TL;DR: In a follow-up study of over 17,000 individuals born 12 years apart (in 1958 and 1970) as mentioned in this paper, two types of analytical models, a mediating model and a contextual systems model, were used to analyze the processes by which the effects of social structure influence teenage aspirations and subsequent occupational attainment.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors report the results of analyzing longitudinal data, collected for a subsample of the 1970 British Birth Cohort Study surveyed at age 21, to model the relationship of NEET status to earlier educational achievement and circumstances and assess the added difficulties NEET poses in relation to the building of adult identity capital.

TL;DR: The Multidimensional Work Ethic Profile (MWEP) as mentioned in this paper is a 65-item inventory that measures seven conceptually and empirically distinct facets of the work ethic construct.

TL;DR: A series of meta-analyses examined the 24 samples to date that have revealed the overlap of the three most widely used measures of Holland's Big Six domains of vocational interest, namely the Self-Directed Search (Holland, 1985a), the Strong Interest Inventory (Hansen & Campbell, 1985; Harmon, Hansen, Borgen, & Hammer, 1994), and the Vocational Preference Inventory (HOLLAND, 1985b), with the most widely accepted measure of the Big Five personality factors.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors tested the psychological contract as an explanatory framework for attitudinal differences across work status (i.e., whether employed on a part-time or full-time basis).

TL;DR: This article used qualitative methods to examine the perceived influences on college students' selection and implementation of career choices and found that person factors and work-relevant experiences were frequently cited bases for choice selection, although contextual factors (e.g., financial constraints, social supports) were among the most salient barriers and supports to choice implementation.

TL;DR: The authors examined the mechanisms by which negative affectivity (NA) influences two directions of work-family conflict: work interference with family (W> F conflict) and family interference with work (F> W conflict).

TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigate the effects of a few previously studied factors such as job involvement, organizational commitment, and job satisfaction, and add two more individual factors (need for achievement and work ethic) as well as some situational variables (organizational uncertainty/fear of job loss and job fit) that, to the best of their knowledge, have not been investigated in previous research.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors consider how recent social changes in the United States may affect vocational decision making and suggest that social policies may need to be modified to facilitate the young people's quest for vocational identity and work.

TL;DR: The authors examine the doctoral student-faculty advisor dyad as a developmental relationship and investigate how gender, race, and perceived similarity are related to doctoral student perceptions of mentoring received.

TL;DR: In this paper, the relative effects of general organizational context and work-family context on several important employee outcomes have been investigated, including job satisfaction, affective commitment, and trust.

TL;DR: The Personal Globe Inventory (PGI) as mentioned in this paper is an exploratory work on the spherical structure of interests (Tracey, 1997a; Tracey & Rounds, 1996a,b) and measures activity preferences, activity competence beliefs, and occupational preferences.

TL;DR: This paper conducted a factor analysis of the Career Decision Scale, Career Factors Inventory, and Career Decision Difficulties Questionnaire with undecided college students to explore the indecision domain and found six reliable factors: Lack of information, need for information, Trait Indecision, Disagreement with others, Identity Diffusion, and Choice Anxiety.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the social prestige of three indicators of aspirations, i.e., "dream job", "vocation I am interested in", and apprenticeship applied for.

TL;DR: This paper found that self-reported behaviors reflecting selection, optimization, and compensation (SOC) predicted global and work-specific subjective well-being (multiple correlations ranged from R=.22 to R.44).

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used two longitudinal data sets from the United States and Germany covering the school careers from Grade 7 to Grade 10, and found that achievement information is the best predictor of career relevant decisions in both nations, and parents' background variables are independent additional predictors of career decision but not for actual learning progress.

TL;DR: This article explored the relation of perceived family-of-origin interaction patterns (e.g., quality of family relationships, family-supported goal orientations, and degree of control and organization in the family) to vocational identity and career decision-making self-efficacy.

TL;DR: The authors investigated the extent to which the appraisal of work-related goals in terms of their importance, level of achievement, and positive emotions would predict young adults' subsequent success in finding a job after graduation from vocational school and how their success in dealing with this transition would predict how they reappraise their goals later on.

TL;DR: This article examined the incremental role of personality, self-efficacy, and interests in explaining level of educational aspirations in a sample of 365 college students, and predicted that each of these domains would make independent contributions to explaining the educational aspirations (1= bachelor's, 2= master's, and 3= doctorate).

TL;DR: In this article, the authors identify those factors that facilitate readiness for the transition from high school to work, using an open-ended interview with 17 high school juniors from two diverse school systems, finding that the availability of work-based learning, supportive adults, and an active orientation to the adult world were associated with objective aspects of readiness.

TL;DR: In this article, a longitudinal study with young adults in two German labor-market regions showed that the dual system not only trains for certain occupations, but also socializes for the contingencies of the labor market.

TL;DR: In this paper, a field experiment was conducted to assess the effects of pre-employment interventions on newly hired telemarketers, including realistic job preview (RJP), expectation-lowering procedure (ELP), a combination of RJP and ELP, and the control condition (minimal socialization).

TL;DR: In this article, the meaning of career and research on career development, adopting prospective, longitudinal research designs, and concentrating first on processes of development and then on the content of careers.

TL;DR: The authors examined three hypotheses concerning human capital investment by older individuals using the Adult Education (AE) file from the 1995 National Household Education Survey (NCES) and found that older adults' human-credentialing programs, targeted career and job-related courses, on-the-job computer-based training, and "unspecified" other formal training activities.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examine the validity of person-environment (P-E) congruence, adopting a job analytic method to assess the environment and using P-E difference scores to compute congruences, to predict a range of intrinsic career outcomes.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors explored the convergence between vocational interests as measured by the Strong Interest Inventory (Hansen & Campbell, 1985) and two competing personality models: the Big Five (Big Three) and the Big Three (Big Six).

TL;DR: The authors examined personal and relationship influences on attitudes toward multiple role planning, specifically preparing to combine work and partnership roles, and found that marriage plans related positively to knowledge and certainty about multiple role-planning.
