Ann Roe (needs approach)

These factors influence the needs structure each child developed:

A
  • genetic factors
  • environmental experiences
  • parent-child relations
  • — three parenting styles: overprotective, avoidant, acceptant (results in the child developing a personality that gravitates (moves towards) people or away from people)

also important: unconsicous motivators, current needs, interests (people/things), education, intelligence
- genetics help to determine intelligence and education, and hence this influences one’s career choice

Her approach is based on psychoanalytic, and draws on Maslow’s hierarchy of needs
- also known as person-environment theory

Ann Roe (needs approach)

Major determinants of the needs structure

A

Parental influences and early childhood experiences
- early child-rearing practices influence later career choices - job is major source of gratification for unconscious needs
Needs that are satisfied do not become unconscious motivators; higher-order needs will disappear even if they are rarely satisfied, but lower order needs (like safety) will be major concern
- needs which are satisfied after long delay will become unconscious motivators

90

93
Q

Mark Savickas

Life design as a paradigm for career intervention

A

individuals construct careers through identifying and presenting small stories in response to a few questions
- these stories are deconstructed with the help of the counselor and then reconstructed
- using these small stories, the counselor co-constructs with the client a life portrait or identity narrative and assists the individual to construct this career story into a new episode
- focuses on contextual possibilities, nonlinear progress, dynamic processes, multiple perspectives, and personal patterns which represent the world of work today
- takes into account the changing nature of the workplace including the need for workers to be flexible, continuously employable, and have the ability to be temporary, contingent, casual, freelance, and self-employed

94

97
Q

Trait and Factor (Career Counseling Approach)

Developed by Frank Parsons (Father of Guidance)

A
  • sometimes called actuarial/matching/structural approach (because it uses empirical statistical data)
  • Parsons wrote Choosing a Vocation which was published in 1909
  • this approach stimulated the development of assessment techniques (tests and inventories) and occupational info gathering
  • first major and most durable theory of career choice
    Critique of this theory:
  • oversimplified because it assumes that there is “a single job for life”
  • assumes that an individual’s traits can be measured so accurately that the choice of occupation is a one-time process
  • Computer programs often use trait and factor model
98
Q

Trait and Factor (Career Counseling Approach)

Is trait-factor grounded in differential psychology?

99
Q

Trait and Factor (Career Counseling Approach)

Trait-Factor

A
