“…Some researchers have been interested in the effects of personal growth initiative on various transitions in individual life such as career‐changing, vocational exploration, and establishing identities, which is strongly related to readiness of independent living for children in out‐of‐home care. Lee and Lee (2015) reported that South Korean college students with a high personal growth initiative tended to gather much information on jobs or occupations and proactively explore their career by displaying clear career goals. Also, in Robitschek and Cook (1999), college students with a high personal growth initiative are likely to explore their environment and have a clearer vocational identity.…”

This study explored the effects of the factors on independent living readiness among youth under out‐of‐home care. Specifically, this study focused on the effects of caregivers' autonomy support and psychological capital on independent living readiness through personal growth initiative. A total of 215 youth who were expected to be discharged from caring institution within three years were gathered for the survey, and the final sample was 194 after excluding incomplete responses. Structural equation modeling with Mplus (version 7) was used to test research model and hypotheses in the study. Results showed that the research model was appropriated with several fit indices satisfied and that all the hypotheses were supported. Also, direct and indirect effects of independent variables were fully supported. However, the indirect effect of psychological capital was marginally significant. The results implicate that both caregiver's autonomy support and psychological capital are important for increasing personal growth initiative and that personal growth initiative served as a motivation to facilitating the readiness for independent living among children under institutional care.

“…Accordingly, career calling has been associated positively with career goal self-efficacy and career identity (Allan & Duffy, 2014; Dobrow & Tosti-Kharas, 2011; Praskova, Creed, & Hood, 2015b), work effort and use of career strategies (Praskova, Creed, & Hood, 2015c), and academic and life satisfaction in young adults (Duffy, Allan, & Bott, 2012; Duffy, Allan, & Dik, 2011) in Western countries. In Korea, it has been associated positively with career and life satisfaction (Lee, 2014; Shim & Yoo, 2012; J. Shin, Lee, & Yang, 2015; Yang & Lee, 2012), higher organizational commitment (Yoon, Lee, Sohn, & Ha, 2013), and lower intention to leave the organization in working adults (Lee, 2011).…”

This study set to provide an age- and culturally-appropriate measure of career calling for Korean young adults. We conducted a literature review and identified a suitable, 15-item Career Calling Scale for Emerging Adults. We translated all items into Korean, back-translated into English, and verified for accuracy. An exploratory factor analysis revealed three factors reflecting those of the original scale ( other-oriented meaning, active engagement, and personal meaning; Stage 1; N = 152), and a confirmatory factor analysis supported that these loaded on a higher order factor of career calling (Stage 2; N = 260). The scale showed good internal consistency, and scale validity was supported by finding positive correlations with well-being and a second measure of career calling and a negative correlation with career indecision. The findings support our argument that career calling, viewed as a salient and meaningful career goal, is a relevant concept for Korean young adults.
