“…O papel dos pais na construção da carreira dos fi lhos processa-se ao nível da construção de uma identidade, da exploração vocacional, da formulação de preferências vocacionais, e da tomada de decisão (Dietrich & Kracke, 2009;Whiston & Keller, 2004) e, da implementação de uma decisão por parte dos adolescentes (Fouad et al, 2008), designadamente através do suporte (Carvalho, 2007;O'Brien, 1996) e da afetuosidade (Noack, Kracke, Gniewosz, & Dietrich, 2010).…”

ResumoEste trabalho analisa os estilos educativos parentais percebidos pelos jovens e os seus níveis de exploração vocacional, atendendo aos referenciais conceptuais da teoria da construção da carreira e à investigação prévia sobre a relação entre a infl uência parental e o desenvolvimento vocacional. Participam 296 estudantes portugueses, 109 (36,82%) do sexo feminino e 187 (63,18%) do sexo masculino, com uma idade média de 17,03 anos (DP = 1,45; Min = 14; Max = 23), que preencheram a Escala de Exploração Vocacional e o Questionário de Estilos Educativos Parentais. Verifi caram--se diferenças na percepção do estilo educativo parental e na exploração vocacional em função de variáveis sociodemográfi cas, e uma associação positiva signifi cativa entre a exigência e as crenças e os comportamentos de exploração vocacional. Discutem-se implicações acerca da participação parental na construção de carreira. Palavras-chave: Construção da carreira, exploração vocacional, estilos educativos parentais, jovens. AbstractThis work analyzes the parental educational styles perceived by youth and their level of vocational exploration, considering the career construction theory and previous research on the relationship between parental infl uence processes and vocational development. Participants were 296 adolescents, 109 (36.82%) girls and 187 (63.18%) boys, with a mean age of 17.03 years (SD = 1.45; Min. = 14; Max. = 23) who fulfi lled the Career Exploration Survey and the Parental Educational Styles Questionnaire. Results show differences in the perceived parental educational styles and career exploration according to socio demographic variables, and a signifi cant positive association between requirement and career exploration beliefs and behaviors. Implications about the parental involvement in career construction are discussed. Keywords: Career construction, career exploration, parental educational styles, youth.* Endereço para correspondência: Quinta do Bom Nome, Lisboa, Portugal 1500-210. E-mail: lilianafaria@delphis. com.pt O presente estudo visa aprofundar o conhecimento das perceções dos jovens acerca dos estilos parentais dos seus pais, nas suas construções de carreira, através da avaliação do estilo educativo parental percecionado pelos fi lhos, bem como, dos seus níveis de exploração vocacional. Assim, analisa-se a teoria da construção da carreira de Savickas (2002Savickas ( , 2005, que se centra na interpretação e no processo interpessoal a partir do qual os indivíduos dão signifi cado e sentido ao seu comportamento vocacional. E, atende--se à investigação sobre a relação entre os processos de infl uência parental e o desenvolvimento vocacional (e.g., Schulenberg, Vondracek, & Crouter, 1984;Whiston & Keller, 2004). Pretende-se com este trabalho contribuir para a compreensão da relação entre infl uência dos estilos educativos parentais e o comportamento exploratório vocacional, campo da orientação profi ssional cujo investimento tem sido escasso e limitado.

“…Therefore, the argument being made here is that people might not be actively aware of the social forces that influence their decision to work; however, there is a constant subtext of social creation underlying the notions of work and its value, which eventually influences the behaviour of people. The life stages prescribed by the Hindu texts and the value of duty orientation prescribed by collectivistic cultures (Fouad et al, 2008) could be the possible influences on the positive value placed on work for an Indian employee. This view of work as being a means to enact one's social roles and responsibilities also emerged as a significant theme in the narratives.…”

“…In the Indian tradition, for example, as in most other societies across the globe, manual work was considered to be inferior to mental work, and was associated with the people lower in the caste hierarchy (Sinha, 1990;Gisbert, 1972). It was also seen that people in more collectivistic cultures base their career choices on criteria such as prestige and status (Fouad et al, 2008) which came from engaging in intellectual work. Such enduring cultural valuation of intellectual work and devaluation of manual work was seen to be relayed in the form of metaphors across generations through the family and other social entities like educational institutions, social communities, etc.…”

Meaning of work as explored in this study refers to the function that organizational paid employment serves for people. Is work a means of fulfilling social and economic expectations? Is it a means through which an individual can learn and grow personally? Is it a means of earning a living? Or is it an opportunity for people to express and apply their talents and expertise? In the real world, work could mean all of these together. However, when participants were asked about the meaning of work, their responses indicated the predominance of one meaning at any given time. The intent of this research was to explore how the predominant meaning of work got constructed before people started working and how that affected their work choices. The research was based on the assumption that meaning of work is a dynamic concept, i.e. the same individual can hold different meanings of work at two different points in time. This assumption in effect also suggests that meaning is not determined by fixed personality characteristics of an individual, but gets constructed through the interaction of the social structures and the personal preferences of people. In order to understand how the meaning of work evolves even before one starts working, a process theory of the construction of meaning of work was developed inductively using the work narratives of 44 public sector bank employees in India. It was found that work means different things to different people, but for ease of comprehension and for the purpose of analysis, the meaning of work has been categorized under two broad headings — social meaning of work and personal meaning of work. When the main function of work is to fulfill social and economic expectations, the person can be said to hold a social meaning of work. If work is predominantly a means to satisfy personal aspirations and interests, then it holds a personal meaning. The narratives suggest that when individuals have multiple career or job alternatives to choose from and also possess a clear knowledge of their interests, then their work choices are driven by personal inclinations and work takes on a personal meaning. On the other hand, when the number of job alternatives is limited and an individual does not have insight into one's own interests then social expectations and metaphors related to work influence the meaning of work and work choices. The theoretical and managerial implications of the findings and limitations are also discussed.

RESUMENLa literatura vocacional ha puesto de manifiesto el papel de los contextos relacionales y educativos en la carrera. El papel de la familia, escuela y compañeros se ha incorporado en la investigación y en la práctica de la Psicología Vocacional. El profesorado, aunque con menos énfasis, ha sido presentado también como un determinante en la carrera del alumnado Sin embargo, la investigación sistemática sobre este tópico es escasa. Los autores presentan un estudio cualitativo sobre el papel del profesorado en la toma de decisiones académico-profesionales de estudiantes de la escuela secundaria portugueses. Fueron investigadas las perspectivas de estudiantes, familias, profesorado y profesionales de orientación, una muestra compuesta por 119 participantes. Se utilizó una metodología de investigación cualitativa basada en los procedimientos de la teoría fundamentada de datos. Las respuestas de los participantes en el estudio indican el reconocimiento del papel de los profesorado en la toma de decisiones de los estudiantes a través de cuatro vías principales: la materia que enseñan, la colaboración en 1 Correspondencia: Marisa Carvalho.
