The primary purpose of Issues in Career Development is to provide a
broad look at the field of career development including career
counseling, career guidance, career education, and general career
development programming, and to examine some of the field's major
themes, approaches, and assumptions. We will examine both knowledge
from the past as well as what the future might bring. We will bring
together a variety of experts/authors from the area of interest and
try to provide readers with a framework for action based on the
best available research information. The concept of career
development is in a period of dramatic transition resulting from
equally dramatic changes in the labor market and the socio-cultural
environment. Work has a different meaning today than it had one
hundred, fifty, or even ten years ago. Career is now much more
tightly interwoven with life, and lifestyle. In that context,
career development can only be understood when viewed as a part of
the broader concept of human development. Past research clearly
indicates that interventions can and do have a significant impact
on a variety of career development areas (e.g. job satisfaction,
worker productivity), however, there are significant questions that
are yet to be answered, and given the changing career/work
landscape, significant questions that are not yet known. Particular
areas of interest for the future relate to the changing nature of
the labor market, gender and minority group issues, socio-economic
trends, etc. Historically, much of the research on career
development has assumed that psychological factors play the major
role in a person's career choices. However, it is becoming
increasingly clear that the environment plays a much bigger role
than previously assumed. This monograph series will examine these
and other relevant issues in the years to come.
