“…As a new paradigm of career counseling, Life Design is essentially different from the classic career guidance models that are mostly oriented toward employability policies because it not only provides professional information, matches people with the expectations of employers, and trains them in job search, but it also aims to promote reflections and development of a new critical conscience of the self and the world [9].…”

“…In the scientific literature regarding career guidance, the decent work construct has come into focus due to the work of J. Guichard (and the researchers of the UNESCO Chair on Lifelong Guidance and Counseling at the University of Wrocław) [7] in the context of the Life Design paradigm, to the work of D.L. Blustein and the Psychology of Working Theory (PWT; [8]), and, more recently, to the work of R. Young et al [6] with the Contextual Action Theory [9]. Based on these theoretical frameworks, specific selfreports or qualitative procedures have been developed to assess decent work conditions, as perceived by workers [10].…”

Although different assessment instruments have been developed to assess decent work, there is a need for a new instrument that takes into consideration the importance of decent work in achieving sustainable development. This article reports the development and psychometric requisites of the Decent Work for Inclusive and Sustainable Future Construction Scale, that is, a parsimonious measure regarding the perception of decent work for an inclusive and sustainable career construction. Overall, the research involved 1626 Italian adults, 740 men (45.5%) and 886 women (54.5%), aged between 16 and 76 years (M = 26.17; SD = 9.42), that were randomly involved in 1 of the 5 studies. Study 1 developed the scale and found the unidimensional structure of the scale via exploratory factor analysis (EFA). In Study 2, we confirmed the unidimensional structure of the six items based on confirmatory factor analysis (CFA). Study 3 examined the concurrent validity of the scale, finding positive correlations with meaningful work and life satisfaction. With Study 4, we provided measurement invariance across gender. Finally, Study 5 tested a model in which the tendency toward a social and equitable socio-economic view in career activities predicted decent work through career curiosity. Results provided strong psychometric support for Decent Work for Inclusive and Sustainable Future Construction Scale as a valid unidimensional instrument that, compared to the already existing scales, proposes the evaluation of decent work from a broad perspective that also looks at inclusion and sustainability.

“…This research is a response to Blustein and Flores’ (2023), Guichard's (2022) and Savickas’ (2021) and others call for action, recognising the need to develop new models and methods to help people cope with today's less predictable, less stable and less orderly world of work (Savickas, 2019a). Scholars such as Bimrose et al (2019), Dalene (2023), Drabik-Podgórna and Podgórny (2022), Maree (2022a, 2022b), Podgorna (2022), Sensoy-Briddick and Briddick (2022) and Savickas (2002) emphasise the ongoing need for innovation in career counselling theory and practice among theorists, practitioners and policymakers. (Currently, career counselling is a broad term for a counselling service that encompasses several career counselling-related interventions, including vocational guidance, career education and guidance, career coaching and the provision of career-related information.…”

Exploring innovative career counselling strategies for universal relevance and sustainability in the Anthropocene era

This article reflects on several factors that influence the art and science of career counselling in different contexts. An adapted systematic literature review was implemented to examine developments in the career counselling field and to explore innovative career counselling strategies that have universal relevance and sustainability in the Anthropocene era. The continued relevance and functionality of career counselling in South Africa (as an example of a Global South, developing country reflective of the situation globally) is examined. I reflect on a possible theoretical and conceptual framework for career counselling in the ‘career Counsellocene’ era and I argue for an approach that contextualises career counselling in different contexts in the future workplace and meets the career-counselling needs of people in the Anthropocene era. A career-counselling approach is needed that emphasises the importance of eco-awareness in reversing the impact of human abuse on the environment.
