“…The anticipatory psychological contract is defined as individuals' pre employment beliefs about their future employment, including promises they want to make to their future employers and inducements they expect to receive in return [20]. In this study, we focus on Millennials' expectations about employer inducements because a breach of these expectations can have a detrimental effect on a number of outcomes, such as job satisfaction, commitment, job performance, and intention to stay [22,25]. Since the internal dynamic of career motives and goals meets continually with the external dynamic of environmental influences.…”

“…In light of empirical evidence of women's lower pay expectations, these findings suggest that women who expect less pay than men are likely to be offered less pay than their equally qualified male counterparts. Pay expectation appears to be an important factor in the quest to explain the gender wage gap [25]. It is apparent that gender has a very large effect upon occupational expectations.…”

“…Therefore, when examining the VEC of Chinese populations, researchers should consider the effects that the vocational expectation of traditional Chinese families have on their children. Because Chinese culture and community highly value family relationships and filial piety, children are encouraged to follow and fulfill parental expectations [18]. In other words, children must sacrifice their needs and suppress their autonomy to meet parental expectations.…”

Abstract-In this study, the effects of paternal support and maternal support on the Vocational Exploration and commitment to career choices of 368 Taiwanese college students were examined. Based on an integrative literature review, this study designed four constructs pertaining to paternal/maternal support: emotional support, information provision, esteem and autonomy support, and tangible assistance. The Commitment to Career Choices Scale (CCCS) was divided to two dimensions: a Vocational exploration and Commitment (VEC) dimension reflecting variations in one's level of commitment to career choices, and a Tendency to Foreclose (TTF) dimension assessing individual differences in how one commits to career choices. According to the results of regression analysis, the esteem and autonomy support from mothers negatively predicted vocational exploration and commitment (VEC). Furthermore, the esteem and autonomy support from fathers was the only negative and significant predictor of the tendency to foreclose. The negative relationship represents openness to the exploratory experiences of the commitment process with paternal support. The other three significant predictors, esteem and autonomy support from mothers, information support from mothers, and emotional support from fathers, were positively correlated with the tendency to foreclose.Index Terms-Vocational exploration and commitment, paternal support, maternal support, tendency to foreclose.

“…Although these were not the focus of this study, the literature showed these were important factors to consider when evaluating Chinese international students (R. H. G. Chung, 2001;Lee, 2007;Leung, Hou, Gati, & Li, 2011;Louie, 2004aLouie, , 2004bPark, 2003;M. Zhou, 2009).…”

There are more Chinese student-scholars than any other group of international students studying in the United States. Despite this, there are relatively few studies that have focused on specific educational needs and required career support services for Chinese international students. This exploratory study was conducted to determine the relationship between career aspirations and emotional adjustment of Chinese international students. Results from Chinese students were compared with those of students from the United States. Relationships between the career aspirations and emotional adjustment of Chinese and U.S. students did not reveal statistically significant differences. However, regression analysis indicated that social stress was a statistically significant predictor of career aspirations for U.S. students. Chinese and U.S. students were more alike than different on career aspirations and emotional adjustment, and observed educational similarities appeared to outweigh any cultural differences that existed when determining these outcomes.
