We adopt an identity lens to understanding ambition as pursuing an <em>aspirational self</em>, i.e., a possible self that the person sees as both highly desirable and highly improbable. 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}

By conducting a 10-day experience sampling study, we find that supervisors' daily social sharing of stress can promote their state of recovery from stressful working conditions and thus improve their daily job satisfaction. However, supervisors' daily social sharing of stress can trigger concerns about losing control over their subordinates, which can decrease their daily job satisfaction. Furthermore, the strength of the two effects is bounded by the supervisors' motives behind social sharing (i.e., expressive orientation and instrumental orientation), respectively. Specifically, expressive orientation can strengthen the impact of supervisors' daily social sharing of stress on their state of recovery, and instrumental orientation can weaken the influence of supervisors' daily social sharing of stress on their concerns about losing control over subordinates.

From an approach-avoidance lens, the boss adage suggests that voluntary turnover is about escaping from somebody negative, which neglects potential approach-oriented reasons. We organize common turnover reasons within the motivational framework of approach and avoidance and explore whether and to what extent avoidance-oriented turnover reasons (among them boss issues) really outweigh approach-oriented ones. Leveraging different data sources—a systematic literature review, an online survey, and exit interviews—we also pursue a combinational approach and discuss findings from a measurement perspective. Overall, findings suggest that avoidance-related turnover reasons are somewhat more important than approach-oriented reasons. Stress (due to work overload) emerged as the most important avoidance-related reason, followed by boss issues. Yet, these two reasons were rarely employees' sole turnover reasons. Avoidance- and approach-oriented reasons often occurred in combination, and approach-related reasons such as the opportunity for advancement elsewhere were sometimes equally or even more important. Further, approach-oriented reasons related to advancement were more salient in exit interviews, and boss issues were more salient in employee online-reviews of their former employers. Altogether, we conclude that the boss adage is too much of a simplification of the complex reality of approach-and-avoidance-related turnover reasons. We further conclude that turnover reasons should be understood considering their assessment purpose and that it is meaningful to consider different combinations and types of leaving. Finally, we present ideas on how future research can utilize the approach-avoidance-perspective on turnover reasons.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":51344,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Vocational Behavior","volume":"158 ","pages":"Article 104099"},"PeriodicalIF":5.2,"publicationDate":"2025-02-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143611124","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}

Furthermore, we found that the positive impact of ingratiation and the resulting social support on task crafting was strengthened by general structural resources, defined in terms of job characteristics that delineate the motivational potential of a job. Specifically, the interactive effect of social support and structural job resources was more pronounced when structural resources were lower.
