Vocational behavior 1988 1990 Vocational Choice decision making career development interventions and assessment
Journal of Vocational Behavior, 1991Co-Authors: Scott T. MeierAbstract:Abstract This article is the 16th in a series of yearly reviews of the Vocational behavior literature. In contrast to previous reviews, this work expanded the review period from 1 to 3 years and narrowed the scope of topics examined. The resulting literature demonstrates considerable breadth, but little depth. While this breadth reflects a solid foundation for the field, Vocational Choice, decision-making, intervention, and assessment have been studied using a plethora of constructs and scales that were often atheoretical and only superficially related to each other. I suggest that traditional measurement methods, though responsible for considerable success in Vocational research and practice, must be reexamined for renewed progress to occur.

Vocational preference and P-O fit: Reflections on Holland's theory of Vocational Choice
Applied Psychology, 2001Co-Authors: Adrian FurnhamAbstract:It is 40 years since Holland first proposed his theory of Vocational Choice. In that period it is probably true to say that it has attracted more research than any other Vocational guidance measure. This paper looks at the central concept in his theory (congruence) and other areas of Vocational guidance, namely “fit”. It also looks at current research issues relating to Holland’s theory. Particular attention is paid to the research papers that examine the overlap between the six (RAISEC) personality types of Holland and the consensually accepted “Big Five” factor view of personality theorists. Finally a summary of the major theoretical, empirical, and methodological problems in the area is discussed.

cultural context of career Choice meta analysis of race ethnicity differences
Career Development Quarterly, 2005Co-Authors: Nadya A. Fouad, Angela ByarswinstonAbstract:The authors focus on career counseling from a cultural perspective, using the proxy construct of race/ethnicity. They briefly describe traditional career counseling and critique the degree to which the myriad cultural contexts that shape clients' career development are incorporated into Vocational theories and practice. They conducted a meta-analysis of research that has investigated the relationship between culture and Vocational Choice variables and concluded (a) that race/ethnicity differences do not greatly affect career aspirations but (b) that there are differences among racial/ethnic groups in perceptions of career-related opportunities and barriers.

LEARNING DISABILITIES: AN IMPEDIMENT TO Vocational Choice OF SECONDARY SCHOOL STUDENTS IN NIGERIA:IMPLICATIONS FOR COUNSELLING
Sokoto Educational Review, 2017Co-Authors: Abubakar Sadiq HarunaAbstract:This paper presents Learning disabilities (LD) as an impediment to Vocational Choice and development of secondary school students in Nigeria. Learning Disabilities is a lifelong developmental problem that affects the learner's ability to learn effectively and make a Choice of the vocation of interest. The main thrust in the theories of learning disabilities is that LD is caused as a result of a subtle disturbance in the brain functions and structures. This problem is inherent in the individual thus inhibits learning abilities, social and psychological functioning of the learning disabled student. While the psychoanalytic view on Vocational Choice is positive for the normal student, it is however not the same for the learning disabled. Although factors as social, economic, psychological assets determine the Vocational Choice, the problem of Choice of vocation is however complicated for the learning disabled. This is because the presence of emotional conflicts interferes with the ability of the learning disabled to make a Choice. The major implication of these problems is that since the learning disabled students encounter emotional problems, occupation or the work environment should be adapted or altered so as to meet certain needs of the students. The recommendation offered suggests the establishment of model counselling and research centres in schools.

The impact of person-environment fit on grades, perceived gains, and satisfaction: an application of Holland’s theory
Higher Education, 2020Co-Authors: Louis M. Rocconi, Gary R. PikeAbstract:Holland’s theory of Vocational Choice is a powerful framework for studying academic environments and student development in college. This study tests Holland’s third proposition that students flourish in academic environments (i.e., majors) that are congruent with their personality types. In addition, we examine the extent to which student characteristics influence person-environment fit. Findings indicated that student characteristics and personality type were significantly related to person-environment fit. Moreover, person-environment fit is positively related to self-reported grades. However, person-environment was not significantly related to either perceived learning gains or satisfaction with college.

Students’ Personality Types, Intended Majors, and College Expectations: Further Evidence Concerning Psychological and Sociological Interpretations of Holland’s Theory
Research in Higher Education, 2006Co-Authors: Gary R. PikeAbstract:Because it focuses on the interactions between students and their environments, Holland’s theory of Vocational Choice provides a powerful framework for studying college experiences. The present study assessed the relative merits of psychological and sociological interpretations of Holland’s theory by examining the relationships among students’ expectations about college, their personality types, and their intended academic majors. Results indicated that both the psychological and sociological aspects of Holland’s theory aid in understanding students’ college expectations.
