Career success and personal failure experiences and Type A behaviour
研究了A型行为与职业中失望、疏离和个人失败感的关系，发现A型行为与这些负面职业体验显著相关，对职业研究和实践有启示。
Abstract This study examines the relationship of Type A behaviour to career experiences associated with feelings of personal failure (Korman and Korman, 1980). Seventy‐five managers completed the Jenkins Activity Survey, a widely used paper‐and‐pencil index of Type A behaviour, and measures of various career experiences. The data provided concurrent validation of the Korman's model and also showed Type A behaviour to be significantly related to career outcomes reflecting disappointment, alienation and personal failure. A case is made for the inclusion of Type A in career research. Implications for careerists and their organizations are offered.
