“…This expression of a mixture of values is consistent with an individualism perspective (Takeuchi et al, 2021), whereby individuals adopt values that are functional for the situation and have these values reinforced by their expression and application. For example, young adult professionals would come to understand the need for post-graduate supervision and have internalized the need for finding work where they can find this (e.g., in an organization), and have this acknowledgment reinforced while at university.…”

“…Thus, the evidence suggests that adults and young people express a mix of career values that cover both more traditional hopes and desires (e.g., job security, organizational support for skills development) as well as values related to the protean career (e.g., career self-management, seeking self-satisfaction). Moreover, these value mixes have been shown to be related to improved outcomes for both adults (e.g., improved functioning at work; Chow et al, 2017) and young people (e.g., more successful school-to-work transition; Takeuchi et al, 2021). It is to be expected that traditional career values, which remain prevalent in the community and with parents are still normative for many (Gerber et al, 2009), are now complemented by contemporary career values in response to societal changes (e.g., increased job uncertainty, insecurity, and competition, brought on by wider economic and technological changes; Alonderienė & Šimkevičiūtė, 2018;Sortheix et al, 2019).…”

Indeed, Hall (1996) proposed that people are led inevitably to more of a self-management approach as they are exposed to 21 st -Century work environments, which reflects an individualism process during which young people adopt values that suit their labor market expectations and have these reinforced, extinguished, or replaced depending on their experiences (Takeuchi et al, 2021).…”

Although young people espouse a range of career values, the extent to which traditional career values inter-mix with protean values is unclear. We interviewed a group of young university students in Australia (N = 24, MAge 19.4 years; 50% young men) and examined the full range of traditional and protean values held. Employing applied thematic analysis, we found that freedom/autonomy and fit to self were dominant in protean career themes, while they strongly expressed a desire for job security in a traditional career. The results inform theory development in the career development area and can assist university career counselors.

This study reviewed how pro-goal task alignment (PGTA) developed from the root of agency theory, plays a role in strengthening perceived organizational support (POS) and organizational citizenship behavior (OCB) relationships. The study was conducted quantitatively using a digital questionnaire developed through Google forms.The study was for two months with a sample of 272 people. The results showed that PGTA managed to be an excellent catalyst in strengthening the relationship between POS and OCB. Furthermore, the model tests conducted also showed a good model achievement index. Therefore, this study suggests that PGTA can be implemented into a formal program given its role, which can significantly increase OCB.

Effective implementation and development of the career development programmes determine the economic growth of countries. The research aims to discuss and analyze the characteristics and elements of the students’ career opportunities. The results help the scholars select the proper type of analysis and appropriate tools to examine the elements of career opportunities. The sample consisted of 102 third and fourth year students from NJSC Toraighyrov University. The following methods and criteria were used to analyze the initial stage of the student career development: emotional intelligence (based on the methodology proposed by J. N. Hall), communication skills (Test of communication skills by L. Mikhelson), self-assessment (S. A. Budassi’s method of self-assessment), career value orientations (Edgar Schein’s Career Anchors), motivation for success (The Questionnaire by T. Ehlers). The surveys were conducted using Google Forms. The results helped to identify the characteristics and elements of the students’ career opportunities. The data collected at NJSC Toraighyrov University of the Republic of Kazakhstan show that 35% of students have a low level of emotional intelligence, 47% have addictive behaviors during communication, 31% of respondents have low self-esteem, lack of motivation for success was identified in 18% of students. Only a small number of students could clearly define their career orientations regarding Lifestyle Integration, Challenge and Management. The research suggests that it is important to introduce career development programmes that empower students and encourage them to build professional career paths in the future. Used as a learning framework, the Career coaching programme helps to design, develop, assess and implement each element of the career opportunities. The implementation advantages of the Career coaching programme for students as part of the educational process are discussed in the present research. The programme Career coaching will develop awareness and advance careers among graduate students. Moreover, it will provide a guideline for the first steps toward developing a successful career path.
