While worker well-being is linked with productivity and engagement, little is known about the well-being journeys of FLWs in precarious, low-paid, low-status roles. We conducted qualitative research with precarious FLWs to investigate the effects of the interplay of their personal and work experiences on their lifelong well-being journeys. We uncover the influential role of the interaction between external events (jolts) and salient resources on well-being trajectories. Precarious FLWs with resources proactively engage in job crafting in response to positive or negative jolts. However, those with few or no resources respond to positive jolts by yearning to craft but remain frozen in the face of negative jolts. In addition to extending the employee well-being literature to include FLWs in precarious roles, this research makes two important theoretical contributions. First, the interaction of jolts and resources reveals a four-part typology explaining precarious FLWs' crafting engagement and intensity—striving, rebounding, yearning, and frozen—thus empirically underscoring the theorized psychosocial dynamism of precarity. Second, by integrating crafting, positive organizational scholarship, and conservation of resources theories, we illuminate the underlying mechanisms governing the influence of jolts and resources on behaviors and, ultimately, identity and well-being. Our theory offers guidance for employers seeking to enhance precarious FLWs' well-being and improve organizational outcomes.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":51344,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Vocational Behavior","volume":"157 ","pages":"Article 104097"},"PeriodicalIF":5.2,"publicationDate":"2025-02-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143260504","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, is such a trajectory optimal for boosting women's STEM career attainment? If so, among which types of STEM occupations? Studies often suggested that women are underrepresented in the pipeline of “white-collar”, mathematical, engineering, physical, and computer science (MEPCS) occupations, but to what extent does this conclusion hold true among other types of STEM careers? To answer these questions, we plotted men's and women's STEM career trajectories from age 13 to 25 using a U.S. national longitudinal sample and categorized occupations by domain-specific knowledge (i.e., non-STEM, MEPCS, or LEHMS [life, ecological, health and medical sciences]) and by educational requirement (i.e., “blue-collar” non-STEM, \"blue-collar\" STEM, \"white-collar\" non-STEM, or “white-collar” STEM). We found gender similarities in STEM attrition, gender differences in STEM entry, and gender differences in STEM career attainment trajectories. For example, STEM workers rarely took a “no leak pipeline”, except women in LEHMS occupations. Moreover, tracking the size of STEM workforce longitudinally, we found that though small, women's MEPCS workforce expanded to nearly twice its size as participants grew from age 13 to 25; in contrast, the LEHMS workforce shrank to less than a third of its size among both men and women. Our results specify aspects in which STEM trajectories of men and women differ across various types of STEM occupations and thus provide an updated understanding of gendered STEM career trajectories.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":51344,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Vocational Behavior","volume":"156 ","pages":"Article 104067"},"PeriodicalIF":5.2,"publicationDate":"2025-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142889349","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

As such, our research contributes to our understanding of promoting employee resilience, crossover effects, and promoting employee well-being. In doing so, we integrate COR theory and Crossover theory to elucidate personal resource crossover as it pertains to supervisor and employee resilience.

Results suggest WIF was negatively, and father involvement was positively, related to life satisfaction at all timepoints, and that father involvement partially mediated the relationship from WIF to life satisfaction across all timepoints.

However, having social capital is one thing, and being able to use it is another thing. In the seminal social resources theory, the social mobilization process is theorized as a key intermediary process to transform social capital into valued job or career outcomes (Lin, 1999, 2001). Despite its importance, social capital mobilization has received limited scholarly attention, possibly due to the empirical challenges of measuring it as real-time events or individual behaviors over an extended career trajectory. We innovatively bypass this long-standing methodological challenge by focusing on the social capital that has already been mobilized at some point in time. We argue that social capital is mobilized from time to time and accumulates into mobilized social capital stored within an individual's social network. Through a qualitative study, we inductively identified three forms of mobilized social capital in the networks of retrieval, referral, and reinforcement (3Rs), which respectively capture the retrieval of career-related information, opportunities arising from social connections, and productivity spillover from social contacts. In a subsequent quantitative study, we employed a whole-network approach in a small high-tech start-up to operationalize these 3Rs and found that retrieval and reinforcement were positively associated with two career success outcomes (i.e., salary and career satisfaction), while referral was positively associated with supervisor-rated promotability.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":51344,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Vocational Behavior","volume":"157 ","pages":"Article 104094"},"PeriodicalIF":5.2,"publicationDate":"2025-01-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143077680","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
