Book Description
In industrialized societies, individuals are facing major challenges that mobilize many of their psychological and social resources. The world of work is changing constantly. Adults have to adapt their technical skills and knowledge continuously. For teenagers and young adults, choosing a vocation and constructing their future career paths is becoming increasingly difficult. The migration of people and the globalization of the workforce raise questions about social inclusion and the future of affected individuals. These examples highlight of the importance of the field of Career Counseling and Guidance to support citizens individually and collectively in building their future. The challenges our societies face demonstrate how crucial the development of research in this field is. The European Doctoral Programme in Career Guidance and Counselling (ECADOC), funded by the European Commission from 2013-2016, has brought together PhD students working on burning issues in this field, using various theoretical references and methodologies. The four parts of this book present a selection of innovative research aiming to find answers to the named challenges. Part 1 deals with key psychological processes involved in career construction of young adults. Part 2 presents research concerning transitions over the course of life. Part 3 covers research related to interventions of career guidance and counseling. Part 4 outlines perspectives for the future and proposes a European Research Agenda for our field of research. Perspectives on Current Research in Career Guidance and Counseling – Building Careers in Changing and Diverse Societies is dedicated to students, researchers and practitioners in the fields of education, career guidance, psychology, human resource management to inform them about very recent work and promote the development of innovative interventions and programmes.

Book Description
This study was driven by concerns regarding an unstable economic and employment period as more adults are seeking career counseling to determine future occupational choices and decisions. Of importance, to the researcher, was exploring life roles, burdens, and resources and their impact an individual's ability to make career decisions. Duane Brown's Values-Based Career Counseling Approach (Brown, 1995)and Howard McClusky's Margin in Life Theory (McClusky, 1963) were the theoretical frameworks guiding the study's interventions. A quasi-experimental study was designed to focus on whether career indecision of adults could be reduced by participation in a series of values-based career webinars. Subjects were divided into three groups; one control and two treatments where the Career Decision Scale was administered as a pretest and posttest for the researcher to compare the mean uncertainty scores among the three groups. One treatment group received the values-based career webinar intervention and the second received an interest based career counseling intervention. The interventions consisted of three webinars spanning one hour each in length. Participants were also given the Margin in Life Scale simultaneously with the Career Decision Scale to understand current life burdens and resources. The study targeted alumni from The Pennsylvania State University. Sixty-seven participants persisted throughout the entire study which was voluntary. Participant's age and gender were obtained since previous literature describes both as having significant roles in the ability to make career decisions. The webinars acted as the independent variable while indecision scores obtained through the Career Decision Scale and marginal values scores obtained through the Margin in Life Scale were the dependent variables. Testing was completed using an ANCOVA, Tukey Pairwise and Pearson correlation. The main contributions that this study generated were: a) show statistical significance of career uncertainty decrease through use of the values-based career counseling intervention which is particularly useful to career counselors working with adults; b) recognize that an individual's age and gender can influence career decision making; c) understand the relationship between life burdens and resources and the ability to make a career decision. Insights were also gained in the areas of career education techniques as this study presented a unique way of facilitating career development through groups using online technology in the form of a webinar.

Uncertainty and the Employment Dynamics of Small and Large Businesses
Author: Vivek GhosalPublisher: International Monetary Fund
ISBN: 1498356176
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 49
Book Description
We examine the impact of uncertainty on employment dynamics. Alternative measures of uncertainty are constructed based on the survey of professional forecasters, and regressionbased forecasting models for GDP growth, inflation, S&P500 stock price index, and fuel prices. Our results indicate that greater uncertainty has a negative impact on growth of employment, and the effects are primarily felt by the relatively smaller businesses; the impact on large businesses are generally non-existent or weaker. Our results suggest that to truly understand the effects of uncertainty on employment dynamics, we need to focus on the relatively smaller and entrepreneurial businesses. We discuss implications for the framing of economic policy.
