“…There is first empirical evidence that orientations to happiness are pertinent at work and in the career context showing relations to subjective and objective career success (Proyer, Annen, Eggimann, Schneider, & Ruch, 2012). Further, the three orientations to happiness are related to vocational identity achievement (Hirschi, 2011). Vocational identity achievement together with career adapt-ability are defined as the major meta-competencies in career construction theory (Savickas, 2011;Stauffer, Maggiori, Froidevaux, & Rossier, in press) and are empirically related to each other .…”

Career adapt-ability has recently gained momentum as a psychosocial construct that not only has much to offer the field of career development, but also contributes to positive coping, adjustment and self-regulation through the four dimensions of concern, control, curiosity and confidence. The positive psychology movement, with concepts such as the orientations to happiness, explores the factors that contribute to human flourishing and optimum functioning. This research has two main contributions; 1) to validate a German version of the Career Adapt-Abilities Scale (CAAS), and 2) to extend the contribution of adapt-abilities to the field of work stress and explore its mediating capacity in the relation between orientations to happiness and work stress. We used a representative sample of the Germanspeaking Swiss working population including 1204 participants (49.8% women), aged between 26 and 56 (Mage = 42.04). Results indicated that the German version of the CAAS is valid, with overall high levels of model fit suggesting that the conceptual structure of career adapt-ability replicates well in this cultural context. Adapt-abilities showed a negative relationship to work stress, and a positive one with orientations to happiness. The engagement and pleasure scales of orientations to happiness also correlated negatively with work stress. Moreover, career adapt-ability mediates the relationship between orientations to happiness and work stress. In depth analysis of the mediating effect revealed that control is the only significant mediator. Thus control may be acting as a mechanism through which individuals attain their desired life at work subsequently contributing to reduced stress levels.

“…Untuk dapat melakukan perencanaan karir yang baik, maka siswa diharapkan mampu untuk melakukan self-discovery (Waddell & Bauer, 2012) untuk mengenali aspirasi diri dan kemampuan dirinya (Antoniu, 2010;Atkinson, Jr., & Murrell, 1988;Beijaard, Brok, & Mittendorff, 2010;Hirschi, 2010;Levinson & Palmer, 2005), mengekplorasi pilihan karir yang tersedia (Benitez, Lattimore, & Wehmeyer, 2005;Taylor, 1997;Witko, Bernes, Magnusson, & Bardick, 2005); serta menjatuhkan pilihan terhadap karir atau pekerjaan dianggap memberikan kepuasan, kebahagiaan, dan kenyamanan yang setinggi mungkin (Hirschi, 2011;Huebner & Royal, 2014).…”

This research aims to (1) perform inventory career planning of students, and (2) measuring students career planning based on gender. Data analysis used Rasch model for 45 students with actual power measurement 0.9272652. The research findings show (1) inventory career planning has been fit with the theoretic model, and (2) female student have a tendency to a higher career planning rather than male student. In the future, to measurement of student's career planning by using this inventory can only produce a high measurement information for students who have a mediocre ability. Further, the researcher need to consider to eliminate item No. 12 in this inventory due to the biased towards the male gender. PendahuluanPeriode Sekolah Menengah Atas (SMK/SMA) merupakan periode yang sangat penting untuk menyiapkan diri siswa guna melanjutkan pendidikan ke perguruan tinggi atau bekerja dan menghindari pengangguran (Kim, 2011;Levinson & Palmer, 2005). Akan tetapi, kemajuan dalam pendidikan dan keterampilan tidak cukup untuk mengurangi pengangguran jika pilihan pendidikan siswa di sekolah tidak sejalan dengan kebutuhan pasar kerja. Hasil studi International Labour Organization (ILO) PBB untuk Indonesia dan Timor Leste mengungkapkan bahwa lebih dari seperempat angkatan muda Indonesia kini menganggur dan masih banyak lagi yang mengerjakan pekerjaan yang tidak sesuai dengan keterampilannya (underemployed) serta tidak menggunakan keterampilannya seoptimal mungkin (International Labour Organization, 2011). Meskipun disadari, bahwa masalah pengangguran merupakan tanggung jawab bersama semua komponen masyarakat dan Pemerintah, namun sebagian besar sekolah di seluruh dunia mengakui bahwa membimbing siswa untuk belajar dan memilih karir yang tepat adalah tanggung jawab besar yang juga diemban oleh sekolah (Beijaard, Brok, & Mittendorff, 2010). Di Indonesia sendiri, bidang pelayanan bimbingan dan konseling karir telah menjadi salah satu arah pelayanan konseling yang diutamakan bersama-sama dengan bidang pelayanan konseling lainnya, yaitu bidang kehidupan pribadi-sosial, pendidikan dan keterampilan, keberagamaan, keluarga, dan kebangsaan (Prayitno et al., 2017).Upaya untuk meminimalkan tingkat pengangguran yang dialami oleh angkatan muda Indonesia salah satunya dapat ditempuh melalui pendidikan vokasional. Di Indonesia, sistem pendidikan vokasional salah satunya ditempuh melalui pendidikan di Sekolah Menengah Kejuruan (SMK). Dengansemboyan "SMK bisa! Siap kerja, cerdas,dan kompetitif" (Listiara & Alsa, 2011), siswa SMK adalah kelompok pelajar yang dipersiapkan untuk menimba keterampilan, pengetahuan dan kemampuan yang dapat memberikan kontribusi secara nyata terhadap tempat kerja (National Collaborative on Worksforce and Disability, 2008). Akan tetapi, perencanaan dan arah pilihan karir atau pekerjaan bagi sebagian besar siswa adalah masih dianggap hal yang rumit dan bahkan menghadirkan tekanan tersendiri dalam diri siswa (Z. Zhang & Tian, 2016). Hal ini diakibatkan karena di sekolah, siswa di tuntut untuk memfokuskan semua U...

“…Besides, domains such as having good students' management system, support staff empowerment and distribution of research grant opportunities are substantial to improve happiness among staff as stated by Helliwell, Layard, and Sachs (2013). On top of it, according to Marks (2012) good services will lead to happiness while Hirschi (2011) stated that career development is pertinent to staff's happiness at work place. Meanwhile, according to Andrew (2011), workplace happiness constitutes the drivers of workplace leadership, workplace community, workplace enjoyment, workplace enrichment, work relationships, work-life balance, work variety, work teams, work reward, work meaningfulness, work engagement, and work equity Despite vast studies that had been implemented to study happiness among employees, not many studies had been implemented to measure happiness among university staff.…”

Without any doubt happiness among staff in any organization is pertinent to ensure continued growth and development. However, not many studies were carried out to determine the domains that will be able to measure the level of happiness among staff in universities. Thus, the aim of this study is to elicit the domains that explain the overall happiness index among university staff. A qualitative method using the Nominal Group Technique was employed to collect data from five clusters in a research university in Malaysia. The findings revealed a number of domains and sub-domains that will assist in the development of a happiness index. It is believed that this study will be useful for universities to examine on the level of happiness index in their respective universities.
