Enhancing Social Justice by Promoting Prosocial Values in Career Development Interventions
Dik, Bryan J.; Duffy, Ryan D.; Steger, Michael F.
Counseling and Values, v57 n1 p31-37 Apr 2012
In career counseling, social justice is typically integrated by helping oppressed groups navigate their way around obstacles of injustice while also working to dislodge the oppressive conditions from society. The authors affirm both of these courses of action while also advocating a third strategy: inviting clients to serve as agents of change by introducing and incorporating prosocial values into career development interventions. This article makes the case that this strategy may enhance client well-being while simultaneously promoting harmony among organizations and society. Support for this strategy comes from theory, research, and the ethical approaches for working with values in counseling.
