MATCHING INDIVIDUALS TO OCCUPATIONS USING ABILITIES AND THE O*NET: ISSUES AND AN APPLICATION IN CAREER GUIDANCE
讨论了使用O*NET职业数据库进行人职匹配时遇到的概念、方法和实践问题，并以一个基于能力的匹配应用为例说明如何解决这些问题，对职业指导从业者和研究者有参考价值。
The Occupational Information Network (O*NET) is a modern computerized occupational database with the potential to be an important resource for numerous work‐related applications. However, developing any O*NET‐based application requires working through conceptual, methodological, and practical issues. This article discusses a set of major issues in the context of using the O*NET for person‐occupation matching purposes, providing examples of how these issues were addressed in a systematic ability‐based matching application developed for career guidance. Specifically, we (a) describe the O*NET and its potential for career guidance, (b) explain person‐occupation fit and its positive consequences for individuals and organizations, (c) compare person‐occupation fit with person‐job fit, (d) discuss matching individuals to occupations empirically using abilities, (e) highlight issues faced in using the O*NJST in this process and give examples of how these issues were addressed in our matching application, and (f) evaluate the functioning of this example matching method.
