Lecturette

Career Development is a lifelong process that includes physical, cognitive,


and emotional development (Seligman, 1980). There are lots of factors that
influence lifelong career development process. These are generally classified as
psychological and social factors that are developed by affecting each other
mutually. The most important feature that affects vocational development are the
skills that an individual has. However, development of these skills can only be
possible with environment support. If one were permitted only a single variable
predict an individual’s occupational status, it surely would be the socio-economic
status of that individual’s family of orientation. (revisit Module 1.1) As a
measurement construct, socioeconomic status usually incorporates one or more of
the following: parents’ educational attainment and occupational status, and family
income (discussed in Module 2 lecturette). All of these factors, as well as such
corresponding variables as values, opportunities, and parental encouragement,
serve to enhance or limit an individual’s potential occupational status. (Schoenberg
et al. 1984).

Each person has different difficulties and boundaries that may hinder
him/her from pursuing a career goal. The Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities,
and Treats (SWOT) activity enables the learners to realize and prioritize their own
interests that they owe to value in planning for life because this will lead them to
whatever career goal they want to achieve.

The SWOT framework is credited to Albert Humphrey, who tested the


approach in the 1960s and 1970s at the Stanford Research Institute (SRI). SWOT
analysis is a process that identifies the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and
threats of the students’ chosen career field. As its name states, a SWOT analysis
examines four elements:
1. Strengths – internal attributes and resources that support successful outcome
of the chosen track and strand.
2. Weaknesses – internal attributes and resources that work against a successful
outcome of the chosen track and strand.
3. Opportunities – external factors of the career goal that can be capitalized on or
used to its advantage.
4. Threats – external factors that could jeopardize the career goal.

SWOT is usually used in the industrial/business industry which is very


effective in their business analysis that would lead a business success. In this case,
SWOT is used to analyze career development pathing to help the learner lead their
one’s career goal/journey. Having career goals helps provide direction and focuses
your attention on attainable outcomes of the educational process.

Knowing where you are going with your academic program in terms of clear
goals helps stimulate and maintain motivation. Motivation has been shown to be a
critical component of academic success. Therefore, clarifying your career goals can
result in immediate as well as long-term gain (Groccia, 1992).

Individuals vary in their progress in terms of clarifying goals because of many


reasons. Some advance rapidly through each phase, while others progress more
slowly. Individuals may repeat all or parts of the career development process at
various points throughout their lives as values, interests, abilities, and life
circumstances change.

The concept of self-efficacy is the focal point of Albert Bandura’s social


cognitive theory (1997). By means of the self-system, individuals exercise control over
their thoughts, feelings, and actions. Among the beliefs with which an individual
evaluates the control over his/her actions and environment, self-efficacy beliefs are
the most influential predictor of human behavior as this relates to the career
exposure where the individual is influenced.

According to Bandura (1997), the level and strength of self-efficacy will


determine whether coping behavior will be initiated; how much effort will result,
and how long the effort will be sustained in the face of obstacles.

Self-efficacy means the belief in one’s capabilities to organize and execute


the courses of action required to produce given attainments. This is constructed on
the basis of the following:

3
 Personal Performance―Accomplishments, previous successes or failures
(most influential)
 Vicarious Experience ―Watching others, modeling, mentoring
 Verbal Persuasion―Verbal encouragement or discouragement
 Physiological and Emotional Factors―Perceptions of stress reactions in the
body

It is important to understand the distinction between Self-Esteem and Self-Efficacy


in career planning. According to Bandura (1992):
 Self-esteem relates to a person’s sense of self-worth.
 Self-efficacy relates to a person’s perception of his/her ability to reach a
goal.

Self-Efficacy Affects Human Function in Relation to Career Planning


Choices regarding Behavior

The individuals will be more inclined to take on a task if they believe they
can succeed. They generally avoid tasks where their self-efficacy is low, but engage
when it is high. Self-efficacy that is significantly higher than ability can lead to
psychological damage. Significantly low self-efficacy leads to an inability to grow
and expand skills. Optimum levels of self-efficacy are a little above ability, which
encourages people to tackle challenging tasks and gain valuable experience.
