Career Realization Model: Perspective of Individual Values and Attitudes, as an
Educational-Developmental Tool for Teachers and Advisors
This article presents a theoretical model for career realization, the basis for which is the assumption that an individual independently shapes their career, where career is interpreted as the implementation of accepted values that determine a person’s attitudes and behaviors. It characterizes contemporary careers and analyzes the issue of values as the basis for action in relation to career realization. A career model based on accepted values and demonstrated attitudes illustrates certain regularities in the methods of career realization with regard to the possibility of change and the actualization. The model indicates an axiological scope of the career realization process, constituting a proposition for discussion and thought on the methods of interpretation of career, its course, and its determinants. It can prove useful in career counseling for students, adults, and active professionals, and in diagnosing their preferences, interests, attitudes, and value systems. It can also be used in designing curricula for pedagogy, psychology, sociology, human resources administration, and so forth, because it facilitates understanding of motives underlying human behaviors and actions in different situations in private and professional life.
