“…For example, calling has been linked to career self-efficacy strivings (Dik et al, 2008), which are beliefs about one’s capability to achieve career goals (i.e., career goal self-efficacy [CGSE]), and to career decision self-efficacy (Dik & Steger, 2008). Moreover, studies have linked goal self-efficacy to lower levels of depression and anxiety (Karoly, Okun, Ruehlman, & Pugliese, 2008; Offerman, Schroevers, van der Velden, de Boer, & Pruyn, 2006; Pomaki, ter Doest, & Maes, 2006), greater personal growth and positive coping strategies (Kraaij et al, 2008), increased quality of life (Boersma, Maes, Joekes, & Dusseldorp, 2006), and greater career and life satisfaction (Verbruggen & Sels, 2010). Calling has also been linked to increased satisfaction in a number of domains, such as life satisfaction (Duffy, Allan, & Bott, 2012), academic satisfaction (Duffy, Allan, & Dik, 2011), and job satisfaction (Duffy, Dik, & Steger, 2011).…”
