Preferred term

history of career studies  

Definition(s)

  • This entry outlines the main schools within the broad area of career theory, which here have been defined as (a) a sociological perspective focusing on the structural influences over one's working life and the interplay between individuals and institutions, (b) an “individual differences” or vocational perspective concentrating on fitting round pegs into round career holes, and (c) a developmental or life cycle perspective examining the way people develop and change over the course of their lives. This is not to say that additional perspectives are not relevant to theorizing about careers, only that the main areas of theoretical interest within the careers area have been dominated by these perspectives.
