“…Second, our study supports SCCT, in which affectivity is regarded as one of the individual characteristics that influence career-related self-efficacy and outcome expectations ( Thompson et al, 2017 ). In addition, this study broadens SCCT in that positive affect in daily life influences changes in career decision-making self-efficacy and career choice anxiety.…”

“…Social cognitive career theory (SCCT; Lent et al, 1994 ; Lent and Brown, 2013 ) is the most influential career theory that could explain the process of career decision-making and career-related attitude development. According to SCCT, self-efficacy expectancy and outcome expectations are crucial factors that directly or indirectly affect career-related outcome expectations, goals, behaviors, and performance ( Thompson et al, 2017 ). Based on SCCT, this study focused on self-efficacy related to career decision-making, namely career decision-making self-efficacy.…”

This study aimed, first, to determine whether the intra-individual variability in positive affect was related to the intra-individual variability in career decision-making self-efficacy, and career choice anxiety. The second objective was to examine whether social support moderates the relationship between affect and these outcome variables. The third objective was to find out how career decision-making self-efficacy and career choice anxiety change according to self-esteem and future time perspective. We conducted a study using the daily diary method in which participants were asked to rate their affect or attitudes for 21 consecutive days. In total, 128 university students participated in this study. The main results were as follows. First, positive affect was associated positively with career decision-making self-efficacy and negatively with career choice anxiety. Second, social support had a synergy effect with positive affect to influence career choice anxiety. Third, self-esteem was related positively to career decision-making self-efficacy and negatively to career choice anxiety. We discuss theoretical and practical implications.

“…En la actualidad, existe un gran cuerpo de investigaciones en torno a los modelos derivados de esta teoría (e.g. Atadero, Rambo-Hernandez & Balgopal, 2015;Bocanegra, Gubi & Cappaert, 2016;Chang & Edwards, 2015;Kaminsky & Behrend, 2015;Lee, Flores, Navarro & Kanagui-Muñoz, 2015;Lent, et al, 2015;Raque-Bogdan & Lucas, 2016;Roche, Daskalova & Brown, Efectos Efecto Indirecto Efecto Total 2016; Thompson, Dahling, Chin & Melloy, 2016;Thungjaroenkul, Cummings & Tate, 2016). La mayoría de estos estudios se han realizado en poblaciones estadounidenses, con estudiantes universitarios y pocos de ellos contemplan la influencia de las cuatro fuentes de información que dan origen a las creencias de autoeficacia.…”

RESUMENLa teoría social cognitiva de la carrera (SCCT; Lent, Brown & Hackett, 1994) se formuló originalmente con la finalidad de integrar diferentes modelos y constructos para lograr una comprensión más profunda de los mecanismos que regulan el desarrollo de los intereses vocacionales, la elección de la carrera y el rendimiento académico (Lent, et al., 1994, 2000). En la presente investigación se evalúa un modelo de intención de elección de carrera derivado de la SCCT. La muestra estuvo conformada por alumnos argentinos de la Escuela Secundaria, quienes respondieron a una serie de medidas sobre: fuentes de autoeficacia, creencias de autoeficacia, intereses e intención de elección de carrera. Estas medidas fueron analizadas en cada una de las seis tipologías planteadas por la teoría RIASEC (Realista, Investigador, Artista, Social, Emprendedor y Convencional) de Holland (1997). Los resultados indicaron un apoyo general a las hipótesis de la SCCT, las cuales proponen una influencia de las fuentes de autoeficacia sobre el origen de las creencias de autoeficacia y cómo estas, junto con los intereses, determinan las intenciones de elección de carrera, aunque no de forma homogénea en todas las tipologías planteadas por Holland. Se discuten los resultados para cada una de las tipologías y se consideran las limitaciones e implicaciones de estos hallazgos para futuras investigaciones.ABSTRACTSocial cognitive career theory (SCCT; Lent, Brown & Hackett, 1994) was originally formulated in order to integrate different models and constructs, to achieve a deeper understanding of the mechanisms that regulate the development of vocational interests, career choice and academic performance (Lent, et al., 1994, 2000). In this research, several hypotheses emanating from SCCT were tested. The sample was composed by Argentine high school students, who completed a series of measures, such as: sources of self-efficacy, self-efficacy beliefs, interests and intentions of career choice. These measures were analyzed in each of the six types raised in the RIASEC model (Realistic, Investigative, Artistic, Social, Enterprising and Conventional) of Holland. The results indicate general support for the hypothesis of SCCT, which suggest an influence of the sources of self-efficacy on the origin of self-efficacy beliefs and how they, together with interest, determine the intentions of career choice, but not evenly in all types raised by Holland. We consider the limitations and implications of these findings for further research.

“…An individual's attitudes towards work impact a person's ability to exhibit motivation, positive behaviour, and selfefficacy when engaging in job or job searching activities. Attitudes about work also impact career adaptive behaviours that describe individuals' engagement in developmental, instrumental, and self-regulatory strategies in the re-employment process (Thompson et al 2017).…”

Join the fight against poverty: utilizing HRD practices to support pathways to sustainable employment and decent work

HRD as a field has long been motivated by a humanistic view and concerns itself with national development, societal development, and critical issues in addition to performance improvement in organizations. For example, in 2006, an issue of Advances in Developing Human Resources (ADHR) explored national HRD policies and strategies on poverty alleviation in Brazil, Morocco, and the Philippines. In 2012, another ADHR issue addressed societal and community development linked to poverty alleviation. The same year, Storberg-Walker (2012), the editor of Human Resource Development Review (HRDR) at the time, called for a paradigm shift in the field of HRD for workforce development and public good. More recently, another past editor of the HRDR, Torraco (2018) argued for more HRD research to help break the self-perpetuating cycle that has trapped people of low-income and low education. The journal of Human Resource Development International is versed to this topic as well. A quick search using the keyword poverty yielded more than 60 publications in this journal. Scholars in HRD have acknowledged and encouraged studies that explore beyond organizational boundaries to look at different employment tiers and community development agencies designed to meet the specific needs of diverse groups of learners that include lowskilled and low-literacy populations. A recent interaction with a local community-based organization led me to investigate the potential of HRD practices to elevate individuals from poverty through increased employability and career adaptive behaviours. This organization started as an emergency relief food pantry in 2004 and has been making a steady effort to consistently renew itself. In 2014, the organization re-evaluated the meaning of helping people and determined that the purpose was not only to relieve them from short-term emergency needs but also assist them in moving towards dignified living. The organization redesigned its programming to offer a relationship-based programme aimed at increasing participants' social connection with the community, reduce isolation, and increase self-esteem through a dignified experience of being part of an organization. The relationship-based programme offers people the opportunity to sign-up for 'volunteer' work that will earn credit to shop at the store operated by the organization. While 'volunteering' at the store, the individuals socialize with other staff members, being part of a team. They also have opportunities to participate in financial education, computer literacy, GED training, personal development, job preparedness, adult education classes, and have access to a computer lab. Recently, the organization initiated an evaluation process using structured interviews to track its progress and seek improvement ideas. The findings revealed very positive perceptions of the social relationship built through the 'volunteer' work. The participants
