“…This axiom is extended in Figure 2, revealing Indigenous pedagogical learning frameworks [52] of linear and nonlinear thinking styles, as well as behavioral responses to the real world, which are functions of remoteness from urban centers. Acknowledging this contextual linkage has often been neglected in literature concerning thinking and behavioral styles, including organizational development, interventions, and training programs [53]. Specifically, in the colored heat map of Figure 2, the largest theme (labeled Vocation and Education and colored red to indicate high importance), nonlinear thinking is, for example, job-education-money, a lineage of concepts that is distinctively different than linear ideology embraced in cosmopolitan settings, i.e., education-job-money.…”

Özpolat et al (2013) suggested numerous social relations, personal factors, and extraneous factors that influence lifestyle development [53].

This study aimed to identify employment barriers experienced by long-term working Indigenous Australians so that initiatives can be taken to ensure their social inclusion and participation in the workplace. A qualitative approach was carried out by interviewing 25 Australian Indigenous people in Nhulunbuy. The participants were without employment prospects and so embraced a vocational educational training (VET) program that enabled them to transition into sustainable jobs in small businesses and the mining sector. A qualitative analysis that employed the Leximancer process using data of comprehensive interviews recorded respondents’ experiences from being unemployed to the sustainable different states of wellbeing associated with long-term employment. The participants showed preparedness to confront entrenched barriers to employment in the Australian labor market, but their residual participation was a function of preferences as well as aspirations of cultural attachment. This paper offers helpful advice to decision makers at the national level to redress the high rate of Indigenous unemployment. The key message of our research is that government policies that pursue the ideal of socioeconomic equality need to examine the values of cultural diversity and differences to ensure Indigenous people successfully participate in Australian mainstream society.
