Values-Based Holistic Approach To Career Development

1. Values-Based Holistic Approach To Career Development PROPONENT:Duane Brown

2. DUANE BROWN Professor Emiritus of education at University of north Carolina at Chapell Hill

3. Brown's value-based theory examines an individual’s values and how they influence their career choice decisions. Despite the fact that it focuses on values, it is a holistic approach that covers an individual's environment and their culture ( Oxbridge.n.d .)

4. TENENTS Values, Rather than interests, play an important role in the career decision-making process because they present the direction to a desired end state and have a central role in setting goals or expected outcomes.

5. Brown's Values-Based Holistic Approach assumes 3 Types of Values 1.Cultural Values The Cultural values are the elements or convictions common to a group of people. These determine the way of being and guide the behavior and decisions of individuals within the same group .

6. 2. Life Values- are those that, once you identify them, help you with decision-making and provide the building blocks for your character — specifically the one you want to have.

7. 3. Work Values work values are the  subset of your beliefs and ideas that are related to your occupation or job . These core principles are an important part of who you are. They include things like honesty, service, self-respect, respect for others, peace, and success . Work values can be subdivided to: 1 .1 . Expressed work values which are influenced by other people's value systems and may not truly represent his/her true values 2 .2 . Implied (or hidden) work values representing authentic self-knowledge and can be brought out through an insightful dialogue involving self-reflection

8. Career-life choices are often based on expressed work values, which results in lack of focus, dissatisfaction, unhappiness and even depression because they rarely resemble an individual's implied work values. Implied work values are stable, solid beliefs that persist, even if priorities shift throughout life and require adjustments between work and life roles from time to time. They may be a truer and more accurate criterion for making self-actualizing career and life choices. True values, when fully expressed, are capable of leading a person toward focus, purpose, satisfaction, and happiness .   Values have cognitive, affective and behavioral components which facilitate prioritization of values for decision making .

9. Behavior is a goal-directed action. Each person develops a relatively small number of values that are prioritized in a value system . A value is crystallized once it has a label that is meaningful to the individual .

10. Once values are crystallized and prioritized, the client can go on directly to career choice making. When there is a value system match between the worker and the occupation, there is congruence.

11. Life satisfaction is dependent upon fulfilling an array of life roles that satisfy all essential values . The prominence of a role is related to the degree to which it is expected to be a source of satisfaction of essential values .

12. Two Work Conflicts 1.Intra-role conflict 2. Inter-role Conflict

13. In a situation where none of the options available will satisfy the values of the decision maker, the option that conflicts least with strongly held, highly prioritized values will be selected. Values are the dominant factor in the decision making process but self-efficacy and interests will also have an impact on decision-making.

14. Success in any life role depends upon a combination of factors related cognitive, affective, and physical skills and aptitudes that will enable one to adapt to inevitable role changes and motivation . Initial career selection, career change, dismissal, retirement, adjustments within the career role, and/or quitting a job.  

15. A client with an already established role other than work, must be helped to assess the impact of the career decision-making on the established roles .
