Career Guidance

Orientation: Coaching is sometimes used in organisations to assist and support people when they are promoted into senior leadership positions. These coaching interventions are not optimally designed.Research purpose: The objective of this research was to investigate how a transition coaching intervention should be designed to cater specifically for people promoted into senior leadership positions.Motivation for the study: Leaders face daunting challenges when promoted into a senior position. Coaching could offer powerful support, but very little research exists on how to design a transition coaching intervention specifically aimed at supporting recently promoted senior leaders.Research design, approach and method: A constructivist, grounded theory approach using purposeful, theoretical sampling was used to identify 16 participants (recently promoted senior leaders, coaches, Human Resource [HR] partners and a line manager) from various organisations with whom open-ended interviews we...

Publikacja recenzowana / Peer-reviewed publicationTransformations of education in changing Europe are multifaceted. One of the latter is the process of strengthening the cooperation among universities in this part of the world. This cooperation is carried out in many fields – from joint projects and researches – to joint analyses, discourses and publications. This monograph – a collection of reflections, thoughts and polemics deriving from theoretical and empirical researches, carried out as a part of a joint research project simultaneously undertaken at both these universities under the name “Problems and challenges of modern education” – constitutes one of the fruits of the cooperation between Andrzej Frycz Modrzewski Cracow University and the University of Ljubljana

Are mobile students expecting an international experience to have an impact on their career? This was one of the questions in a global survey, with over 150,000 respondents. The survey results showed that the transition from education to the world of work is of increasing importance for students. How to find a job upon graduation is apparently a big concern for current-day students, which dictates their international educational choices to a large extent. Moreover, are there differences between Europe and the rest of the world when it comes to student’s expectations of employability? This study found that opportunities for work upon graduation and earning money when studying matter more for non-European students.

La Commissione Europea ha posto alla base dei sistemi di orientamento
il concetto di Career Management Skills (CMS), un insieme
di competenze fondamentali che ogni cittadino dovrebbe
possedere per orientarsi in una società complessa e dinamica.
Questo concetto porta un cambiamento profondo nei paradigmi
tradizionali dell’orientamento, spostando il focus
dell’intervento dalla scelta scolastica e lavorativa al processo
di apprendimento di competenze per la gestione della propria
carriera formativa e professionale.

This study investigated the professional duties of a professional rugby league Academy Manager (AM) with the explicit aim of identifying bespoke development needs through the operation of the Talent Development Self Navigation Framework (TDSNF). This study adopts an original embodied pedagogy approach grounded in a critical realist view of the participant’s Talent Development domain. The paper presents a full description of the framework’s application as a case study example of the TDSNF in practice. Findings acknowledge how the facilitated TDSNF helped the AM reflect more fully on his ‘real world’ and ‘foundational wants and needs’ to co-create both an individual learning plan for himself and a TD development plan for his Academy team. Feedback on the framework’s content, structure, process and outputs was extremely positive. Significant implications in adopting this approach more widely for coach education and learning are then presented.

Nursing students face numerous stresses and challenges that pose a threat to their well-being. They require guidance to attain satisfactory adjustment in all aspects of daily life in this critical stage of their development. This study was conducted to determine the guidance needs of nursing students in selected schools in Iloilo City. The sample of this descriptive, comparative study consisted of 283 randomly selected students from four nursing schools in Iloilo City. The Guidance Needs Inventory for Nursing Students (GNINS) developed by the researchers was used to gather data. Frequency, mean, standard deviation, and rank were used to describe the data. Independent Samples t-Test and ANOVA set at 0.05 alpha were employed to find out significant difference between variables. The study revealed that nursing students need guidance to a moderate extent. They need more guidance on the aspects of career and academic. Further, results indicated no significant difference in the guidance needs of nursing students when grouped according to sex, gender, year level, residence, type of school, living arrangement, employment status of parents, monthly family income, number of siblings, birth order and type of family. Guidance remains to be an integral part of nursing education. Continued provision of guidance that is responsive and relevant to the needs of nursing student cohort is therefore necessary.

Career guidance advocacy model for orphans and abandoned children was developed in this qualitative study. Children's occupational goal, shapers of career aspirations, and the process on how the career aspirations are developed were described from the perspective of 48 children of SOS Children's Village-Lipa. The assumptions upon which the Career Guidance Advocacy Model (CGAM) are built are that (1) the orphans and abandoned children's career aspirations are confined on the few accessible occupations; (2) loving family environmental climate, strong occupational self-concept, and presence of and sustained positive experience with role models shaped the career aspirations (occupational goals) of orphans and abandoned children.; and (3) the process of developing career aspiration among orphans and abandoned children involves sequential steps: working-out the destabilized self-concept, interpreting and implementing the occupational self-concept, and demonstrating commitment on a relatively stable occupational goal. Career Guidance Advocacy Model (CGAM) offers framework of career helping for orphans and abandoned children through advocating affirmative life space with constructive authorities; career opportunity and familiarity; and sustained positive experiences. In the realization of the advocacies it is expected that the children gain the ability of self-development and behavioral autonomy to set realistic career aspirations.

