A cross‐cultural application of a career planning model
基于新加坡214名技术、专业及管理员工的样本，检验了Gould职业规划模型在跨文化情境下的适用性，发现模型对职业行为与态度的预测关系得到部分支持。
Abstract Data obtained from a sample of technical, professional and administrative/managerial employees ( N = 214) in Singapore were used to examine the cross‐cultural generalizability of a version of Gould's career planning model. The recursive model depicts the mechanisms through which career planning affects career behavior (career strategy) and attitudes (career satisfaction, self‐esteem at work and career commitment) and thereby reinforce the career planning function. Path analysis results of the four structural equations provided modest support for the hypothesized relations. In addition to the hypothesized relations, the results revealed some significant direct paths that were not hypothesized. Limitations of the study, implications of the findings and a direction for future studies are discussed.
