Although career self-management presents inherent challenges for the general working population, these difficulties may be exacerbated for vulnerable groups. To date, however, empirical research on the career crafting behaviors of vulnerable populations remains scarce. To extend career crafting research to underrepresented groups, we explored the career crafting strategies that migrant women engage in to achieve their future work selves, as well as the influence of resource availability on the adoption of these strategies. Based on migrant women's career orientation and temporal focus (present vs. future), we identified four career crafting strategies: (1) career planning, (2) career balancing, (3) career architecting and (4) career navigating. Our findings suggest that migrant women do not solely adopt one strategy throughout their entire career. Instead, we conceptualize career crafting as an agentic process wherein individuals seek optimal fit between their career crafting strategy and their (migration) context at the current stage of their career. Consequently, we do not state that one strategy is optimal compared to others – rather that the optimum can be found when achieving the right contextual fit, particularly in the context of vulnerability. Our findings underscore the importance of acknowledging the enabling and constraining circumstances that influence career crafting strategies of migrant women.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":51344,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Vocational Behavior","volume":"165 ","pages":"Article 104218"},"PeriodicalIF":5.2,"publicationDate":"2026-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"146135492","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}

Extraversion is often assumed to be negatively related to listening, with widespread assertions that individuals lower in extraversion are better listeners. However, limited academic research has examined whether, to what extent, through which behavioral processes, or under what conditions extraversion influences listening in work-relevant contexts. Across four studies in varied listening contexts (general listening, project team listening, one-on-one meetings, and conference interactions), we found no support for the notion that individuals low in extraversion are perceived as better listeners in interpersonal contexts. Instead, results primarily show no relationship between extraversion and listening, and in a few cases, a positive relationship where individuals higher in extraversion are perceived as better listeners. Drawing upon theoretical perspectives from the listening and extraversion literature, we examine, but find minimal support for, the notion that differential mechanisms (i.e., intrusive interruptions, speaking proportion, positive affect, and self-focused attention) contribute to individuals low in extraversion being perceived as both better and worse listeners. Extraversion complementarity between the speaker and listener was also assessed, but not supported, as a moderator. These findings suggest that effective listening is better understood as a function of behavior and perception, not personality.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":51344,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Vocational Behavior","volume":"165 ","pages":"Article 104206"},"PeriodicalIF":5.2,"publicationDate":"2026-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145956500","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}

Using three-wave survey data collected from 298 hospital medical staff, our findings provide empirical support for the hypothesized model. Specifically, we demonstrate that high self-compassion not only alleviates anxiety stemming from promotion failure but also buffers the subsequent decline in employees' psychological, career, and life well-being that is induced by this anxiety. We further show that higher levels of self-compassion attenuate the detrimental impact of promotion failure on employees' well-being by weakening the mediating pathway of anxiety. Overall, this study underscores that self-compassion serves as an effective buffer against the negative consequences of promotion failure, offering employees an adaptive coping strategy to preserve their well-being amid such workplace setbacks.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":51344,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Vocational Behavior","volume":"165 ","pages":"Article 104217"},"PeriodicalIF":5.2,"publicationDate":"2026-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"146135493","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}
