Annual Review: Practice and Research in Career Development and Counseling—1995

Abstract

The author reviews and summarizes more than 200 articles related to career development issues that were published in 1995. The goals were to identify articles relevant to clinicians and to provide a comprehensive and coherent overview of the career development literature. The articles were reviewed and organized within seven areas: counselor‐client relations, business and industry, university career centers, career development theories, gender differences, work and family issues, and cross‐cultural issues. Implications for future research directions and for assisting clients with their career development challenges are discussed.

Managers dealing with work‐family‐conflict: an explorative analysis

“…Another important impulse was provided by the work of Rhona and Robert N. Rapoport (1969, 1976) who coined the terms “Dual Career Family” and “Dual Career Couple” (DCC) at that time; these have become increasingly significant lifestyles (Greenhaus, 1989; Sekaran, 1983, 1985, 1986). Individual ways of dealing with the work/family conflict were investigated for this group in particular (Hammer et al , 1997; Stoltz‐Loike, 1992; Wiersma, 1994). The allocation of disposable time, which is crucial especially for DCC, comes to the fore.…”

The Changing Nature of Careers: A Review and Research Agenda

“…Although both Super (1984) and Levinson (1986) have stated their theories are applicable to both men and women, one of the major research questions plaguing both theories has been whether these models are truly generalizable to women 1 (Cytrynbaum & Crites, 1989). Given the unique aspects of women's experiences including workplace discrimination (Morrison, White, & Van Velsor, 1987;Ragins, Townsend, & Mattis, 1998;Stoltz-Loike, 1996), pay and promotion inequities (Barnum, Liden, & Ditomaso, 1995;Dreher & Cox, 1996;Tharenou, 1997;Watkins & Subich, 1995), greater family demands (Gordon & Whelan, 1998;Seron & Ferris, 1995;Stohs, 1995;Witkowski & Leicht, 1995), and sexual harassment issues (Fitzgerald & Shullman, 1993), many have questioned whether women's careers can be adequately explained by stage models developed with male samples (Bardwick, 1980;Cytrynbaum & Crites, 1989;Gallos, 1989;Powell & Mainiero, 1992Tharenou, Latimer, & Conroy, 1994). With the increasing number of women in the workforce (Johnston & Packer, 1987;London & Greller, 1991), it is important to determine the applicability of these models, which are often used to develop human resource and career development programs (Schein, 1978).…”

“…Many of these factors should also be considered when studying the careers of men. Research on the careers of men indicates that as men age, they experience greater conflict over balancing work and family demands, and have decreased needs for mobility, competition, and power (see Stoltz-Loike, 1996, for a review). Thus, as detailed in the next two sections, adult development theories need revision to better explain the lives of both men and women.…”

A Content Analysis of Career Development Theory, Research, and Practice—2013

“…The number of articles and journals represented in the reviews has grown over time. Each one of those 25 reviews provided a brief summary of the content of articles by topic, as well as a commentary on the nature of the literature published that year (Arbona, 2000;Bikos, Dykhouse, Boutin, Gowen, & Rodney, 2013;Chope, 2008;Cook, 1991;Creager, 2011;Dagley & Salter, 2004;Erford & Crockett, 2012;Flores et al, 2003;Guindon & Richmond, 2005;Harrington & Harrigan, 2006;Hartung, 2010;Jepsen, 1992;Luzzo & MacGregor, 2001;Niles, 1997;Patton & McIlveen, 2009;Salomone, 1993;Savickas, 1989;Spokane & Hawks, 1990;Stoltz-Loike, 1996;Subich, 1994;Swanson & Parcover, 1998;Tien, 2007;Walsh & Srsic, 1995;Whiston & Brecheisen, 2002;Young & Chen, 1999). In reviewing past CDQ annual reviews, we identified some noteworthy trends.…”
