“…Thus one could argue that individuals who can handle the ambiguity well tend to have better career decision outcomes. While there has been extensive research investigating how people should collect and utilize the information to select a career (Nauta, 2010;Spokane, Meir, & Catalano, 2000), there has been much less research investigating the effect of information unavailability and inconsistency tolerance on career decision making. The focus of this study was to examine the role of ambiguity tolerance in career decision making.…”

“…There is evidence that a fit between the personality type and the study environment is related to higher levels of educational stability, satisfaction and achievement as reported by Holland [2] and Smart et al [7]. The personal benefits of finding and enrolling in an academic environment that matches one's interest and abilities include less stress, course retention, while the institutional benefits include less absenteeism, low dropout and high academic productivity.…”

“…This may help individuals to handle the stable aspects of career development (Spokane et al, 2000;Tinsley, 2000;Tracey et al, 2000). However, individuals need new career views to cope with change and the uncertainty aspects of career development as well (Delia Rocca & Kostanski, 2001;Herr, 1999;Herr, Cramer, & Niles, 2004 this thought, Gelatt (positive uncertainty;Gelatt, 1989Gelatt, , 1995, Cochran (narrative approach career counseling; Cochran, 1997), Krumboltz (planned happenstance theory; Mitchell et al, 1999;Krumboltz, 1998aKrumboltz, , 1998b, Pryor and Bright (career chaos theory; Pryor & Bright, 2003, 2007, and Valach & Young (contextual action theory;Valach & Young, 2004) have proposed postmodern approaches to career development.…”

T he Virtue Existential Career Model (VEC) is a Chinese career development model based on the Classic of Changes. It is designed to supplement the person-environment fit paradigm of Taiwan's 12-Year Basic Education for junior high school students. We adopted an action research approach with two parts, reflection-on-action and critical-emancipatory. An easy-to-use VEC career curriculum and a career information system (Career Genesis; CG) were developed by a team of staff members from government agencies (Tainan Department of Education and Student Counseling Centers), junior high schools, and the Chinese Career Research Center of National Changhua University of Education, Taiwan. The outcome of this project was strong on fostering interconnectedness. Implementing our VEC curriculum and CG to 30 junior high school students received statistically significant immediate increases in resilience, adaptation, and liking of career decision. The feedback and reflections suggest that mandating, attracting, and simplifying are useful strategies to promote our VEC model as well as to facilitate social change and create a multiple-win situation for all parties involved. This approach also follows the tao ( ) of the Classic of Changes to provide new knowledge.Keywords: career theory, career counselling, Chinese philosophy, indigenous psychology, career information system, Classic of Changes (Yi Jing) Taiwan has been transforming into a knowledge-based economy (also known as knowledge economy, frequently discussed with issues of informationalism, information revolution, knowledge sharing, knowledge management, intellectual capitalism; Al-Hawamdeh, 2005;Chen & Chiu, 2005;Hu, Lin, & Chang, 2005;Shie & Meer, 2010;So, 2005). The Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) defines a knowledge-based economy as 'economies which are directly based on the production, distribution and use of knowledge and information' (OECD, 2005 novating have become common occupational capacities at all levels and in all lines of work. In sum, workers need to acquire, utilise, and innovate upon their knowledge creatively. Aligned with the international trend of educational reform emerging in the era of knowledge-based economies, Taiwan has gone through educational reform during the past decades (I-ru, 2012;Lin, 2004). In 2014, Taiwan's Ministry of Education (TMOE) implemented its second education reform, the 12-Year Basic Education ( ), following the mandatory education requirement of 9 years, which began in 1968. The new reform is meant to encourage junior high school students to explore their abilities and interests before making their educational and career decisions for the 10th grade. With this agenda, career guidance, a subset of general education in junior high school, becomes a focus. Junior high schools are asked to promote career guidance courses and apprenticeships, and to embed career elements into regular courses so that The Wisdom of the Classic of Changes students can explore their career development and be exposed to s...
