摘要
The present study examined the career concerns experienced by employed adults to determine if they coincide with the vocational development tasks postulated in Super's model of the maintenance career stage, relate to age, and reflect a renewal stage which has been proposed as an addition to Super's model. The career concerns stated by 136 maintenance stage workers were sorted by judges into manifest categories which were used to construct a matrix of joint occurrences. A scree test on the principal components in this matrix identified six latent categories which were titled keeping up with new developments, questioning future direction and goals, struggling to hold on, continuing education, preparing for retirement, and shifting focus. The results conform to Super's model, indicate that adaptation not maturation propels development during the maintenance stage, and support the posited renewal task which deals with midlife reassessment of career choice and commitment. © 1990.
