Vocational behavior and career development, 1978: A review

Vocational Stability and Congruence: An Examination of Holland's Proposition

“…1. Job stability refers to a person's length of time in a job (Klein & Weiner, 1977;Rosen & Rosen, 1972) and is often associated with (a) job tenure (O'Reilly & Caldwell, 1980), (b) turnover (Bartol, 1981), or (c) job change (Kanzaki, 1976;Salomone, 1974;Walsh, 1979).

Periodic critiques of the research literature on vocational behavior and career development by Osipow (1976), Betz (1977), Zytowski (1978), and Walsh (1979) provide additional insights into the background theory of Holland's (1973) propositions and related empirical findings. Walsh (1973) also provided a thorough summary and critique of five person-environment interaction models based on six attributes of formal theories (i.e., comprehensiveness, clarity and explicitness, operational adequacy, incorporation of known findings, parsimony, and generation of empirical research).…”
