A Systematic Review of the Career Adaptability Literature and Future Outlook

This study investigates burnout and work engagement in layoff survivors. Layoff survivors are defined as individuals who remain working at organizations that have recently had layoffs. Job demands (job insecurity and work overload) and job and personal resources (social support, optimism, career adaptability, and career management self-efficacy) are examined as predictors of burnout and engagement. The sample consists of 203 adults currently working at organizations that downsized within the past year. As hypothesized, job demands had positive relationships with burnout, while social support, optimism, and career management self-efficacy had positive relationships with engagement. Contrary to hypotheses, career adaptability was not positively related to engagement. Engagement also mediated the relationships between several resources and burnout. This study makes a unique contribution to the literature, as little research has examined personal strengths of layoff survivors, in addition to job characteristics.

Career adaptability has been frequently applied for understanding the career development of students and adults; however, the concept has rarely been exploited for understanding the career adaptation of college student-athletes. The present study used the career construction model of adaptation as the framework for identifying the moderated mediation of student-athletes’ career behaviors. A total of 233 college student-athletes were recruited as participants in this study. Data collection was conducted through the use of paper questionnaires. The results indicated that career adaptability could partially mediate the relationship between future work self-salience and proactive career behavior among college student-athletes. In addition, athletic identity moderated the relationship between future work self-salience, career adaptability and proactive career behaviors. When an individual has a weak athletic identity, the mediating effect of career adaptability in this relationship is strengthened. By expanding the use of the career construction model of adaptation, the research results can offer guidance to university and consultation centers in the cultivation of student-athletes’ career development.

Veterans in Transition: A Correlational Investigation of Career Adaptability, Confidence, and Readiness by Schleurious LaVan Gaiter MS, University of Maryland, University College, 2004 MS, Georgetown University, 1995 MS, University of Florida, 1983 Doctoral Study Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Education Walden University April 2015 Abstract Thousands of service persons and veterans may be leaving military service annually without required skills and not receiving timely career counseling and interventions needed to aid in their career transitions. Knowledge about service persons’ career adaptability, confidence, and readiness could enhance the actions of all stakeholders to address the challenges that accompany career transitions and may aid in identifying needed counseling and interventions. Using a survey containing the Career Transitions Inventory and the Career Futures Inventory–Revised, perspectives were obtained from service persons (N = 264) while attending Transition Assistance Program workshops. Two research questions for the study examined associations between individuals’ career adaptability and 2 transition variables: confidence and readiness. Statistical testing was accomplished using Pearson correlation coefficient, t test, and 1-way analysis of variance. Correlations of transition confidence and overall career adaptability scores indicated a low negative correlation (r (262) = -0.4299, p < .01), and correlations of transition readiness and overall career adaptability scores indicated a low positive correlation (r (262) = 0.3988, p < .01).

In addition, significant differences were noted when examining survey results based on demographic variables such as race, education, marital status, highest pay-grade achieved, and years of service. This study contributes to social change by demonstrating techniques for assessing personal traits. Implications are discussed for using self-reported data for counseling and interventions for individuals, which could enhance their career transition experiences.

Veterans in Transition: A Correlational Investigation of Career Adaptability, Confidence, and Readiness

The authors present the constructivist resume, an original approach developed to promote professional identity development and career adaptability (i.e., concern, curiosity, confidence, and control) in students completing graduate-level counselor training programs. The authors discuss underlying theories, induding Super's (1990; Super, Savickas, & Super, 1996) life span, fife space theory and Peavy's (1998) SocioDynamic Counseling Model, and their applications to career counseling. They also provide a detailed case illustration, make practical recommendations, and note the advantages and limitations of the approach. The postmodern perspective views human knowing as a process of subjective meaning making in which knowledge is constructed by the individual. Constructivism, a relatively new theoretical counseling perspective, posits that individuals create meaning in their own iivesi Savickas ( 1993 ) called for the increased development and application of constructivist approaches in career counseling to keep pace with contemporary society's movement to a postmodern perspective. A clear indication of the profession's amrmarive response is reflected in the fact that today many career counseling textbooks include chapters devoted to constructivist approaches (e.g., Sharf, 2002; Zunker, 2006). In addition, there has been a recent increase in the development of constructivist career assessment techniques (Sharf, 2002) as well as constructivist applications to the career counseling process (Brott, 2005). Despite the increased use of constructivist career applications during the past 15 years, some authors have also noted potential limitations to constructivist approaches (e.g., McMahon & Watson, 2008). For example, these approaches have been criticized for placing too much emphasis on imagination and too little on real-life action (Reid, 2006). In addition, effective implementation of these approaches often requires personal qualities, including openness and imagination, on the part of both the counselor and the client (McMahon, 2006). Constrncring Idenrirks The need for openness and imagination on the part of clients is particularly apparent regarding those constructivists advocating that clients apply postmodera principles to the task of designing their identity. By intentionally selecting and participating in identity construction experiences, a person can potentially construct his or her identity. Peavy's (1998) SocioDynamic Counseling Model views the self as a project that is perpetually being constructed by the individual. From the SocioDynamic counseling perspective, a self that is complex and fluidly adapts to changing contextual demands represents an optimal level of functioning (Hansen, 2005). By contrast, Morgan (2000) described individuals who tell simple,. brief, and incomplete autobiographical stories as having thin narratives. We believe that thin narratives may in part be the product of a thin collection of accrued experiences and related social roles or selves. Because of a relative lack of world of work experiences, the graduate student who is nearing completion of her or his graduate studies is likely to possess a thin sense of her or his professional identity. Thin professional identities plausibly limit an individual's ability to adopt a forward-looking, selfconfident stance during the transition from graduate school to professional employment- What is required during this challenging transition period is a constructivist approach that will promote the development of a more complete sense of identity. In other words* the individual needs a developmental approach that will thicken her or his professional identity. For this reason, we describe and recommend the constructivist resume not only as a product, but also as a process that potentially facilitates the development and implementation of a student's professional identity Super's Exploration Stage and the Transitioning Process The most highly regarded developmental career theory, which also advocates the use of developmental counseling approaches,« Super's Super, 1990; Super, Savickas, & Super, 1996) life span, life space theory. …
