The meaning of career success across people- vs. technology-oriented occupations: Empirical evidence from German-speaking Europe

Aktivität: Vortrag › Wissenschaftlicher Vortrag (Science-to-Science)

Beschreibung

What a ‘successful career’ means to people in different occupations is hardly understood. Based on person-environment fit and vocational choice theories, we test hypotheses on how 240 teachers, 185 health-care/social workers and 125 IT professionals from Germany, Austria and Switzerland differ in regard to how they conceptualize career success. We find that differences on some of the seven 5C dimensions are in line with what the person-environment fit and vocational choice literature implies, but that there are remarkable similarities on some other dimensions. We conclude that in addition to some theoretically supported occupational idiosyncracies, career success conceptualizations might be more universal in some other aspects.
