Abstract
Abstract Established theories of career development have been heavily criticised for some years. The recent application of social learning theory to career decision-making may answer many of the objections currently levelled at existing theories. However, social learning theory itself has at least two major limitations -an inadequate conceptualisation of the self, and a neglect of developmental/maturational factors. It is suggested that by integrating social learning approaches with Gottfredson's circumscription/compromise theory, a more comprehensive account of career development may be possible. A composite theory is outlined along with its implications for vocational counselling, for the use of psychological tests and for the dissemination of occupational information.
