 Career Development Theories
• Trait Factor - Skills, values, interests, and
personality characteristics are analyzed and
matched with job factors or an occupational
profile.

classification system that matches personality
characteristics and personal preferences to job
characteristics. The Holland Codes are six
personality/career types that help describe a
wide range of occupations. Six Personality
Categories: Realistic, Investigative, Social,
Conventional, Enterprising, and Artistic
Personality Traits and Career Options
• Decision – based on Albert Bandura’s theory of self-
efficacy, which means that a person may exercise
control over his or her thoughts, beliefs, and actions,
and that self-efficacy is the predictor of behavior.
Bandura explained that self-efficacy is tied to
motivation, which is the most important driver of
one’s career development.
• Development or Life-Space Theory - Humans are in
constant change and go through life learning and
doing new things, while changing roles in the
process. Donald Super influenced the idea that
developing a sense of self and realize that you
change over time is important when planning your
career.
