Careership Theory by Phil Hodkinson

The Theory Continued

Sources

  • Decision- Making Process
  • Technical Rationality - only cognitive and discursive
  • Pragmatic Rationality - involves physical, practical, emotional and the affective as well as cognitive.
  • Routines and Turning Points
  • Career could be broken up by occasional turning points, or times of significant personal career change, usually only visible in hindsight.

Hodkins P., (2008) Understanding career decision-making and proression: Careership revisited.

Phil Hodkinson

- Professor of Lifelong Learning, research, doctoral supervisor and supervision.

Context of Theory Development

  • Began research for government Training Credit Scheme in 1991
  • Failure of Folk Theory
  • Hodkinson viewed people and jobs as dynamic (Based on work of Pierre Bourdieu)
  • Other theories - developmental, social learning, and opportunity structures failed to explain

The Theory

  • argues that career decision- making and progression have 3 overlapping dimensions
  • positions and dispositions of the individual.
  • relations between forces acting in the field(s) within which decisions are made and careers progress.
  • the on-going longitudinal pathway the career followed
  • Horizons for Action
  • career decision-making and progression take place in the interactions between the person and the field that inhabit.
