“…Personal characteristics are likely to affect worker attitudes because of their relationship with social status or life cycle changes. Previous studies have found that gender, age, education, household size, and marital status were related to our four dependent variables (for example, Bae and Orlinsky, 2004;Hornung and Rousseau, 2007;Manolopoulos, 2008). Work conditions may have an important impact on professional identities and work attitudes.…”

Theoretical approaches in studies on professionals are implicitly based on an assumption of homogeneity of attitudes among professionals. However, this assumption has never been validated. This paper examines whether professionals worldwide have relatively homogenous attitudes towards work as compared to non-professionals, and compares two competing theoretical arguments regarding the role of the state in shaping professionals' work-related attitudes. These were tested using a multinational representative sample of 12,015 respondents from twenty-one countries. Multilevel models showed that professionals do display more homogenous attitudes than non-professionals and that the effect of professional group membership on attitudes does not vary across countries.

PurposeThis qualitative study attempts to understand what kinds of evolutionary selection and variation occur in family businesses during the preparation of a managerial and ownership succession.Design/methodology/approachThe study was conducted by interviewing members of one family business in Louisiana, USA and one in Finland in order to contribute to the understanding of succession preparation in small family businesses with two generations. Evolutionary economics was adapted for this interdisciplinary study to explain evolutionary changes in a family business succession.FindingsThe findings indicate that both selection and variation can take place through different routes during the preparatory phase of a family business succession. Selection is influenced both by the founder and next generations. However, it does not occur in company A due to the reluctance of the younger generation. In company B selection is processed through joint thinking and visioning. This will lead to variation which is shaped by both generations.Research limitations/implicationsThis study is based on qualitative interpretation. Limitations of the study are the small number of informants and the lack of generalization of the results.Practical implicationsThis study shows that selection and variation are intertwined. If selection does not occur in a family business, it leads to no variation between the generations. However, exits are possible; death and birth of companies are part of the life cycle of family businesses.Originality/valueEvolutionary thinking has not been studied recently among family firms except in the field of evolutionary psychology. Evolutionary thinking offers a variety of topics to study in the future.

“…They also provided empirical support for a number of recent reports (Bae, 2001;Park, 2006;Yoo & Park, 2002) describing a variety of risk factors for Korean counselor groups that may affect their personal well-being. Due to the lack of more equivalent comparison groups between the current sample and the American samples used in previous wellness studies, further cross-national comparisons in mean wellness scores could not be made.…”

“…In addition, counseling has increasingly been accepted as a profession by the Korean government. As a result, a growing number of government-sponsored public counseling institutions have been established (Bae, 2001). The central and local governments in Korea have also encouraged middle and high schools to hire school counselors for students with career and psychological problems (Lee, 2003).…”

“…In this regard, personal wellness may be considered one of the Korean counselor's personal quality variables that have an influence on his or her effectiveness with clients. Given that Korean counselors are facing difficulties and challenges such as limited employment opportunities (Bae, 2001), lower income compared with other professions (Yoo & Park, 2002), and a variety of occupational stresses (Choi, Yang, & Lee, 2002;Park, 2006), it is imperative for researchers to pay attention to the current wellness status of Korean counselors and to investigate how their personal wellness influences their counseling effectiveness.…”

Wellness is defined as an individual's lifestyle, choices, and habits as a way to achieve optimal health and well-being. Professional organizations and literature in the counseling field underscored the importance of enhancing personal wellness of professional counselors and counselors-in-training. The assumption underlying this movement was that counselors' personal wellness would be directly translated into their effectiveness with clients in counseling practice. However, this assumption has received little empirical attention. In addition, the review of counselor wellness literature illustrated the need for addressing potential moderators in the relationship of counselor wellness to counseling effectiveness as an attempt to provide an elaborated knowledge base for wellness interventions in counselor training. Thus, this study investigated the relationship of Korean counselors' personal wellness to their clients' perceptions of counseling effectiveness and the moderating effects of counselor empathy on this relationship. Participants in this study were 133 counselor-client dyads who had engaged in face-to-face individual counseling at university counseling centers or youth counseling institutes located in Seoul and Gyeonggi Province, South Korea. Survey measures for counselors were used for the assessment of personal wellness, empathy, and social desirability. Client survey measures were used to assess counseling effectiveness variables: (a) satisfaction with counselors' in-session behavior, (b) evaluation about the session impact, and (c) perception of the working alliance. The results from correlation and multiple regression analyses indicated that Korean counselors' personal wellness scores were not significantly related to their clients' ratings of counseling effectiveness. However, a series of hierarchical regression analyses revealed that Korean counselors' cognitive empathy moderated the relationships of their personal wellness to client-perceived counseling effectiveness. Specifically, the findings suggested that, for Korean counselors with lower levels of cognitive empathy, TABLE OF CONTENTS LIST OF TABLES.
