“…For instance many of the present career models and theories have used White, undergraduate college students when being developed and thus have limited applicability and relevance to culturally diverse populations (Fitzgerald & Betz, 1994;Triandis, 1994). In addition, not only are these original career theories and models limited within their scope of application, but they are also based upon limited and faulty assumptions, they confuse and/or inappropriately define terms such as race, ethnicity and minority, and they do not adequately address salient issues for culturally diverse individuals such as those related to socio-political, socio-economic, social psychological, and socio-cultural factors (Leong, 1985(Leong, , 1995Leong & Serafica, 1995). This clearly suggests that there is an absence of a current comprehensive culturally appropriate and effective career model/theory for culturally diverse populations and therefore, this is a cry out to scholars to develop cross-cultural models/theories that are more appropriate, sensitive, relevant and effective to individuals from diverse groups.…”
