This study aims to analyze the research trends of adolescents’ career and academic issues in the counseling field and to suggest future research directions. Eighty journal articles published between December 2000 and July 2024 were analyzed, focusing on the period, subjects, methods, variables, and topics of research. The findings revealed that studies on adolescents’ career and academic issues have steadily increased since 2000, peaking between 2020 and 2024. The largest proportion of studies (40%) targeted high school students, followed by university students, middle school students, and other youth groups. Quantitative research was the most common method of research (81%), followed by qualitative research, mixed methods research, and literature-based research. Among 31 studies that examined the relationship between career- and academic-related variables, adaptive readiness was the most frequently used career-related variable, followed by adapting responses, adaptability resources, adaptation results, and others. Learning outcomes and behaviors were the most frequently used academic-related variables, followed by self-concept and motivation, emotions, and environmental variables. In the qualitative studies, the key topics included the exploration of characteristics for specific participants and crisis and coping experiences. On the basis of these findings, this study suggests future research directions for adolescents’ career and academic counseling.

The purpose of this study was to focus on college students in their 20s, the best time for preventing, early detecting, treating, and managing mental health problems, and to identify the demand and perception of college students for university counseling centers as a mental health support system. In order to achieve the purpose of the study, an online survey was conducted and analyzed on 1,923 students enrolled in B university in the non-metropolitan area. As a result, nearly 70% of the students knew the name and location of the counseling center. Only 17.4% of the total respondents used the counseling center's services and were somewhat satisfied with the counseling center and its programs. Regarding the future plans to use the counseling center, more than 80% of students said they would try to use the counseling center, but 15.1% said they would not use it at all, because they did not think it would be helpful, did not want to be seen as a problematic person, and were afraid that people around them would know. Career and employment issues were overwhelmingly selected as the topic they wanted to receive help, with female students reporting higher rates and satisfaction levels than male students in all categories. When it comes to improvement requirements for the counseling center, thorough confidentiality was identified as the most important. Based on the results of the study, implications were drawn so that the university counseling centers could actively accept the rapidly changing needs of the times and play a pivotal role and function in promoting the mental health of university students, and follow-up research was suggested.

Identifying and overcoming conflicts of Japanese intrapreneurs

ABSTRACT In this study, we analyzed the conflicts intrapreneurs have with large Japanese companies through interviews. The results revealed that they faced conflicts related to mismatch of expectations for business ideas, career issues, mismatch of business scale, lack of skills, and risk-taking while they were passionate about new business creation in the companies. This study proposes that companies and policy makers work on overcoming the conflicts to cultivate a corporate environment that promotes intrapreneurial activities. To overcome the conflicts, companies and policy makers should realize intrapreneurs’ business ideas, develop their effective careers in companies, support their individual efforts, and collaborate with external partners in addition to internal stakeholders. Not only a single company’s effort but also society-wide efforts to promote intrapreneurship are necessary.

The Role of Volunteerism in Shaping Youth Social Skills: A Study of Motivational Factors in Malaysia

Volunteering by young people is essential because it helps them to contribute to the country and society. Volunteering is a concept and practice that refers to contributing or sharing time, resources, knowledge, skills or abilities, and experience voluntarily, without coercion, and without expecting a reward. Its central aim is to contribute to the development of the country. Despite all efforts to cultivate the spirit of voluntarism in society, studies on the motivation of young people to participate in voluntary activities have yet to receive much attention in research. This study examines youth participation in volunteer activities in Malaysia. In particular, the factors that motivate youths to participate in volunteer activities were examined. The snowball method was used in this study. According to the results, respondents ranked value factors as the most important part of volunteering. At the same time, they ranked understanding as the second most important part of volunteering. Respondents also saw protective qualities as an important aspect of volunteering. Finally, young people consider career and social issues the least important aspects of volunteering. The results of this study will provide some suggestions and recommendations on how institutions can help attract and engage students in volunteering more successfully.

Exploring Career Construction: A Single Narrative Case Study Guided by the Systems Theory Framework of Career Development (STFCD)

This narrative case study explores the career story of a single female medical professional in Pakistan and how the integration of the systems theory framework of career development (STFCD), the narrative approach and a constructivist worldview can help individuals in constructing or shaping careers within the unique Pakistani context. The study uses case study and narrative inquiry as merged methodological framework. Through conversational interviews and document analysis of the participant, the study examines the participant’s career experiences, choices and meaning-making processes. The findings shed light on the influence of various systems (individual, social and contextual) on the participant’s career trajectory, the construction of her career narrative and her active role in career decision-making. Additionally, these insights can inform how STFCD can help construct a person’s career journey. The career issues highlighted in the narrative of the participant may not be attributable to all women working in the same field or may be in commonality with other women regardless of their profession. Overall, this study contributes to a deeper understanding of career construction using STFCD in the Pakistani context and offers theoretical implications for women career development using a narrative approach.

Development and Validation of an Instrument to Assess Activism towards Environmental and Social Sustainability in Career Counseling

Considering the recent attention to challenges regarding sustainability even within career issues, this study is aimed at providing the development and initial validation of the instrument “Thoughts, Feelings, and Actions about Whatever Does not go as It Should” (TFA) which may be used in career counseling and research activities to assess activism towards environmental and social sustainability in career guidance. With this aim, two different studies were carried out. In the first study, after having developed items and having examined content validity, the factorial structure and the reliability of the instrument was tested. The second study tested the discriminant validity with measures of career adaptability, propensity to sustainability in taking decisions about one’s future, and life satisfaction. Results showed good psychometric support for the TFA instrument for the Italian population. Moreover, the results obtained showed as the total score and the sub-factors score of TFA are related but distinct from the constructs considered, suggesting that workers with higher levels of these dimensions are characterized by greater career adaptability, propensity to sustainability in taking decisions about own future, and life satisfaction.

Career Counselling Individuals Experiencing Workplace Bullying

Workplace bullying is a pervasive career issue that impacts not only the victim’s vocational well-being, but also the perpetrator, witnesses, and organization.

Exploring the Goals of Social Justice Teaching Through the Eyes of Early Career Science Teachers

ABSTRACT Social justice-oriented teacher education programs infuse critical pedagogies in their coursework to build teachers’ capacity to design and enact teaching that seeks to disrupt systemic oppression and injustice. Graduates of these programs often seek teaching positions in schools that serve working class communities of color with the goal of working alongside students, families, and the community to act as agents of change. Yet, we know that teacher turnover remains high in these schools, especially for early career teachers (i.e. 1–5 years teaching experience). Understanding the needs and challenges that teachers face in their first few years of teaching can help teacher education programs design intentional support systems to ameliorate the lack of support early career teachers experience and issues with teacher turnover. In this paper, we share excerpts from interviews conducted with 20 early career science teachers that shared the social justice strategies, lessons, and pedagogies they used in their classroom. Our findings identified a multitude of teaching practices that depict teachers’ everyday pursuit of social justice in their science classrooms, namely how teachers reflected on their positionality, built restorative relationships with students, developed students’ critical dispositions, built positive science identities, increased student access to science, and incorporated students’ knowledge, experiences, and histories, some of which also presented some challenges for them. We describe these practices and associated challenges with implications for how teacher education can support early career teachers and their alumni in their continued development as social justice educators.
