Career Construction Counseling effectiveness fostering career self-regulation

Abstract

This study aims to analyse the Effectiveness of Career Construction Counselling in fostering career adaptability, adaptation of responses, and vocational identity in a sample of 41 participants, of whom 21 were assigned to the intervention group and 20 to the control group. Measurements of outcomes, with regard to adaptability, adaptation of responses, and vocational identity were applied at the start of counselling, the end of counselling, and three months after intervention. Findings revealed both the effectiveness of this approach to facilitate career adaptation strategies and the stability of the gains achieved throughout the intervention. Finally, the limitations of the study and its implications for research and practice are discussed.
