Social Class and Work-Related Decisions: Measurement, Theory, and Social Mobility
Fouad, Nadya A.; Fitzpatrick, Mary E.
Journal of Career Assessment, v17 n3 p266-270 2009
In this reaction to Diemer and Ali's article, "Integrating Social Class Into Vocational Psychology: Theory and Practice Implications," the authors point out concerns with binary schema of social class, highlight the contribution of social class to the social cognitive career theory, argue for a more nuanced look at ways that work provides social mobility in the United States, and note the need to integrate social class with other contextual variables.
