“…In the current study, we found living out a calling to correlate in the expected direction and with similar intensity to presence of a calling (rT1 = .67; rT2 = .71) and calling motivation (rT1 = .44; rT2 = .43). The single-item measure of living out a calling showed a test-retest reliability of rT1-T2 = .56 (r = .60 among stable students and r = .59 among stable workers), which is in line with previous results obtained using the multi-item measure of living out a calling (r ranged between .53 and .75; Duffy et al, 2014;Duffy et al, 2022).…”

“…Changes in the experience of a calling have been investigated over the last 10 years both at the individual (Duffy et al, 2022;Hirschi & Hermann, 2013;Vianello et al, 2020;Zhang et al, 2021;Zhang et al, 2018) and group level Dalla Rosa et al, 2019;Dobrow, 2013;Duffy et al, 2011;Praskova et al, 2014). These studies highlighted that calling is not a stable trait but a dynamic and malleable phenomenon (Dik & Shimizu, 2019;Lysova et al, 2019;Vianello et al, 2020).…”

Career calling is a pervasive, purposeful, and passion-driven approach to work that is central to the individuals’ identity, contributes to the greater good, transcends their self and for which they are willing to make sacrifices. Research on the dynamics of career calling has grown exponentially, but clarity on whether and how a career calling changes during key life transitions is still lacking. In this article, the results of a two-wave study are reported in which changes in perceiving a calling, living out a calling, and calling motivation were compared across groups of college students (n = 781), college-to-work transitioners (n = 143), and workers (n = 270). The results show that perceiving a calling is stable for students, decreases during college-to-work transitions, and slightly increases for workers. Living out a calling is stable for students, decreases during college-to-work transitioners, and slightly decreases for workers. Motivation to pursue one’s calling is stable in all groups and higher for students entering the job market. Workers have lower levels of perceiving and living out a calling than students. The implications of these results are discussed.

“…If the work environment is unsupportive, lacks opportunities for personal growth and development, or is driven primarily by financial incentives rather than a sense of purpose, employees may experience a decline in their sense of calling. Future research should investigate other possible explanations for the decrease in calling and the lower level of calling among workers that were observed in this study and previous investigations (Duffy et al, 2022;Vianello et al, 2020;Zhang et al, 2021).…”

“…For the purpose of this study, we tested whether correlations with living out a calling were attenuated by unreliability. In previous studies, living out a calling was found to correlate with the presence of a calling (r ranged between .32 and .68; Duffy et al, 2012;Duffy et al, 2019;Duffy et al, 2022) and calling motivation (r ranged between .45 and .51; Duffy et al, 2019). In the current study, we found that living out a calling correlated in the expected direction and with similar intensity to the presence of a calling (r T1 = .67; r T2 = .71) and calling motivation (r T1 = .44; r T2 = .43).…”

“…Individuals who believe that careers can be improved and achieve their future goals tend to feel that they are truly living out their calling, rather than those who believe that careers are destiny. Calling is the drive that a person feels in achieving a goal [7]. Having a calling helps employees feel attachment to their work because it provides meaning, although it does not guarantee job security [8].…”

This study builds on Burnette’s SOMA model. The research was conducted to test the premise that a growth mindset of work predicts living a calling and to explore the mediating role of self-regulation in the influence of a growth mindset of work on living a calling. The process in Burnett’s SOMA model includes goal setting, goal operation, goal monitoring, and goal achievement. In this theoretical model, a growth mindset as a motivational construct predicts self-regulation. Data analysis uses the PLS method with the help of SmartPLS software. The research was conducted at PT United Tractors Tbk, located at Jl.Raya Bekasi KM 22 Jakarta, for three months. Research results: A growth mindset of work has a positive but insignificant effect on living a calling, with PValues of 0.244. A growth mindset of work positively and significantly affects self-regulation, PValues of 0.000. Self-regulation has a positive and significant effect on living a calling, with PValues of 0.002. It can mediate (full mediation) a growth mindset of work on living a calling on Employees of PT United Tractors Tbk Jakarta.
