Abstract
Although young people espouse a range of career values, the extent to which traditional career values inter-mix with protean values is unclear. We interviewed a group of young university students in Australia (N = 24, MAge 19.4 years; 50% young men) and examined the full range of traditional and protean values held. Employing applied thematic analysis, we found that freedom/autonomy and fit to self were dominant in protean career themes, while they strongly expressed a desire for job security in a traditional career. The results inform theory development in the career development area and can assist university career counselors.
期刊介绍:
The International Journal for Educational and Vocational Guidance publishes articles in relation to work and leisure, career development, career counselling and guidance and career education, which have preferably either an international content (e.g. comparative studies, multi or cross-cultural perspectives, regional surveys, etc.) or contribute to topics of broad international interest (e.g. theoretical developments, ethical issues, etc.). Important national developments which are of wider interest can be included. All articles should present implications for practice.
