Effects of Orientations to Happiness on Vocational Identity Achievement
Hirschi, Andreas
Career Development Quarterly, v59 n4 p367-378 Jun 2011
There is an increased interest in vocational psychology and career counseling regarding the link between career development and well-being, yet, little is known about how different ways to achieve well-being or happiness relate to career development. This study explored the relationship between 3 orientations to happiness (meaning, pleasure, and engagement) and vocational identity achievement among 2 groups of Swiss adolescents (n = 268, 8th grade; n = 208, 11th grade). The results indicated that more orientation to meaning and engagement but not to pleasure positively related to vocational identity achievement. (Contains 2 tables.)
