“…According the PWT, those who suffer from economic problems have great difficulties in making career-related choices. The proposed theoretical relationship has been empirically supported thus far [25,26]. Therefore, the study put forward the first hypothesis: Hypothesis 1 (H1).…”

“…Similarly, those who have economic difficulties also tend to have fewer career-related psychological resources that could be utilized to address career-related exploration and implementation. To date, this theoretical assumption has been partially confirmed [25], with a few exceptions [26]. Therefore, the study proposed the second hypothesis: Hypothesis 2 (H2).…”

“…Based on the theory, people who have economic difficulties often have a lower level of decent work perceptions. No consensus has been reached on this theoretical assumption, with some supporting empirically [25] and a few exceptions [11,26]. Although according to the theory, the study poses the negative relationship between the two as the fourth hypothesis: Hypothesis 4 (H4).…”

“…Decent work plays a central role in the model, and it has five components: safe working conditions, access to health care, sufficient compensation, free time and rest during the work week, and values match between working place and family [8]. Previous studies have tested the model in various countries, such as Brazil [17], South Korea [18], Switzerland [19], UK [20], Italy [21], Turkey [22], Portugal [23], and China [9], and in various sorts of respondents, such as low-income employees [24], people who suffer from Chiari malformation [25], racially and ethnically diverse employees [10], and emerging adults [11].…”

Drawing on the psychology of working theory (PWT), the present study was performed to evaluate the predictor session of the PWT and career exploration behavior with a sample of Chinese nursing college students from diverse backgrounds. The research employed a cross-sectional research design and 854 nursing students were recruited from one health vocational college situated in Northwest China. Structural equation modeling was utilized to conduct the analysis; confirmatory factor analysis and structural model testing were performed accordingly. Moreover, mediation analysis that used bias-corrected percentile bootstrapping method and moderation analysis were carried out in accordance. Overall, most of the proposed direct paths were significant, but the mediation results were mixed. Proactive personality simply moderated the impact of economic constraints on career adaptability. The results suggest that PWT is applicable to nursing college students and the model is generally supported in the Chinese context. It is the first empirical work that used this model among nursing college students and future decent work perceptions contributed another important antecedent of career exploration behavior. The practical implications based on these findings are provided as well.

“…Research has begun to build substantive empirical evidence for the utility of PWT (e.g., Autin, Duffy, Jacobson, Dosani, & Bott, 2018;Douglass, Velez, Conlin, Duffy, & England, 2017;Duffy et al, 2018;Kossen & McIlveen, 2018;Tokar & Kaut, 2018). Additionally, PWT tenets rest on a foundation of previous empirical work linking contextual variables, work volition, career adaptability, and well-being (e.g., Duffy et al, 2012;Zacher, 2014).…”

This article advances the psychology of working theory by developing a parallel change‐based paradigm to guide interventions at the level of individuals (i.e., the psychology of working counseling) and systems (i.e., the psychology of working systemic intervention). The change paradigm presented in this article includes (a) a needs assessment encompassing survival, social connection/contribution, and self‐determination and (b) input on the mobilization of agentic action that includes critical reflection and action, proactive engagement, social support, and community engagement. The needs assessment and agentic action aspects of this approach can be used to foster change in individual counseling, advocacy, and systemic intervention. Case examples reflecting a systemic intervention and an individual counseling vignette are presented along with implications for research, such as explorations of the impact of these change models on client outcomes and systemic change efforts.
