Understanding Career Development Through Social Cognitive Career Theory (SCCT)

SCCT stresses self-referent thinking in motivation and behavior, predicting interests, choices, and performance. Explore how Holland types develop, learning experiences influence interests, factors affect role salience in Super's theory, and how abilities are acquired in Dawis' and Loftquist's Theory of Work Adjustment. Central concepts include self-efficacy, outcome expectations, and goals. Gain insights into the development of basic career interests over time, perceived abilities, sources of self-efficacy, and outcome expectations. Discover intentions/goals for activity involvement, activity selection/practice, and performance attainments. Understand the values and factors affecting career-related choice behavior. Intervention implications include expanding interests, revisiting foreclosed options, overcoming barriers to choice/success, highlighting supports, and developing/modifying self-efficacy and outcome expectations.
