Dispositional Employability and Career Adaptability of University Students by Dr. Peter McIlveen and Dr. Jason Brown
Dispositional employability is a psychosocial process that facilitates proactive career self-management behaviours. Students at a university in Australia completed an online survey containing measures of dispositional employability, career adaptability, job search self-efficacy, and career identity.

Our findings demonstrate the importance of resilience, motivation and optimism to support university students’ transition from study to employment.

Calling and job orientations characterized unique RIASEC environments among 480 employees: Greater calling characterized workers in a Social environment, and greater job orientation characterized those in a Conventional environment.

Work Values over Time: Factor Structure Differences between Early- and Mid-career Professionals by Sabrena G. Arosh
Work values are beliefs about desirable end states which are prioritised and guide one’s behaviour in professional areas. The Catalyst Value Profile consists of 22 work values from Integrated Quality of Life theory mapped to four underlying larger domains. Validation of the 123 ‘Desired Ideals’ items was conducted in two Malaysian samples; one group of fresh graduates and entry-level job seekers and another of mid-career and experienced professionals. Exploratory factor analysis showed a four-factor structure in fresh graduates but 16 factors among older professionals. The role of work experience in values development is further discussed.
