Super’s Theory: A Life-Span, Life-Space Approach to Careers CPS 616 Instructor: Emily E. Bullock, Ph.D.

Super’s Vocational Theory History of Super’s work Career Pattern Study (1985) Coming of Age in Middletown: Careers in the Making Unique in espousing a developmental perspective in viewing occupational choice 14 propositions serve as assumptions of the theory

Super’s theory Life Space: The social situation in which an individual lives Life Span: life stages such as childhood which are linked to career stages Life Career Rainbow

Super’s Career Life Rainbow

Super’s Theory Life Span Career Stages Growth: (4-13yrs) Exploration: (14-24yrs) crystallizing , specifying, and implementing an occupational choice Establishment (25-44yrs) stabilizing, consolidating, and advancing in a position Maintenance (45-65yrs) holding on, keeping up, and innovating Disengagement (over 65 yrs) deceleration, retirement planning, and retirement living

Super’s Theory Career maturity and career adaptability Proponent of adding a measure of values to career batteries Self-concept system Criticized for focusing on the majority population

Super’s Theory: Practical Applications Assessment’s 4 Phases: Career Development Assessment and Counseling Life structure and work role salience Career development status and resources Vocational identity Occupational self–concepts and life themes

Super’s Theory: Practical Applications Integration of data and interpretation of results The Counseling Process Interview is the prime means of directly fostering growth and exploratory experiences Advocates the use of “generic counseling processes” based on the needs of the client Cyclical Counseling-composed of directive and nondirective approaches

Theory of Career Construction Updates and advances Super’s Theory Considered more applicable to a multicultural society and a global economy Based on the idea that we each construct representations of reality Career development is due to the adaptation to the environment rather than internal maturation Career development occurs through an active process of meaning making rather than a discovery of preexisting facts

Theory of Career Construction 3 Main Components of the Theory Vocational Personality Type An individual’s career-related abilities, needs, values, and interests Seeks to augment P-E fit theories Career Adaptability How one constructs a career; individual’s readiness and resources for coping with current and imminent vocational development tasks, occupational transitions, and personal traumas Life Theme Why of vocational behavior in a way that is highly unique to each individual “consists of a problem or a set of problems which a person wishes to solve above everything else and the means that the person finds to achieve a solution”

Evaluating Super’s and Career Construction Theory How might you use these theories with clients? Does this theory help you to add questions to your repertoire? How might this theory effect your view and use of assessment? What do you think of the concept of career maturity? How do these theories compare with others we have studied?
