The Maturation of Career Theory
回顾了职业理论在过去一个世纪中的四种主要类型，分析其贡献与局限，指出理论从静态向动态演化的关键趋势，并建议未来研究方向。
Career theory, like the phenomena it describes, has grown and developed over the past century. During that time, four main types of theory have emerged. This paper examines the contributions and limitations of each type, starting with the oldest, and identifies the most fundamental trends in the evolution of this theory. The key trend identified is a continuous shift from a relatively static to a relatively dynamic theory. The paper offers a synthesis of this literature, and concludes by suggesting what types of research and theoretical development are now needed if career theory is to continue to mature.
