John Holland
One trait-factor theorist
Career development is an interaction between a person and his/her environment
- If we know what a person is like, we can predict what type of occupation will most likely produce satisfaction and success
- If we assess a job closely enough, we can tell what type of person would be the best fit for it
Interests
- Are shaped by biology and environmental influences such as, family and culture

Holland's Hexagon
The themes closest to each other on the hexagon are more closely related
Those diagonal are less closely related to each other
Consistency - Holland
Degree of compatibility of your codes
Differentiation - Holland
The degree of strength of your dominant type
John Holland - Cont'd
Work environments are primarily dominated by a particular "person" type (RIASEC) because these individuals have a tendency to seek out others who share their interest, skills, and etc.
People move toward "congruent" (matching) environments like person-environment fit
Postulate that people will move out of incongruent environments
- If you find yourself in a group of people who, after you get to know them, have very little in common with you - you are unlikely to keep putting yourself in that environment if you have a choice
Few people are purely one type or another
- Most of use have some similarities to more than one type
We can "measure" people and environments and "match" them
People
- Strong Interest Inventory
- Self-Directed Search
- ACT Unisex Interest Inventory
Environments
We have classification systems of almost all occupations and majors by Holland's code
Congruence
Educational and vocational behavior can be predicted by examining the degree of compatibility or congruence between a person and his/her environment as defined by the hexagon model
An individual is highly congruent when he/she is in an environment whose type is identical to his/her person type
- A social person working in a social environment
Individuals who are highly congruent with their environment will be more satisfied, higher achieving, and more stable than individuals whose types do not fit their environments as well
Research on Holland
Person types do exist
Person types are relatively stable
There is a positive relationship between congruence and: job satisfaction, choice stability, academic performance, academic persistence, and personality
Four Sources of Bandura's Model of Perceived Self-Efficacy
Performance Accomplishments
Vicarious Experiences
Emotional Arousal
Verbal Persuasion
Performance Accomplishments - Bandura
Through the process of socialization, girls frequently have less exposure to stereotypically masculine activities
Thus, woman are frequently denied experiences which would allow them to experience successful performance accomplishments in these activities
Vicarious Experiences - Bandura
Although more women have more recently become involved in non-traditional tasks and occupations, women still constitute a minority in most nontraditional occupations
Such as role models and mentors
Emotional Arousal - Bandura
Various studies have found evidence of a link between femininity and high levels of anxiety
Self-efficacy theory maintains the more individuals are socialized to fit feminine sex roles, the higher their level of anxiety will be which will reduce their perceptions of efficacy for nontraditional occupations
Verbal Persuasion - Bandura
Discouraging or null environments
Environments which fail to give women the support and encouragement which facilitate self-efficacy for engaging in nontraditional tasks
Inseparability of Personal and Career Counseling
Carrer counseling is just as important to people's lives as is "mental health" or "personal" counseling
- Careers are intricately related to generally cannot be separated from relationships
- Careers are critical to people's self-esteem
- Difficulties in career pursuits can cause tremendous emotional pain
Borad Issues in Career Counseling
Stages of Development
- Career Choice (What should I do?)
- Implementation (How do I get where I want to go?)
- Adjustment (Now that I am here am I happy and doing well?)
People may need career counseling in any one of these stages
These three stages may recycle more than once in a person's life
Broad Issues in Career Counseling - Cont'd
Work Adjustment
- Didn't make a good choice the first time around (Poor fit)
- Person change over time (Values, interest, got burned out or is bored)
- The work environment changed (Different co-workers, new people brought into the company, or changed to policies and organizational culture)
Structured Assessment Methods
Aptitudes (Armed Services Vocational Aptitude Battery)
Interests (Strong Interest Inventory)
Values (Super's Work Values Inventory)
Self-Perceptions of Ability and Competence (Betz's Measures of Self-Efficacy Expectations)
Unstructured Assessment Methods
The Interview

- What have been your favorite courses in school?
- How do you like to spend your leisure time?
- What do you want out of a job?
- What do you want out of life?
- What things do you feel you are good at?
Trait Factor Theories
Assumptions
- There is one best fit job for each person

What are areas that give people problems?
- Lack of career choice

Self-Efficacy
Someone's confidence in their ability to do something is someone's self-efficacy

Strong Interest Inventory
Most thoroughly research and widely used interest inventory
Matches a person's interest with jobs, education, and leisure activities
Development (Introduced in 1927)
- Strong looked at similarity between client's interests and those of satisfied workers
- John Holland's theory of personality types added in 1974 revision (RIASEC)
There is 291 iterms
Indicate preferences from among five response options of inventory items made up of words, short phrases describing occupations, subjects areas, leisure activities, people, and personal characteristics
Strong Interest Inventory
Pattern of responses are compared to patterns of responses of people in differing occupations and with differing interests
Goal is to determine likelihood that a person will find satisfaction in work typically down in a given occupation
- Day to day activities of occupation are reflected in interest of those people employed in it
-Those with similar patterns of interest, compatible values and necessary knowledge and abilities will be satisfied in that occupation
Results are gender specific
Strong Interest Inventory
6 General Occupational Themes (GOTs)
30 Basic Interest Scales (BISs)
122 Occupational Scales (OSs)

Scores are rank ordered based on the GOT scores to make it easier to see overall trends
General Occupational Themes
GOTs provide global view of interests and occupational orientation
- Each theme is made up of at least 21 items
- Points are added or subtracted for "like" and "dislike" responses to each category
- Pay attention to two or three highest theme of RIASEC
- Interpretive comment is "very little" to "very high"

Points are added or subtracted for "likes" and "dislikes" responses for each category
Categorized by GOT
Can help to determine which part of the GOTs fit best for a person

Occupational Scales

Points are added or subtracted for each item according to respondent's similarity to occupational sample's response
Each scale only include items that differentiate satisfied orks from general representative sample
Categorized by GOT

- We also share many similarities with all humans (Physical/biological features, common life experiences, self-awareness)
