“…As philosopher Nussbaum has pointed out, emotions inform our learning -they are an 'essential contributor to the way we think and learn about life's deepest mysteries, especially our personal vulnerability, our dependence on others, and about the way we can support the flourishing of ourselves and other people' (Plumb, 2014, p. 146). Finally, emotional resilience is also needed in the face of setbacks and unpredictable changes in our working lives (Krumboltz, Foley, & Cotter, 2013) -indeed the complexity, insecurity and individualisation already mentioned at the beginning of this section cause existential uncertainty that cannot be resolved by engaging with rationality alone.…”

Writing as soul work refers to the active engagement of students in transformative writing activities in a group setting with the aim to enable students to develop new, more empowering narratives. This article explains how soul work through writing can be used to foster career adaptability, expressed in the form of increased awareness and self-direction. We summarise the labour market realities that underlie a need for more narrative approaches and introduce writing as soul work as a potential method to respond to these contemporary career challenges. We define what is meant by soul work and writing, illustrate its use with several stories from practice, and make recommendations for teachers and implementation in institutions. ARTICLE HISTORY

“…De qualquer modo, estes resultados devem ser interpretados com alguma prudência, uma vez que o percurso laboral dos participantes neste estudo era, à data da última avaliação, relativamente curto, havendo mesmo vários participantes que ainda não tinham completado a transição da escola para o mundo de trabalho. Seria, por isso, interessante averiguar futuramente se os filhos únicos, quando comparados com outras configurações na fratria, estão mais preparados para enfrentar as múltiplas transições de carreira (e.g., emprego -desemprego, desemprego-reemprego, emprego-escola-emprego) com que se irão deparar ao longo da vida (Fouad & Bynner, 2008;Krumboltz, Foley, & Cotter, 2013).…”

Data were taken from an ongoing longitudinal study that followed a large sample of participants from elementary public schools until their late twenties. Regarding academic attainment it was found that, as young adults, the only children had achieved more school grades than their peers; but when participants were distributed in two subsamples the differences between the only children and children with siblings disappeared in the last subsample. Regarding professional achievement, it was found that only children started to work later and took fewer jobs than their peers. No other differences were found between the two groups in the remaining variables of academic and professional achievement in early adulthood. Les résultats ont montré que, en moyenne, les enfants uniques ont terminé plus d´années scolaires que les autres; mais dans une analyse plus détaillée les différences entre les deux groupes ont eté trouvées seulement au niveau de l´enseignement sécondaire (c´est à dire, la douzième année). Concernant la transition pour le monde du travail, on a remarqué que les enfants uniques faisaient ce passage plutôt et avaient experimenté plus d´

“…Later, the revised Happenstance Learning Theory (Krumboltz, 2009, 2011; Krumboltz et al, 2013) proposed a counseling process with the following yin - yang -mixed type of strategies: (1) orienting the client to viewing unplanned events as necessary and normal to initiate a ready mode; (2) setting the goal of creating more satisfying lives to induce career action, (3) expressing empathic understanding of the client's situation and concerns to unfold a counseling process, (4) identifying the client's past success to strengthen self-efficacy and support current action, (5) assisting the client to capitalize on unplanned events for learning and exploration, (6) brainstorming the next action step with the client to produce desirable chance events; (7) helping the client to overcome blocks to action, (8) following up the client's action and reinforcing their success in the real world, and (9) in case of need, helping the client to overcome fear of making mistakes and to take action.…”

Virtue Existential Career Model: A Dialectic and Integrative Approach Echoing Eastern Philosophy

et al. 2016

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Our Virtue Existential Career (VEC) model aims at complementing western modernism and postmodernism career theories with eastern philosophy. With dialectical philosophy and virtue-practice derived from the Classic of Changes, the VEC theoretical foundation incorporates merits from Holland typology, Minnesota Theory of Work Adjustment, Social Cognitive Career Theory, Meaning Therapy, Narrative Approach Career Counseling, and Happenstance Learning Theory. While modernism considers a matched job as an ideal career vision and prefers rational strategies (controlling and realizing) to achieve job security; postmodernism prefers appreciating and adapting strategies toward openness and appreciates multiple possible selves and occupations, our model pursues a blending of security and openness via controlling-and-realizing and appreciating-and-adapting interwoven with each other in a dialectical and harmonious way. Our VEC counseling prototype aims at a secular goal of living on the earth with ways and harmony (安身以法以和) and an ultimate end to spiral up to the wisdom of living up to the way of heaven (天道) with mind and virtue (立命以心以德). A VEC counseling process of five major career strategies, metaphorical stories of qian and kun, and experiential activities are developed to deliver VEC concepts. The VEC model and prototype presented in this research is the product of an action research following Lewin's (1946) top-to-down model. Situated structure analyses were conducted to further investigate the adequacy of this version of VEC model and prototype. Data from two groups (one for stranded college graduates and the other for growing college students) revealed empirical supports. Yang type of career praxes tends to induce actualization, which resulting in realistic goals and concrete action plans; yin type of career praxes tends to increase self-efficacy, which resulting in positive attitude toward current situatedness and future development. Acceptance and dialectic thinking often result from yin-yang-blending career praxes. Growing developers benefit from a strategy sequence of yang-yin-synthesized; stranded developers from a strategy sequence of yin-yang-synthesized. Our contributions and limitations are discussed in the context of developing indigenous career theories and practices for a globalized and ever-changing world.