Student study of science at school has been linked to the need to provide a scientifically capable workforce and a scientifically literate society. Educators, scientists and policymakers are concerned that too few students are choosing science for study in their final years of school. How and why students choose and reject certain subjects, including science, at this time is unclear. A Best-Worst Scaling (BWS) survey was completed by 333 Year 10 (age 14–17) students to investigate the relative importance of 21 factors thought to impact students' subject selection decisions. Students ranked enjoyment, interest and ability in a subject, and its perceived need in their future study or career plans as the most important factors in both choosing and rejecting subjects. They considered advice from teachers, parents or peers as relatively less important. These findings indicate that enhancing students' enjoyment, interest, and perceptions of their ability in science, as well as increasing student perceptions of its value in a future career, may result in more students studying science at school.

The null hypothesis is generally acceptable as stated: There is no significant correlation between the prevailing opinion among music industry insiders on digital music, resources for one’s career growth in the music industry, and competencies in the music business and the respondents profile when they are grouped according to gender, years in the industry, and entry in the music business.
When the hypothesis was tested using Pearson Product-Moment Correlation Coefficient, there are cases where significant relationships were stablished in three occasions namely:
1. There is a significant relationship between Respondents’ Years in the Industry and Record Companies should reinvest on Related Industries r (48) = .341*, p = .015.
This indicate that the length of the respondents’ engagement in a record company, the more he/she is inclined to reinvest the company’s earnings in related industries in the music business. 
2. There is a significant negative relationship between Respondents’ Years in the Industry and Self-reliance as important in music business r (48) = -.306*, p= .031.
In view of the disruptions caused by the digitalization of recorded music, finding creative ways of earning from sound recordings is a matter of self-reliance or personal judgment. A person’s logical calculations as a manager who renders a record company to survive by any measure is already a winner in the current recorded music market.
3. There is a significant negative relationship between Respondents’ Entry into the Industry and Attention to details as important in music business r (48) = -.348*, p =.013.
World class standards in music products like sound recordings entails a number of factors so much so that a mistake in one item might render a whole recording unpleasant to the general audience. This co-relation on entry into the music industry and attention to details only affirms that music business processes are serious and based on value judgment.
With these rare occurrences, the hypothesis: “There is no significant correlation between the prevailing opinion among music industry insiders on digital music, resources for one’s career growth in the music industry, and competencies in the music business and the respondents profile when they are grouped according to gender, years in the industry, and entry in the music business,” by this study becomes generally accepted, with specific exemptions as mentioned. 
With the findings enumerated above, the desire of professionalizing the music industry in the Philippines, which calls for the enhancement of the industry skills through a new college course known as Music Business Management, is a program that holds on to this study for its legitimacy.

La ricerca del lavoro, che sia intrapresa da un giovane che ha appena concluso il suo percorso scolastico, o da una persona più matura che vuole trovarlo o cambiarlo, o ancora da un individuo alla fine della sua carriera, è in ogni caso molto spesso percepita come un disagio. Soprattutto nel contesto attuale, trovare lavoro appare come una sfida titanica, un’impresa faticosa e talvolta senza speranza.
In questo lavoro sono esposte alcune delle tecniche di orientamento al lavoro che possono essere applicate in un contesto di counseling. Instaurando una relazione d’aiuto, con un approccio centrato sul cliente e sul contatto empatico con esso, è infatti possibile per il counselor accompagnare la persona in un percorso di consapevolizzazione dei propri bisogni e desideri autentici al fine di individuare l’obiettivo professionale più in linea con questi.
Infine è stata illustrata un’esperienza concreta di orientamento al lavoro tramite le interviste svolte con le persone coinvolte nel percorso di orientamento stesso.

The task of studying the impact of social class on physical and mental health involves, among other things, the use of a conceptual toolbox that defines what social class is, establishes how to measure it, and sets criteria that help distinguish it from closely related concepts. One field that has recently witnessed a wealth of theoretical and conceptual research on social class is psychology, but geographers' and sociologists' attitude of diffidence toward this " positivistic " discipline has prevented them from taking advantage of this body of scholarship. This paper aims to highlight some of the most important developments in the psychological study of social class and social mobility that speak to the long-standing concerns of health geographers and sociologists with how social position, perceptions, social comparisons, and class-based identities impact health and well-being.

This qualitative study investigated the lived experiences of highly sensitive persons (HSPs) to better understand the way they experience careers.  Sensory processing sensitivity (SPS) is the underlying personality trait and is present in approximately 20 percent of the population, equally distributed across gender and racial lines.  SPS is considered a non-normative personality trait in some Western societies and subcultures.  Thus, many HSPs experience difficulty finding an appropriate match between innate temperament and career.   
This qualitative research perspective employed semi-structured interviews with 35 participants recruited through social media web sites and snowball sampling.  Participants in the study were primarily from the U.S., but also from five foreign countries.  Participants were chosen based on answers to a recruitment questionnaire and Elaine Aron’s HSP Self-Test.  Major findings reveal a complex, interwoven dynamic interplay between nine major themes: (1) empathy, (2) childhood’s influence, (3) self-care, (4) a rich inner life, (5) creativity, (6) high sensation-seeking, (7) the sociological perspective, (8) the experience of work, and (9) the integral being.  The significance of this study is that it is the first of its kind to investigate this topic in a systematic, scientific manner.
