with significant resources and risks— “going all in”) and <em>prevention-focused enactment</em> (enacting an aspirational self through daydreaming or as a hobby, with limited resources and risks— “dipping one's toes”). Over time, these enactment experiences recalibrate individuals' assumptions surrounding what is desirable and possible, ultimately refining their understanding about what career success means and shifting the balance either in favor of promotion (in which case individuals commit to achieving their aspirational selves) or in favor of prevention (in which case individuals become demotivated and postpone or forego this pursuit). This model expands our understanding of possible selves, illuminates the complexity of the link between identity and motivation, provides novel insights into identity enactment, and offers several theoretical contributions to research on non-standard careers.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":51344,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Vocational Behavior","volume":"160 ","pages":"Article 104124"},"PeriodicalIF":5.2,"publicationDate":"2025-04-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143870478","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
